nice explanation Ash, my original understanding was that the pedal box was bolted in so that it could be removed if need be, but i hardly think it ever will be,
today i made the back plate & pedal mounting plates, i have the 1mm cp16 cut ready but what i think i will do is use 3mm plate in place of cp16 so in effect as i,ve already cut the bottom plate i,ll join the 2 plates at the half way up position, similar to the 1mm plate join AND place a 25mm box tube at the joining face/edges on the inside of the footwell as that way i can fully weld the plates to box tube then fully weld the box tube to main chassis structure, this i think creates greater strength in the forward force of when you use the brake pedal hard & also greater structural strength in side impact of that footwell area.
would you agree?
