Does anyone have problems with the brake pedal being close to the accelerator? I find that I can only wear certain shoes/trainers otherwise the edge of my foot can catch the brake pedal too easily. I often end up driving without shoes which gives me extra legroom but as the heel mat on the floor is so hard on long journeys it starts to hurt.
Also, can the accelerator be adjusted in anyway as the brake/clutch are? at very small throttle openings like m'way cruising the angle of my foot/leg is not ideal and my upper leg has no support on the seat, would be great to be able to move the accelerator back a little without impacting its full range of travel.
I'm not exactly a sasquatch, I'm 6'2 but have long legs a short body and size 12 feet. I can live with it as I have done for the past year but it would be nice to be more comfortable, there's certainly less room around the pedals than I had in the Griff.

No adjustment on the throttle pedal, you can turn the plate on the brake pedal round that may help or you could drill new holes in the plate to move it over.

I just went out and brought a narrow fit trainer, the narrowest that was comfortable and with as narrow a sole as possible for driving to get round the problem of braking and accelerating at the same time, like you I am 6'2" with a size 12 foot.

As for the accelerater position try pushing it down further, that helps;-)

I have the stainless Leven pedals. The fixing position is offset to one side, allowing you to put more space between the pedals. Coupled with adjustable pedal height it is easy to avoid the problems you describe.

Cheers, I wondered if the Leven pedals would help, sounds like they are the solution.

If their set level your feet will touch. I had mine altered so each is slightly set at a different hight and presto sorted.

Since fitting Leven(ACT) pedals all my feet problems have disappeared.
