On a recent 'Wheeler Dealers' episode they re-furbed a Datsun 'Fairlady'
sports car (tinier than even a 100). Ant's feet couldn't work the
pedals, as there was barely a gap between the accelerator and brake
pedals. His solution was to take the brake pedal shaft, which was bent
so as to place the two pedals close, and with a vice and a BFH he bent
it the other way ... 'Job done!' as Ant would say.
I've bought several pairs of shoes solely because had narrow, tapered
toe sections.
