Alternative pedal box options ?

Post by **paulhumphries** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 5:14 pm

I've made my mind up in that I HATE the Minor underfloor master cylinder so please don't answer with "whats wrong with it ? " etc,
I want a bulkhead mounted pedal box with servo, dual circuits and hydraulic clutch.
Marina / Ital is obviously the standard choice for those who, like me, decide to change from the standard set up.
Anyone ideas for other pedal boxes that might be likely candidates for transplanting ?

Thanks.

I have seen kit cars with home made pedal boxes if you really want to put some time and effort into it...

Exactly

I'm going to have a look at local scrap yard tomorrow to see if there is anything suitable but doubt it.

BMW 2002 has a fantastically compact pedal box that could make for a neat install if you can find one.

You don't need to go to the trouble of fitting a new pedal box to your car if your after a better brake master cylinder & hydraulic clutch.
There's a dual circuit master cylinder available to replace the original & it's easy enough to hook up a servo.
Have a look here: http://members.ozemail.com.au/%7Eminort ... tiser.html

I've also fitted a clutch master cylinder on the inside edge of the chassis rail (next to the brake master cylinder) & both brake & clutch run from a remote reservoir (with split internals so one side can't drain the other).

I've just come back for a walk around the biggest local scrap yard.
Absolutley nothing that might be adaptable for a Minor

What was also surprising was how few cars (price of steel high ?) they had in stock and also how late the average registration (L/M reg) with loads of P/R reg
