Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Heard horror stories about them flexing loads.

It seems well made, not sure how itd go with some hard breaking.
And from what ive read about them having issues its mainly the home installer thats messed it up.
Things like not cutting the excess thread off the master cylinder pistons down. The other thing i intend to do is brace it to the firewall, the obp instructions just say bolt it to the sheet metal under the dashboard.

Your KAD one not cutting it mate? Or are you freeing up some room?

Only heard bad things, I wouldn't buy one.

ive seen the clutch peddle bend by not pushing it in a totally straight line, the brake peddle looks the same and in that split life or death second, pushing the brake peddle in a straight line is the last thing i want to think about

and thats just my 2p worth :)

Yes i moved to the darkside

Well it looks Like i will give it a miss then, its just one has come about at a good price.

If its cheap enough, you could always use the cylinders etc from it, then mod them to fit a mini box?

They look abit like the one merlin sell but thinner, they do some floor and dash mounted pedal boxes for good money, not sure if there the lightest but look nice

scratch that the same ones but cheaper?

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

there is a new reversed "pro" series floor mount out, looks pretty good but could be shite as some of the other stuff they sell

wilwood, tilton, south west speed hanging pedals, they have reversed master versions "cockpit fit"
by memory 6:1 ratio is what you want

when i looked at this a while ago i almost buyed a side adjustable wilwood box, very trick and cheap too

internationally known as "big" swede

I have that. or the other version of it (340-3342) can find it okay up till now at least

miniminor63 do you have any pics of the wilwood pedal assembly fitted?

cheers Mark

and any advice on what master cylinders to get? not really clued up on pedal boxes :$ just looking to get rid of the ugly clutch and brake masters out of the engine bay!

My friends got one and just welded a few gussets on and it's been fine, clutch pedel bending is a bit worrying tho

Avon 2010 class c 3rd
Avon 2011 class c 2nd 13.8 @ 98mph

Mark let me know if you are selling your old setup.

The willwood pedals "cant" bend. They are cast in aluminium... so are sturdy.

Thanks for the picture. Do you think it would fit ok with the standard steering column?

bit unsure. It could, but I wont guarantee it. Not difficult to make one without the outer tube if not though?
