Default MX5 Brake and clutch master cylinder hole centres.

I want to finish the main back plate on my pedal box at lunch time but i'm struggling to find the hole centers for the brake and clutch master cylinders.
I can always drill them later but while i have the opportunity i would rather punch them out as it gives a nice clean hole.

Has anyone possibly got either they could measure for me?

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy,

The backplate measurements are on page 27 of the build guide, this is for the mx5 brake cylinder and after market clutch cylinder. Any problems give us a ring although the car is not here at the moment to take measurements from. It's away at the auto electricians getting the wiring loom re made....

Hi Andy
Cheers for the reply. Its only the cylinder fixing hole centers i'm missing, i have done all the other holes from your guide plans. There is no rush though it can wait until i have got the parts to get the measurements from and ill drill them to suit.

Thanks again

Andy

Sorry to ask again but can anyone tell me the hole fixing centers of the brake and clutch cylinders.

I can get my pedal box powder coated f.o.c if i chuck it in with a load of stuff at work and it would be a shame to have to drill holes later.

Many thanks

Andy

Thanks for that. I have googled for ages without finding anything.

Just the brake left then now.

Thanks again
