Imagine this scenario!
John that looks good for you but imagine your heels resting 2 inches higher and then extending your leg all the way to the firewall and your toe would naturally move forward of your heel. Flightline interior carpet would lift your heel up to this height.

Apparently - you have not been paying close attention - - -
That is my "HEATER DAMPER DOOR" control. Go back thru the search if interested. Yesterday it was 27F in Iowa, and the heater works great. Nice of you to notice ! !

cheap carpet
Be wary John. I did the same, bought some cheap synthetic carpet, cut it to fit and it looked great. Got to thinking about fire safety so I cut a sliver off the edge of some scrap, hung it on a wire and lit it. A tiny flame became an 8 inch torch in seconds, with drips of burning molten plastic falling to the ground.
Out went the carpet. I cut the supplied wing walk adhesive material into 4 strips and fixed it to the painted metal floor. I think it looks fine (echos the foot pads up a level) and is easy to clean.

Good point Rod - -
Have some left over to trial burn. Maybe a thin rubber mat of sorts might be less flammable.

Question..
Would anyone be able to tell me how much gap there is between the back of the rudder pedal and the firewall when the rudder is fully deflected?
Thanks in advance.
