I made my own pedal extensions on my Midget a few years ago and has   
worked well for me.
I like driving in the arms out position but being only 5'6" tall, I would   
find that the steering wheel on the Midget was buried in my chest if I   
wanted to operate the pedals.

I removed the pedals from the car, then cut the actual pedal from the   
pedal arm. Welded a 1"
extension to bring the actual pedal closer the me. I used 3'16" steel and   
doubled it up on both sides to prevent en flexing of the pedals.

I have considered doing this on the MGB but so far have not seen a need,   
however I do not see why it would not be possible

gerry

PS - make sure you have complete confidence in you welding abilities,   
because you would not want to have the weld break at the most inopportune   
moment (like a panic stop)
