Builders, I'm planning the placement of the crew (pilot/co-pilot) 
floorboards for my IV-P project.  The placement (height and length) is 
at the builder's discretion.  Anyone have recommendations or 
considerations as to the dimensions and placement?  Should I just check 
my shoe size for fit with the rudder pedals for the height?  Is there an 
advantage to extending the aft portion of the floorboards to the 
instrument panel station to hide the lines that extend from the 
centerline tunnel?

More detail:
I intend to make both sides removable as I will have brake lines under 
the pilot side as well as the fuel line under the co-pilot side.  I also 
plan to support the floorboards with a flange around the perimeter.  
(Thanks to photos provided by Bob Pastusek.)  I'm also planning on 
putting the small auxiliary battery (24V, two alt, two battery system) 
on the aft face of the pilot side firewall, under or at the floorboards.
