How I Hate that Clutch Pedal

[Guanock]

I have a 2018 K9 and absolutely hate the clutch pedal position.
If I place my right foot (size 9 work shoe) squarely on the brake pedal, I have not got enough room to place my left foot on the clutch pedal???
Citroen, have in their wisdom, decided to crank the clutch pedal to the right, bringing it too close to the brake pedal. Why? I have no idea, as if it was a straight pedal it would be in just the right position, as there is a plenty of room to the left to park my foot. The pedal is plastic, so no chance of bending it into a better position.
I noticed when I bought the car with only 18k on the clock, that the pedal rubber was worn drastically on the left hand edge. Well it would be, as that is the only part of the pedal that the left foot can reach.
Enough of my complaining, anyone know if I can get a 'straight' pedal or offer any other remedy?

well, you could take the pedal off, get a decent blow torch, when the metal glows red, you could bend into a more comfortable position....

Hi
That would have been easy but the pedal is made of plastic.

Take the pedal off and 3D print a better one. Only joking though, I doubt the 3D printed plastic will sustain the pressure. I certainly feel your pain with my size 11 feet. The pedals in my M59 are extremely close to one another.

On my C15 M49 and M59's I've always removed and bent pedals with success ...

but plastic !!!! scary stuff ...............

I feel you. Don't have a clutch but the brake pedal stem gets in the way of my size 13 shoe. The angle is way too upwards.

Thanks for your replies, as it appears I am not alone.
If they had just left the pedal straight without the crank, it would be fine.
Why do small cars have small pedals and big cars have large pedals? Never did understand that!

Strange, I have no issues with my size 14 feet.

My only issue is having to keep pressing the clutch in traffic - thats why I've ordered an automatic for the next one.

Could it be a Left hand drive pedal stuck into a right hand drive car for cost or makers convenience

O.K. never thought of that, what about a bowl of bloody hot water, then massage the arm how you want it.. it works on toothbrushes...
