Unfortunately, the brake pedal on mine depresses about 2 - 3 inches below the loud pedal and I can't roll my foot over to make this work.

The system has been bled and it helped a little but not much.

I have seen pedal extenders but they all looked like Rube Goldberg devices.

Has anyone here experienced that situation? If so, how did you resolve it?

Did I say something so stupid that it is not worth answering?
