There was a similar problem with the Jensen-Healey which was fixed with 
additional pedal extenders (O.E). Shaped H-profile contraptions that 
were bolted to the surface of the original pedals. I still have a set 
somewhere. It brought the pedal surface about 60 mm nearer to the 
driver. Depending on the pedal arrangement this may be a solution? You 
could experiment with stiff carton blocks blocks for the correct size 
and shape.

                      long as we are all showing our underwear, here is
                      my solution to the heat issues.  I used a
                      composite aluminum bubble wrap called Prodex on
                      the 100 floorboards and tunnel cover prior to the
                      standard proper underlayment. It made a huge
                      difference in heat and sound. Hank<br>

                      we are on this topic I did something similar to
                      Richard. Under the insulation boards on the engine
                      side of the foot well I put a layer of Kool Mat.
                      On the inside of the foot well a layer of Noico
                      sound deadening and then a layer of Noico
                      insulation liner. Just to be safe I wrapped the
                      headers. The attached picture is fitting the Koot
                      Mat before installing the insulation boards.<span

                        insulated the footwells from the engine side
                        with an adhesive heat barrier material used in
                        race cars.  Sorry, canâ??t tell you the
                        manufacturer.  I made sure there were no cracks,
                        gaps or holes. Any firewall gaps where cables or
                        hoses go through  were sealed with dum-dum (3 M
                        black rope caulk).  I used Hush Mat on the
                        inside of my foot well.  I put the Hush Mat all
                        across the top of the inside of the firewall
                        where that strip of tar paper is applied and I
                        also covered the air box that goes across the
                        inside of the firewall.<br>
                        <br>
                         I eliminated the two piece metal tunnel and
                        tunnel extension and used a BJ8 fiberglass
                        tunnel which makes a really good seal in that
                        area. Finally, I put side vents in my fenders
                        that allows the heat to flow out and eliminates
                        that high pressure area in the transmission
                        tunnel.  I have no insulation, inside or out,
                        and no carpeting  on my BJ8 tunnel.  It gets
                        fairly warm on hot days but it does not get hot.<span
