Another view to show how the drivers foot fits in.
Size 10 shoe and it's sitting about 2" too far up on the gas pedal.

You can tell where the heel usually goes by the worn spot in the carpet.

The different colored carpet is due to swapping shifters.
It was cut from the same roll the original carpet was, but after six years or so the original stuff had faded.

I had to make a plywood ring to adapt the shifter/carpet finish ring.

One small word of advice if you're running a Gennie Shifter - don't let the upholstery guy glue the stainless carpet trim ring and boot to the carpet.
Trouble with that is, you may have to access the Gennie Shifter to make a friction adjustment.

When you get the Gennie Shifter the friction adjustment - that stops the shifter from moving too easily - feels about right.
A few hundred miles down the road it will be looser.

If I did another one of these I would increase the friction a little tighter right off the bat and then after the wear in period it would be about right.
