when they dont have them on show its because they run a pedal box, im doing this on mine. (just dont look at the price of them )

a cheaper option is to run AP racing master cylinders of the right bore for brake and clutch, or run a kad bias pedal box. i think these set ups would be do able for 2-300 quid

have a look in demon tweeks and that should give you an idea of whats available.

Thanks mate, yer i did look bt there all so useless as ive gt the 06 motorsport catalogue (bugger ) and when you say pedal box you mean floor mounted box???? please may i have a link or some pictures of this set up plz as i am greatly intrested in this ( im a bit weird and like to be differant)

[andywaller]

unfortunately i cant as i am going to be machining my own one from billet, but to give you an idea i will be looking at the best to get ideas so have a look at the tilton ones, watch out they are about 1k for a proper floor mounted one by the time you get all the linkages and bias adjuster ect.

[MINIMON]

yeri am probably going to have be making my own too (spoke to my uncle and he now knows how to repay me for the bonnet and boootlid) another great thing is with him is hes a engineer to most things at times so has a laithe and other useful machines nocking about his shed thanks for that though mate

ok make sure you do some research into the leverage ratios used in pedal boxes as if you dont use the right ratio and master cylider bore you will end up with problems

I was away when this thread started and Im still getting my sh*t together and getting back to working on my pickup/rust bucket..


I must say I am inspired by your work, as it was put before most young people are out getting ASBO's (my town was one of the first to get one....). Keep up the good work. I think after reading this I'll be In the garage alot more....

Mr Benn


PS what attachment are you using to clear the paint off on the inside? Im trying many things as Nitro mors is useless when your car has as many layers of paint as mine does....
