I couldn't drive one of my cars until I changed the pedal positions. The clutch and brake were too far away from the seat and the accelerator was positioned underneath the brake so you tended to brake and accelerate at the some time. The reach problem was solved by changing the brake pedal to a different (longer) one and extending the clutch pedal. I also bent the brake pedal so that it was closer to the column and changed the round pedal for a narrower rectangular aluminium one to give a bit more clearance. A new accelerator was made out of 5/16 bar and fitted so that it was as far towards the outside as possible and bent so that it operates within the width of the wooden frame. Finally I pinched a pair of my sons very narrow trainers and always tuck my right trouser leg into my sock when driving!
