Default Bonzo's Box

Hi all
I've been in discussion with Ronnie about his mod to the pedal box, that allows the master cylider to assume the same angle as in the Sierra. I've suggested the following refinement (see attachment). It seems appropriate to call it Bonzo's Box in referrence to his liking of Test matches (or least having an excuse to be idle for four days). Before Ronnie goes mad with a slitting disc and cuts up his pedal box, I thought I'd put a copy out for comments.

Smile Well done Trif

I do like that idea Trif

In my own humble view, I feel that the angled plate will act as a stiffener for the pedal box.

Nicely drawn mate

Very interesting!

If you don't mind me saying! it looks like you may need to up the pin for the push rod, to help the alignment.

hope you don't find me cheeky.

Well spotted, what I'm hoping to do is to move the master cylinder up a few mm I'm going to mock it up at the weekend and work out the position.
