Hey tall guys,

Here's what worked for me (6-2) and my brother (6-7) . We put in the
adjustable rudder pedal option. Rather than installing the subfloor as
per the manual, we put in a subfloor just wide enough to mount the
adjustable pedal assembly. We put this subfloor absoutley as low as
possible and extended it only as far back as was necessary to mount the
pedal assembly. At the aft edge its height varies from about an inch at
the tunnel side to zero at the outboard side. Not only does it give you
more toe room, but by moving your feet lower it gives you more shin room
from the instrument panel. BTW, my wife (5-4) can reach the pedals
easily when moved to their aft adjustment. Even if I were never going to
change the pedal adjustment, I'd still put in the adjustable option just
to have more toe and shin room.
