To make safe to use You should perform at least static load test. FYI - when we were testing NyloNove pedals the 500kg static force was applied for single pedal still without catastrophic bending/break. (so 1000kg for two pedals) for dynamic use with adequate safety margin this is minimum what You can consider safe (as two years / hundreds of sets show)
They work very well, particularly because they don't get slippery with mud like the OEM footplates. One problem is that the nylon is hydroscopic which means they have a bit more give now, like suspension which is good but it also means the angle is now a bit too low. I need to recad them with the footplate angle more elevated, maybe another 10 degrees or so. Just haven't got around to doing this.

Very nice job! Are you still riding those? How do you find them after one year?

Thanks for the answer! Have you tought in adding some screws like in the nylonove to adjust the angle?@@Roskellan
@@lucacastiglioni4974 I have considered that, but I tried shims and the results wasn't what I had hoped for.
