I have shortened the pedal pad arm. Just like Martin describes. Cutting off the pedal pad, shortening arm and welding pad back on does not affect the geometry, but be aware of travel as Carl says. (pedal hitting the floor). Tilt wheel and moving seat back really helps also.
FYI: Because of the curvature of some pedal pad arms, you may have to change the angle of pad when welding it back on to the shortened arm, so as to get the same attitude.
If you ever have troubles with brakes, use your ebrake. Keep the trigger pulled all the time and use it like a hand foot brake. This goes for any vehicle, old or new. If ebrake has a pedal and a lever. Hold lever and use pedal as a brake pedal. In other words, keep the ratchet dog pulled so it does not lock the brakes. You can drive home like that. It works in an emergency as a (wait for it)....... emergency brake!. As opposed to parking brake mode.
Don't need no stinking master cylinder. Drive it like a stagecoach!
