Default Drop Pedal for Leg Length Discrepancy.

A friend with a significant leg length discrepancy (due to fused ankle,
etc.) uses a drop-pedal to compensate that her husband designed and had
fabricated. It recently broke and the design was such that it isn't
repairable. Anyone know of a source for a commercial product?

Pedal blocks are a very old answer (available, cheap or
easily fabricated) but are of course not helpful for
toeclips or clip-in formats.

The TA Orthopaedic Pedal was the deluxe version:

TA pedal cage sets came in various heights.

Generally the height adjustment should be 1/2 the leg length
discrepancy.

If by drop-pedal you mean something like AX DynaDrive, I
have no suggestions other than the originals.
