Default pedal box solution (no ballance bar)

spoke to a nice chap at optimum ballance products today and yesterday who was very helpful.
i was looking for a workaround for the pedalbox for the roadster and have found a solution to pedelboxs off the shelf without ballance bars and using a cable clutch as well
single units is the answer buy using a singles pedal boxs to take a single master cyl style and fitting a tandem inline master cyl or modifying it to suit the sierra one hay presto . (iva man did point out there is no rule not to use a single master cyl for all wheels if i wished)
use a single cable pedal for the clutch and thay even do a throttle single as well
this way you could have what ever pedal spacing you like.

pt no. OBPCL46 for brake or OBP0046 (holes in pedal)
OBP0045 for cable clutch or above for hyd
OBP0048 for throttle
thease are all short type but long types are also avalable (bulkhead distence)

have to see how it goes when thay turn up

scrub that just found in the iva manual that a duel circuit must be used braking at least two wheels

makes me think as my sierra was piped up FR,FL+RL+RR
so would that be a fail then as one circuit only brakes one front wheel?

*update*
orderd parts arived and some of the parts where no what i had requested sadly

the short single master cyl unit was sterdy with proper bushes could easly be adapted to exept the std sierra master cyl and the clutch pedel i had arive was a long type and was too big and a short was what i needed as its the same dimention as the master cyl that would be ok to
the throttle unit is too long but could be adapted but i was hopeing not to have to
cut a long story short i have returned my order as im thinking of going for a complete box
