It sounds like you need a new throttle pedal as well, the rod with the balljoints normally only bends if the pedal can move from side to side excessively when the rubber has become unbonded from the metal hinge.

I guess you have a LHD car, as the linkage is different on L and RHDs. It's available new from £30.59 from Porsche, part number 25 in the picture below.. I may have a spare but won't be able to check till Monday

As Butzi says, probably not worth fitting the replacement without a new accelerator pedal as well - Same thing likely to happen again and again...

PS - Chris, any luck finding that Tractor leaflet

the pedal rubber and hinge are fine the people who fitted out the car might have fitted an inferior one (just a thought)
