Pedals!
Has anyone used these pedals:
http://www.nfauto.co.uk/pedal_box.htm
Im thinking whether they would be cool for use in a BEC?
Can anyone help with the brake ratios on the pedal? How do you work these out? Im running granada front calipers and sierra discs!

I'm building an MK and they use a floor mounted pedal system. Your welcome to come over and have a look for inspiration.
Although having read Rorty's comments on floor mounted pedals and gravel, I'm going to shorten the lower sections.
Cheers

we use these
the benefits are if you are vertically challenged like myself 
then you can move the hole pedal assembly back towards you so you can get the arm to leg ratio comfortable

I have fitted them in my Avon for the opposite reason.
Being 6ft, they give me more legroom than the Sierra pedal assembly which is normally fitted.
Lightning uses this pedal box in his blade powered Avon with no problems I know of and he is 6' 4" tall!

Erwe!!! Woah! They're beautiful! Are these an Erwe-made item? If only I could cut metal and made it look like it grew that way from the
tree...
On a different note - how do you work out the pedal ratio then?
Its a BEC so its gonna be light but where do I factor in size of me calipers and stuff liek that to work out me master cylinder sizes? Me and Liam are
both a bit stuck here!

I can sell them in different stages, as a kit (unwelded) about 140 euro (90 pounds)
welded incl nylon bushes 180 euro (120pound) or welded with alu plates 196 euro (130pound)
The balance bar is from Ralley design (20 pounds)
I have to send it from the Netherlands, i can look up that price if you are interested, drop me a mail at sevennl@hotmail.com

To work out cylinders, look for posts by MikeP - search "master cylinders|" he has a great spreadsheet to do that
