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.

Only snag with twin cylinders and bias bar is IVA want it locked permanently so you can't fiddle with it...may as well use the Sierra one then change after IVA

may i use this thread to ask what might possibly be a really dumb question, but alas i,d like to know the answer as i,m probably too dim to work it out for myself

i,ve spent the day making my pedal box & as you do whilst filing, the mind tends to ponder on what i,m actually trying to make......

the question is "Why does the pedal box backplate need to be seperate from plate CP16?"
i understand the need might be to allow the removal of the pedal box or to allow the fabrication process easier but why not make the pedal box & CP16 as one piece? for the 1 piece to be bolted to the chassis so that removal for repair etc is still possible, also if this is feasible then the steering column support in CP16 could be adapted to allow removal of pedal box without needing to strip down the steering column.
your thoughts are welcomed....... or should i shut up & just build to the book plans???
cheers
andy

Hi Andy.

It's never a dumb question if you don't know the answer.

i would think the reason it's 2 piece is weight.
If you made it all with 3mm plate it would be a bit heavy.
Cp16 is only 1mm if memory serves me correct.
