I'd be near 99% certain that a 307 pedal (frankly any Bosch pedal...) should work however... Essentially they're a two pot device, at 0% throttle one pot reads full resistance and the other reads 0% resistance, and conversely at 100% throttle. This is a good check since if you short one, it's obvious which is wrong.
I'm sure almost all pedals should work - http://www.forum307.com/viewtopic.php?t=31409
That chap appears to be adding cruise to a 1.6 16v 307 with fly-by-wire, but it's a phase 1 so has the silly throttle cable > potentiometer. Seemingly the 307 pedal has a bit built in for if you floor it, it overrides the cruise control/speed limit, but we can ignore that. From the looks of things you just have to change the plug to the one for the 307 pedal and off you go.
Because I have size 16 bloody feet - the 306 pedal box isn't great, so my intention is to build one from varying bits, hopefully using a floor mounted throttle and different pedal box.
That's a great link and it looks like the two will be interchangeable.

I might have to take you up on that as to make sure but it does look like it should work ok.

Once they go heavy you need to replace the cable, but don't get the EPC one as they're shit.
Hmm, I've tried a few positions with my cable and it does male a bit of difference but not much - I guess it's the cable. I replaced the inner cable on my old 306 and it was fine for a bit went heavy again. I'd be interested to see if the 307 pedal works to get rid of the cable!
Once it's gone heavy it won't make any difference what you do. The only thing you can do is replace the outer as it's that part that is worn, basically the plastic sheath that goes between the cable and metal spiral has worn through.
I've got a feeling it's not going to be that easy mounting the pedal but we'll see how it goes.
