If anyone is interested here is a Foot rest out of the 2005 Troopy.
I had a request to do it for a member that has an older Troopy that does not have the rest.

not sure what you could make it out of, I would make it out of steel as a boilermaker

You'll need a good aim for the clutch pedal with that one.
I have used a different solution for many years now, its just a wooden wedge (tapered across the sole NOT lengthwise) that is affixed to the floor right next to the transmission housing. It supports the foot so that the knee leans toward the gear stick which I find is very comfortable on long drives. I put a non slip rubber on the top like on the above idea.
The troopy footwell was surely designed by some short legged Japanese engineer, anybody over 180cm tall will find there is really no room to stretch the left foot and my angled footrest seems to keep the left knee happy. The right knee is another matter, only since I installed the cruise control can I give it the occasional rest and do some toe wiggling exercise.
