Complete beginner.
Usually, in an automatic, there is a sloped bit to rest the leg you don't use. Fiat have left this on the passenger side and put nothing on the drivers side. I'm 5'1" so my legs are a tad too short. I've no problem with the pedals but my left leg gets really uncomfortable, I can put my foot flat on the floor but when I stretch my leg out there's nothing to support my foot.
I'm looking for a reasonably easy and safe solution. Ive looked at after market dead pedals but I think fitting one would be beyond me.

There is a foot rest there on the Fiat but it is too far away to rest your foot on comfortably.

I keep means to look at making a extention on my 3d printer just not got around to it yet. Not been a problem on previous Fiat's as they were LHD.

Yes, it’s miles away! The space where I could put something is a little bit tricky. If only they’d have moved the proper one from the passenger side.

Please excuse the bits of me in the pics.

On the VW T6.1 they have the same problem.

I think some have used a Volvo footrest.

The foot rest on the LHD just looks like they have just glad the wheel arch with a trim, hence it not being on RHD.
I’m sure it would be possible to make something, probably spaced of what there.
