The only real discomfort I get in my Morgan is my left ankle on long trips. I've never really found a comfortable rest for it.
PJB very kindly sent me a template for the rather neat clutch rest he has fitted to his car and I've just made up the first protoype for my 4/4. It's constructed from 1.5mm alloy and hand beaten into shape in the best traditions of MMC! I have louvres a miss as I have enough of those
The design is quite neat, the front of the rest is angled inwards to the transmission tunnel to prevent the clutch pedal or shoe catching it and there is just enough area to rest the edge of the foot. It is attached to the floor with a couple of screws and reinforcing washers. The only mods I've made to Peter's design is to shape the foot rest area slightly differently to match my tunnel and shape a return around all the edges abutting the tunnel to avoid any damage to the leather.
I'll post a picture of the template if Peter has no objections.
In a Laural & Hardy voice..."Thats another fine job you've got me into!"
I have thought about that for a while and this is the inspiration I needed.
Many thanks
OMG....the jobs on the Morgan just never end do they?!.......I'm gunna just have to do this one. Up till now I've always worn very slim, light-weight Diesel sneakers/shoes and rested my left foot, slightly rotated anti-clockwise, between clutch and break.
During my recent upgrade to telescopic shocks for the 4 seater, I already decided to alter the position of the brake pipe that is concealed by the shock cover, and also the cover itself. This will allow me to gain an extra 2 -3 inches ( fantastic for my 6' 3" frame ) of rearward movement of the seat( with modification of the mechanism ).
In combo with the left foot rest this will be superb
