I haven't got any more decent photos of the pedal box I'm afraid but I'll try to remember to take some next time I'm at the
workshop. It does look pretty good actually- it took about 3 iterations of the design to get something I am happy with. Like most of my designs, its
made from laser profiled plates tig welded together.
Cheers
Rob

Few more pics, bit of a wide boy now!!
 
Fuel tanks are nearly finished as well but will post pics when complete. I might even be able to weld ally to a respectable standard by the time
I've finished them

Do you have trustworty data that suggests decent airflow through the side radiator? I just ask because I'm facing a very similar situation, and
went with a tradition front radiator because I was worried about turbulent/reversing air flow along the sides of the car... Just wondering.

No, not really. When I finalise the body design I plan on doing some CFD work on it to make sure the airflow isn't doing anything silly.
I've got a freind who is an aerodynamicist for one of the F1 teams so I think I may get him to cast an eye over the design when I get to that
stage.
I did consider front mount it doesn't really fit with the rest of the design for the chassis and body. I want to minimise front overhang as much
as possible as well.

Hi
Honeycomb panel was supplied by Technical Resin Bonders and cost about £250 for a 8 x 4 sheet 1/2
inch core sheet.
The carbon/kevlar was from East Coast
Fibre Glass Supplies
