Some people like having the brake pedal down there with the rudder pedals and some don't. Some turn the pedal upside down to help get it out of the way. On the Ercoupe I had at one time with pedals the brake pedal was cut off behind the floor board and I just used the hand brake. It worked fine for me that way. Welcome to the Coupe world.
