Make sure the contour of the dash to the left of the steering wheel follows the shape of the vertical chassis tubes as closely as possible.

If possible moving the seat back a little will help.

I built mine with the steering wheel/shaft higher than most and have plenty of room. Maybe look at lifting the steering wheel or if it was built with a tilting column it could be set low.

on both my 2b and the zero i moved the steering column up and out as far as i could which also included some modification with the dash as these has been cut to fit the previous position. You would need to bush the column on its mounting to move it out.

Im 6'3" and managed with both models.

I made the foot well as tight as possible to the gearbox bell housing. (probably too late for you) 

Also have the adjustable steering column , high set for getting in & low if on a long trip, steering wheel is as supplied by RH, 13/14" I think. 

Can get my foot down along side the clutch pedal O.K & I'm 6 foot.

Could also move the throttle pedal to be in the space between inner edge of chassis tube & outer body panel, this would give ( maybe) the option of moving the brake & clutch pedals to the right by an 1" or so.

OR go automatic !!!!
