Default Brake Pedal spacing from gas pedal

Has anyone modified the brake and clutch pedal to move both a bit more away from the gas pedal? Looking at the mounting. it looks as though offset tabs from center would help.

I took this photo which shows how the prdals are mounted. I was thinking about fabricating a set in which they were off center. This would move pedals about a 3/4".

Ya, "Heel & toe" and pointy driving shoes will help. My feet are like trained dogs, they rarely miss the right pedal.
Harrrr!

You can mount existing pedal so it is left or right of the pedal shaft (not centered). That's a quick way.

Cashburn, My concern about mounting the pedals as you suggested would not allow tab touching the shaft to be tight enough. With the 2 tabs you are pulling them together against it. If one has wide feet, the stock arrangement of the pedals is not good. Ron
