Dead pedal

I'm thinking of bolting a small shelf to the side of the foot well or the floor so there is somewhere to rest the foot against, but then it's important that it is not in the way when operating the clutch.

Thougts?

This is an area of the build that I am going to attack. There is plenty of room in the gear tunnel to extend the space around the pedals. The tinwork adjacent could easily in some cases go into the tunnel 100mm at pedal height which would make a good pedal rest .
