Hi List, 
After a lot of though I decided against modifying the pedal box  (moving 
the pivot) and went with modifying the pedals, actually just the clutch  
pedal, instead. 
I now have the seat 1.75" further back which is absolutely as far  back as 
it goes (it's a thin racing seat).  So I consequently have 1.75" more arm 
reach but not yet  straight arms (with a steering column already shortened by 
1.0" and a flat  steering wheel). 
What I did in the end was increase the length of the clutch pedal  
(directly under the pad) though ideally it needs to be a bit longer  still.  
For the 
brake pedal I simply swapped  the standard 1969 pedal for a 1500 Midget 
brake pedal which I already knew sat a  lot higher. 
For the throttle pedal I swapped back to my less shortened 15   Midget 
pedal that I had in a few years ago. 
I'm sure we'd all like an extra 1.75"(!) and certainly the car does feel  a 
lot more comfortable and I even notice the difference when getting in and  
out.
 
So, job done apart from eventually lengthening another 69 clutch  pedal.
