Ditto on the sanding block. I used some heavy duty rubber bands to attach it. I cut them from an old motorcycle inner tube. It brings the contact point closer to the driver, but not quite as much as the block of wood.

I was at Brownwood Golf Cart store about 6 months ago and saw a pedal on the counter. It appeared to be a gas pedal extender that was shaped like a metal foot (similar to the old hot rod gas pedals) and extending a couple inches... I didn't investigate at the time, but might be worth looking into. It appeared to be something that screwed to the pedal, but could be made portable / detachable.

I saw that also. It appears to be more of a permanent install device though, so won't be practical.

Block on PEDAL
 
[QUOTE=VillageIdiots;1541118]The guy I bought my cart from

How about this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, get some scrap Styrofoam, left at the curb sides for pickup, then use two very large cable ties available from electric supply or from Home Depot?
Just a suggestion. Styro foam may be available form the Furniture stores too. A lot of it comes with TV sets.

Hope this helps.

The cart we bought has the seats that adjust back and forth so we thought we could do without a block, but she thinks it would be handy to have one. Anyone know where I might be able to find one?

My wife used Small pillow behind her back, it moves her fwd enough to reach the peddles even with the set all the way fwd.
