[Roadsters] early 67 roadster pedal assembly

[Dave]

hi, all.

put the carpet in, and realized that it really limited accelerator pedal 
travel.  then I realized it was no longer  a tight fit on the linkage shaft 
that it bolts to.  then I realized that even without the carpet, it doesn't 
really get full travel.

do I have the pedal bent at a more upward angle?

suggestions?  surely I'm not the first to encounter this.
