New components for the Roadster

[DRCorsa Engineering]

I don't see why you are so aggressive with me.
Anyway, i would like to get comments on the design of the pedalbox. If people like the design of the product i could make a pretty good offer/discount.
But i will not drop the quality level of the product.
There is simply no product with a double bellcrank system working of 4 quality Japanese ball bearings and rod ends, with throttle and clutch spring loaded pedals, with travel stop for both pedals at this price tag.
And there is no manufacturer willing to work with you to make the product to fill your personal requirements.
If this seems expensive to you then you are free to buy a OBP pedalbox. But if you buy an AP Racing or Tilton you will certainly not throw your money away. There is some reason why expensive products are expensive.

Hi there
your pedal box looks quite superb
in fact a lovely piece of engineering
unfortunately its priced above my budget and probably
a bit over specc... for my build
i wish you luck with your project and hope you find a market for it
it would more likely appeal to the high end kitcar builders
gt40./lola 70./cobras./caterham etc
perhaps get your product along to a show and visit some of the stands
cheers les g

Hardly aggressive, taking the pee, maybe, but not agressive at all

If you want comments on the design, you will have to do better than a couple of CAD renderings, one of each product, how are we supposed to see the design from those. Any pictures of the real thing or is this just an idea you've had?


As my learned friends have pointed out, stuff like your is well out of context on this forum, where people are not choosing to spend big bucks on components such as you are offering.

There are other, more suitable forums where people are choosing to make bigger budgets available but then I expect you will find they are being supplied with all the necessary bits by their kit manufacturers.

You've obviously got some good CAD skills, and should you choose to use those to create designs which are more appropriate I shall look forward to seeing them.

I appreciate all of your comments, although a bit aggressive.
I will take into account your suggestions. Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the forum

Like other members have said, your products look very nice , without doubt, a precision bit of engineering,

BUT

On a personal level the cost would be very prohibitive, with the general ethos of why most builders are building this car ( Roadster ), the "Book" gives a detailed drawing of how to make ones own pedal box that is functional & relatively inexpensive to make, or there are others suppliers that supply the completed item, but with all due respect, almost a third of the price of your part, without compromising quality & function of use etc.

In all honesty, the price of your pedal box would be 10% of my total "on the road" build cost, which I couldn,t justify on my build.

I wish you well with your venture but think you are targeting the wrong market with these products, after all , the book we all build from is titled "Build your own sports car on a budget" admittedly it doesn,t state a budget level but £299 for a pedal box is even more than the title of the original book by Ron Champion "Build a sports car for £250", ( I know that its nigh on impossible to achieve ) but hope you see the relevance of the quote.

cheers

It is expensive but i would be interested depending on how much a group buy would be?
And as for the ron champion book, who can build a sports car for £250?, what a load of shit.
I choose to build the haynes cause my mate started it first, not because it was the cheapest but because you can do it all yourself instead of having to buy the chassis.

I met some one a few days ago that has been given his chassis material, got his build table materials free from the yard next door, the jammy bugger even got a sierra donor FREE from his local council as it was abandoned.

Im new to this forum,infact im new to forums in general.
Ive been reading this thread and I cant believe the attiude to this bloke and his product.
Its the sort of attitude thats let our engineering industry in the narrow minded mess its in at the moment
My advice to you is ignore the troglodyte`s
