Drawing of bias-brake footwell bulkhead?

Does anyone have a drawing of a bulkhead panel to take twin standard girling-type master cylinders as seen in the right hand side of the pic below?


Cheers!

Does it not depend whose pedal box you are going to use as there could be a bit of variation in the spacing? Just choose whose box you will use and then contact them to see if they have a drawing of the back panel of the box for you.

It's a very fair point you make - the pedals are from Matt @ Procomp, but the original bulkhead went welded with the chassis. The balance bar is the usual kit-car fodder (my MNR had the same one) and I think the OBP one is virtually the same, so I think (!) it's relatively standard or at least will still work fine even if it differs by a mm or three.

I could ask Matt but I know he's up to his eyes and what he produces for his cars probably won't be large enough for my giant footwell on the Gemini.

If you are at the design stage of the footwell - be careful how much room there is - I have an OBP pedal box, I also have moderate size 8 feet - now - I can drive it ok with my 'slip - ons' , but with either of my two pairs of trainers on, my clutch foot catches the brake pedal ! Most of my big-footed buddies can't drive it!

Don't worry - the footwell on the Gemini is massive and I'll be wearing NOMEX race boots! I'm probably going to move the pedals back too - in order to shift my short-arse 13-14st self backwards which makes the space even bigger again.





Thanks for your input though.

I get it. Do you want to buy some matching pedals?
