Default pedal extensions for short people?

At nearly 5'11" I'm not short but I do have long arms for my size. I wish to sit back further and still fully engage the clutch. In searching the web I either find extensions for heel & toe to bring the throttle & brake closer together and I find some major hardware for disabled or very short people. Has anyone found something that just builds the pedals up an inch or two?

I was watching Motorweek only a couple of weeks ago and that guy "Pat Goss" showed some commercially made pedal extensions for those who needed the pedals to be brought up closer to the driver. Sorry, I cannot remember who makes them, but you can find Motorweek's website and send Goss an email and ask him.

I'm much shorter than your kids attending preschool and I have no need for pedal extensions. I wear size 10EE New Balance shoes and it's too easy to H&T.

My problem is reaching the pedals, but glueing bricks to my soles did the trick!

xviper, I saw the same show and that's what got me thinking about it; however, those were very crappy appearing examples he showed; almost like taping a brick to one's New Balance shoes.

Here's some sites I've found so far...
