Have you ever hit the fuse box with your shoe?

[sevilla]

In my L3830DT the fuse box is located on the right side of the clutch pedal. It is so close to it that often, when I drive backward and tend to rotate my foot toward the left, I hit it with my shoe. A couple of times I've bent it and had to straiten it. The box itself is attached by a very weak metal plate which I'm afraid to break.
Anybody had this problem? I'm thinking to attach (weld?) a metal shield plate to the pedal shaft in order to prevent the shoe to hit the box. Any possible solution?

Go barefoot?

Indeed I did. It was too painful to continue.
