Austin 7 special foot pedal lack of space?

[Duncan Grimmond]

I'd avoid cut-and-shut welding to forged pedals if at all possible. Heating and bending is preferable IMHO but tricky and it can be time-consuming as you may be amazed at how much difference a small tweak near the fulcrum can make to the position of the pedal face! I'd suggest your brake pedal is too near the floor and the gas pedal is miles out of place but each to his own....
I am often asked to make blisters for chaps with larger feet/shoes and if your pedal set up is as you want it to be, fit a blister.
