Thought you folks might like to see the left-foot rest I built.
It removes my main driving discomfort and provides a steadying effect.
(Yes, a size 13E fits; and, no, it doesn't interfere with clutching.)
Basically, it's a piece of 2x4 with two angle brackets that hook under the
footwell carpeting. It's covered with some ribbed vinyl sheeting I had left
over from building a roll-around toolbox. Reckon I could've left the 2x4
in bare wood, but I didn't want it to look too Morganic.

I also increased right-foot support for highway cruising by doubling-up on
the throttle-return springs. First, I put a new spring in the stock
location; then I moved the hook of the old, tired spring up an inch to where
the clip retainer is (I need to make this more secure, though).

Yeah, talk about lazy.
