-unless you can fabricate a stop, you may want to try to cut a 2"x2" piece of wood to fit over the pedal and bolt it on. Now that's not the most elegant solution, but it should help you.
If not, then you might be able to apply something like this from Carolina Clutch...

I'd also like to hear any negatives about the spring removal.
I may be biased, as I started this thread, but I have no negatives on the spring removal. The only result is an even pressure, or increase of pressure, while you depress the pedal. The action becomes linear, which is the resultant benefit/reason for removal of the spring. Perhaps the only negative is that the pedal is more difficult to keep depressed for a long period of time...like at a traffic light...but you really shouldn't be doing that anyway.
Be good.
