Hrm, well sorry to resurrect an old thread... However I am going to anyways. I am doing this same exact thing. Wishing your link wasn't dead... Btw, found this thread by googling "mount toe clips on bmx pedals".

I found some nice comfy Twisty Odyssey pedals I like and am using them as a nice big platform to replace those lovely metal toe clip ready cages that offer zero shoe sole support. I am splay-footed so most normal pedal setups are miserable for me.

I am a big fan of strapless half toe clips, though they offer no benefit to increasing performance, for street and trail riding they offer you the ability to keep your foot loosely in place and prevent toe overhang / slipping forward and the freedom to adjust for comfort.

So, for these BMX pedals I will be trying to make the half clips work in a safe-ish manner. Basic concept in my head, is a triangular plastic or metal wedge with/make holes in it to match up with the pedal.
