Hi all
has anyone got some suggestions as to a bottom mounted pedal box (as per race type pedal box)
Cheers

Mark,
I am fabricating floor mounted pedals because it will give me greater leverage and the pedal pad at the corect height for my foot, whereas before the
effort on a non servo'd system was too great, with a ratio of 1:3, should be 1:5 or 6, as I read on here somewhere.
I've got the Luego floor mounted pedals with twin master cylinders and bias bar, very well made etc, Car builder solutions (www.nfautos.co.uk)
also sell the same arrangement for £98 - not including the master cylinders which are about £35 each, if thats any help ?
If your after making your own, i've not got a clue !!

Just to point that master cylinder dia is very important when working ouy pedal ratios.
ALL cars with servos use a bigger dia master cylinder than those without --- the diiference in area is quite significant and this has a major effect
on pedal effort.
(Vaguely) related to this topic - I bought a ST rolling chassis with floor mounted pedals (look similar to the Luego ones) already fitted and master
cylinders attached. However, the brake pedal has no bush/insert so the threaded bar rattles around, and I can't see an easy way of taking it off
to fit a bush, assuming one is needed. Any ideas? Would I take the master cylinders off? If I do, can I safely unbolt the brake pipes and reconnect
them afterwards?
Also, how do you adjust the adjustable bias between front and back brakes? It looks pretty permanent and I have heard that you sometimes need to
adjust the bias for SVA
Hoping for some help...
Cheers
