Front seat clearance question

[Brannon West]

Hi, a couple of my passengers are of the wider variety. My plane has toe brakes, so these passengers are sort of sitting on my pedals. It makes for some interesting take-offs and landings, because when I apply a rudder, the opposite pedal moves aft, and with a passenger sitting on the pedals, it causes the opposite toe brake to be applied. I’m needing ideas for creating some clearance by maybe raising the seat, etc. but I’d rather not have a passenger that is head and shoulders above the windscreen. Any ideas are appreciated.
