Default Cart accelerator peddle extender

I saw a man with what looked like an arched metal piece that appeared to slide over his gas peddle, (as wide and almost as tall as the peddle) to extend the range for a shorter driver.

I asked where he got it and he said someone in one of the villas makes them. I didn't have a cart then so I didn't get the name and address of the man that makes them. Does anyone know whom this is?

If not, who sell a gas peddle extender for my wife's short legs? The village golf cars does not sell them, I just checked.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't bought my cart yet but I checked out Carts and Clubs in Ocala on one of my visits. They have foot extenders for us vertically challenged people! He told me their extenders only fit Yamahas.

I struggled for a while sitting on the edge of the seat, but after a while my back got tired. I bought one of those pillow type things you can use in bed to sit up and read. It has a nice thick back and arm rests. It is very comfortable and boosts me up far enough to reach the pedal. I put it in the cart when I use it, and the hubs takes it out when he golfs. Easy-peasy... I think it was $20. I forget where, but they can be had at a lot of places...Walmart, Bed, Bath and Beyond, etc.
