I suspect they do actually, but I wouldn't do it with those.  I would get a 
sheet of wood about 20 or 30mm thick to use as the base board.  I would then 
get a thin strip of aluminium (25x2 cross section would be perfect, I got 
metre lengths of that from B&Q before), cut it into perhaps 150mm lengths 
and bend it into a U shape.  The bottom of the U I would bolt onto the base 
board for each pedal, then fix an M4 bolt horizontally across the top of 
each U with the pedal mounted on it so it's free to rotate.

Job done then!

Isn't there any way you can replicate what the pedal is actually connected 
to in a real one?  It shouldn't be hard to think of something to replicate 
the feeling.
