My Left Foot

[mccaffs]

Why when it is resting on space provided is it also in contact with exposed moving steering column and should I put grease on the end of my shoe?

Hmmm ... haven't noticed mine doing that but I do wish there was more space between brake pedal and accelerator ... sometimes feels like me foot is gonna get wedged whilst trying to step on the gas

Ever heard of heel and toe? That's why brake and gas should be close together.

Yeah, strangely someone who drove my car complained of the same problem, I think just repositioning your foot slightly is the easy answer !

Happened to me too both in my MCS and used to be in my Cooper too. I only have size 8 feet
I also sometimes get the lever of the brake touching the toes of my left foot if I declutch but not press the brake
What's happening is that I'm not using the very top of my feet to operate the pedals. It's more midway down hence my toes touching things.
I think it's due to the fact that although you can have the seat in a very low sporty position, the pedals are more set up for an upright position, which I have now adopted to combat this problem.
The "angle of attack" on the pedals required is not quite right for the nature of the car IMO. You seem to have to come at them more from above rather then from the side
