Roll bar / Pedal Box
Yesterday, while at the gurston hillclimb practice weekend I bumped into an MSA scrutineer, so, I asked him what were the most common problems on 7
type cars.
1. Helmet 2 inches bellow top of roll bar
2. Seal pedal box (as he was a locost builder himself he could tell me how difficult it was)
Hope this will help people planning on entering a hillclimb (or any other race) get through the scrutineering.

Helmet 2 inches below rollbar, what is the tip here ?
Seal pedal box, what do you meen ?
By the way, "running into" a scrutineer will not help you. Was he hurt ?

from the point of a msa scrutineer
look in the msa blue book for roll cages on opentops you will see there is a min distance for top of helmet and top of roll bar
point 2
the passenger area must be totally isolate(sealed) from the engine compartment- alot of people have the accelerator open on the scuttle area and will
fail.
ps i had my foot run over by a compeditor not paying attention suffice to say he failed scruteneering first time
