Hi,
I've been away from the forum the last two weeks, I was in France visiting family, friends (and work). I'm very glad Arfon is building "my" pedal box, it is the third one!
Arf, your pedals look great and I like the brass top hat bushes. It looks like you're actually having a lot of fun with your new toys! Looking forward to see the finished pedal box
For those who are interested in this design, I'm very happy to share it, and construction guide and drawings are available here in one pdf document:

If you want to see how I built the pedal box and how it looks when finished, you can have a look at my blog here:

Deanno (who unfortunately had to sell his car since) used this design too, and replaced the welded M6 nut holding the forward stop bolts with M6 tapped 3mm plate. Looks tougher:

JPS, the back plate of my design has the same dimensions as the one from the book, and this pedal box will fit exactly in the same way. You can check in the guide linked above.
I don't say this design is better than the one from the book, it is just different and allows to use leftovers of round and square section tubes from the chassis, avoiding to cut the uneasy shapes of the pedal shafts (or the need to laser cut or buy them), using 5mm plates (as the 3mm plates are too weak for a pedal shaft, it has been said many times on this forum).
Any question, do not hesitate to send me a PM.
Thanks!
