I guess I am even more of a cheapskate -- I got two pieces of 4x2 and made a simple T shape - width - the width of the footwell-length of the T is approx 10inches. I faced the ends with some spare leather so as not to chafe the upholstery. The benefit is that SWMBO has the footrest she wanted and anyone with longer legs also fits as their legs just go over the wings of the T down the footwell!! Simples!!!
