Marina pedal box

Post by **PAULJ** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 9:58 pm

Hi all, I have now fitted a marina pedal box and if anyone else has one on there car they will know that the strut across the bonet hits the master cylinder. Whats the best (looking) way to overcome this. I want it to look better than just putting a bridge in.
Cheers

Thaught about that but what do you do with the bonnet support? and wont it flex and crack the new paint

Probably. And you won't have anywhere to keep the spare spare wheel.

I had a pickup with a Marina pedal box. The prev owner had made a very neat bonnet cross piece using thin gauge box section (office furniture type material about 1 3/4" x 1/2" which was cut and shaped to clear the pedal box.
It was a neat job, but it did mean the bonnet stay was mounted about 4" higher than normal, so when opened the bonnet was 4" lower. The number of times I banged my head on it was beyond belief...

The previous owners of mine cut half the support and welded some extra material on above the remaining half
