Can front small floorboard be moved back to give a couple extra inches legroom?

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and has all their shopping done.

Question for when I take out the rudder kit this coming January during Annual. It looks like the small floorboard/footboard the pedals attach to can be moved back a few inches? I see at least 6 to 9 inches of room behind it before you get to the firewall. Has anyone ever moved that back before? Any weight and balance issues on doing that? I figure it'd be about 1 to 2 lbs max for the footboard and only moving it forward 2 - 3 inches.
