New Pedal Box

[voucht]

Thank you for the comment Andy, very nice to hear, especially from you
TT, yes, I'm all for Open Source softwares and I'm a big defender of them (I used Blender 3D and Inkscape to draw the pedal box), and I like this conception applied to the Roadster. So yes, of course I'll share the design (if people are interested ?). I'll prepare a file with all the specs of the pedal box, and we'll see with you guys and the moderators if we put it in the amendments section, as I think it is more than an amendment because all the dimensions change with the straight pedal arms.
Ah ah ah Kev, yes, heavy duty Terminator thingy : you can drive it with your Steel Toe Dr Marteens shoes ! Thanks mate

Hi there this looks good, this solves the problem that i faced which was cutting the 5mm plates for the pedals neatly without the use of heavy machinery

Brilliant piece of work and "recycling",I wonder that no one has used one piece of plate for the whole pedal box and column mount.

Hi,
I finally finished the construction guide of the pedal box with explanations, all measurements and so on. It is for now available for free download on Google document at this link:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-i...WdrUEhtZjZHalk

1:1 scaled svg and pdf files are available on request by email.

I want to apology for my English in the guide, you know I'm French...
If anyone wants to help me tu put it in a better English, I can send the text files for correction and reintegrate them in the guide.

Thank you
Sylvain

Hi,
Just a conclusion to this thread by showing pictures of the finished Pedal-Box, with master cylinder installed, panted and with 3M anti-slide tape (sorry, I don't know if it is the proper word) on the clutch and brake pedal foot pads as it is compulsory here, in Sweden.

I'm not happy with the result of the painting (glossy black Hammerite), as you see the brush marks, and it easily makes drops. But it is done now, and the Pedal-Box will not be the most visible part of the car

But the 3M tape is outstanding

My Pedal box all done just waiting to get the master cylinder and thenget it painted.

One item i have changed is the M6 nut welded on the bottom of each pedal, I used 25 x 25 x 6mm plate rounded off and tapped an M6 hole as the nuts were melting through. plus it gave me a bit more room for a lock nut.

Cheers again for the drawing.

Sounds like a very good option
Could you post pictures of it when it is finished? I'd really like to see how it looks.
Thank you.
