Thanks for the tip - I'll look into it.  But part of my problem is that I'm 
6'3" and about 200 lb.
You might say it was foolish to get a Morgan in the first place, but I'm fairly 
flexible and I've had no problem, even with the top up, for the last 13 years 
(and my previous British car was a Bugeye Sprite).

It's this new wrinkle of avoiding leaning my knee on the shift extender that 
has me twisting into new positions.  My pedals are attached to the floor, so I 
don't fully understand the concept of getting a foot "under" them.
