Hi guys, this might seem a bit pointless to a few people, but bare with me here...

 

I've already done a full smoothed and wire tucked engine bay on my car, but I'm giving the car a freshen up over the winter which will include a new makeover for the bay. While doing this, I'm very keen to take things a step further and hide the brake and clutch cylinders too by using one of those fancy hydraulic pedal assemblies. My only issue at the moment is that I can't seem to find anything that has just the brake and clutch pedal; everything seems to also include the accelerator pedal which I don't intend to change. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated, and if anyone has any alternative suggestions for hiding the brake/clutch cylinders, I'd love to hear them  :-)

 

Here is a pic of my engine bay just to give you an idea of where I'm going with this.

It'd need to be class 1 levers or "seesaw" style. They do one and did offer TMF discount. It comes with an accelerator pedal, I suspect the box would foul the original Mini "fast" pedal, but if it doesn't you could just leave theirs off and use the original.

Thanks! I suppose as long as I can retain the use of a cable throttle then I'm not too worried about which pedal I use. Do you happen to have a link?

After looking at the site Yeti linked, this looks like the most appropriate option. Quite pricey though!

Is this the company that offers TMF discount? 

 

Edit: I also cant find anything that mentions if I can still use a cable linkage for the throttle

Another option is to get a box that includes the Throttle Pedal and cut that away.

There are a few cars on here using Wilwood pedal boxes that are just brake and clutch. For example, this Minus: http://www.theminifo...51#entry3328373

Often used with a DSN throttle pedal!

I had considered that, but the 3 pedal assemblies are more expensive  :P

Thats great! Thanks for that! I'm guessing I would need to fabricate a bracket to make it fit? Can't be too hard I guess

I suspect so. Have a look at that thread (or some of the other Minus threads) to see how they did it (or maybe ask jonny f directly)

That was my original plan, but unfortunately none of the photos in that thread seem to work any more. I'll have a hunt about though. I've sent him a message on instagram so hopefully he can help me out :)
