So far there is no "off the shelf" pedal extender for the 68-75 brake pedal
sized accel pedal.
Modifying the original is pretty straightforward, but I've never had the
gumption to do it.
The later pedal is a nice shape, but won't interchange, so probably not a
bad thought to duplicate the shape.
Funny, I had a guy ask the same question yesterday for his 1969 MGB. >>
While talking pedals, does anyone have a solution for the lack of a "dead
pedal," or left footrest, in the B? My '59 MGA had a lovely place to prop up
your foot, and my '00 Mustang has one, too. Not only is it more comfortable
to ride for a long time with a proper footrest, but in cornering it gives you
something solid with which to brace yourself. I guess I could cobble one
together out of plywood and such, but it always seemed like such an obvious
aftermarket improvement I kept thinking someone would build one out of light
but strong metal that would pop-rivet in. Any clues?
