Joe;
I don't know about 4/4's, but the petals on the Plus 4 are adjustable. I set
my Clutch petal back( toward me) about 2 inches more than the brake petal.
This allows me to fit my foot between the brake and clutch petal , with my
leg in a straight out position. I also shim the front of the seat bottom up
about a inch so my upper leg is supported by the cushion.
