What I did on mine was built the front of the foot pedal up about 3/4″ using two rectangle pieces of cutting board material. It will never rot, you can cut them small enough as to not show, and it will take the hard bend out of the steering cable. Also right under the steering cable should be a phillips head tension screw. You can tighten that screw to take slack out of the pedal if any develops over time. Without the foot pedal being elevated like Im talking about, you have to take the plug out. Not a big deal, hopefully just a helpful hint.
