I made a mistake in assembling the pedal box and welding it all up before I offered up the master cylinder and only then realized i had to enlarge the hole to something like 29 mm.

The fact I had all the pedal brackets welded in place was a major pain when it can to holding the box on my mill and drilling the large hole.

It is only a suggestion that people specify the hole size to suit their master cylinder and for a few extra £'s you drill that for them, then weld it all up.

Just a thought.

I had to do the same, however I hadn't welded up before.
I tacked a bit of angle iron over the hole so I could centre the arbour for the holesaw then filled the original mounting holes with weld.

At the time I thought it was just me so didn't comment.

Sometimes i don't mind posting my build problems if it helps, but sometimes I think to myself DUH that was so stupid keep quiet.

It's all part of the game.

Learning curve that forgot to stop and turned into a circle more like.

The hole diameter was based on the parts we had, as with everything there seems to be more than one master cylinder size.

If people can post up their sizes here we can look at producing a "one size fits all" part.

We have Chris's drawings of the pedal box for the single seater, this features a twin master cylinder set up. I'll look into adapting this to fit the Roadster.

Kind regards

John.

You have just lost a few sales John, everyone will now want to hold out for the twin master cylinder now! Looks great what you have made.
