Has anyone got tips on where to get the bushes, crush tube and the 'outer' tube for the book spec pedals from? Or some appropriate alternatives?

Most tubing I see for sale is in lengths rather longer than I would want given the brake, clutch and accelerator pedals must only use about 80mm in total...!

I may have a spare set I never used. If you can hold on till tomorrow i can check in the garage. Cover postage and you can have them if they are the right bits :)

If you have done the rear part of your chassis as in the book, with the 2 round tubes RP1 and RP2, you should have 19mm round tube leftovers. I used these to make the bush-tubes of my pedals.
Then I carved the bushes in a Teflon rod (would have been better to turn them with a lathe, but I had no possibilities to do so)
See beginning of this post (http://vouchtroadster.blogspot.fr/2012/06/pedalier2-pedal-box2.html) on my blog.
