So far there is no "off the shelf" pedal extender for the 68-75 brake pedal
sized accel pedal.  

Modifying the original is pretty straightforward, but I've never had the
gumption to do it.

The later pedal is a nice shape, but won't interchange, so probably not a
bad thought to duplicate the shape.

Funny, I had a guy ask the same question yesterday for his 1969 MGB. >>

While talking pedals, does anyone have a solution for the lack of a "dead 
pedal," or left footrest, in the B?  My '59 MGA had a lovely place to prop up 
your foot, and my '00 Mustang has one, too.  Not only is it more comfortable 
to ride for a long time with a proper footrest, but in cornering it gives you 
something solid with which to brace yourself.  I guess I could cobble one 
together out of plywood and such, but it always seemed like such an obvious 
aftermarket improvement I kept thinking someone would build one out of light 
but strong metal that would pop-rivet in.  Any clues?
