Hi all.
Very funny about the screw. I actually considered changing the pic until I realised how *rec of the tum* that would be as the
pedal is still a prototype. Ive still not got round to mounting the throttle pedal in the car yet, so
I couldnt really make any to sell and guarantee it to work im afraid. Im pretty sure im going to have to
modify the bulkhead slightly so the throttle cable can go through in a different place than the stock item.
Ive also got to make a nice solid mounting bracket of some description.

Radleigh I did slightly dress *cough* the wheel arch turrets with a large mallet when I originally fitted my old spax setup
a few years ago, its amazing how much room you can make with 10 minutes hard work. Now ive fitted
the protech shocks they seem to fit nicely, with no signs of them getting close to the turrets. Was glad as I didnt want
to start beating my newly painted underbody.

Rich40 in regards to the bootfloor contact the Carbon Weezel via email or phone, all the details are on there website
(click the link in my signature to go to the website). Im sure they would be more than happy to make you a bootfloor
the same as the one im using.

I'm finding it a bit worrying how much I like looking at the pictures in this thread.

I LOVE that carbon rocker cover. If you were to consider selling those I'd strongly consider having one, but I do understand that it's items like that which make or break how special a project like this can become and understand that keeping them one off can be important.

Keep it up.

I dont know about the weber box as i wanted mine to be a specific size so didnt look...but you could probably get
hold of some brace bars, only problem youll face is making them fix to the subframe. and bulkhead...I had to weld
some fixing points to the bulkhead and make some fiddly bracketry to attach it to the subframe...Not a simple bolt on
setup im afraid...
Good luck...

Would love to test it on the track at some point this year, but running in and initial setup is looking like itll take a while...
Having everything adjustable means allot of tweaking will be needed...Couldnt
say a date but aiming for the summer months...
