Pedal box recommendations?
Nickp - 21/10/15 at 08:52 PM

I reckon I'm going to need a pedal box (hydraulic clutch) fairly soon for my Haynes so I can start running brake pipes etc in.

It came with a half built cable clutch one but I reckon it'll be easier / better just to get the right one than try and modify this one.

So, what's a decent value / quality one? Good / bad experiences?

Ta, Tilton kit looks good but is it going to bolt in nicely as there doesn't seem to be one with the 25mm cutout for the chassis rail?

Ta, OBP look decent and for an extra £60 I think I'd go for the Premium version.

So there seems to be-

Compbrake
OBP
Tilton (possibly)

Am I missing any?

If I go for the OBP Premium I can specify MC's of .625 .7 or .75
I'm using std Sierra disc brakes (single pot). Would a good starting point be .625 front .7 rear?
And as for the clutch? Go for the middle one, .7? Might have to ask the other guys that have used the M52 engine.

I went for OBP. I modified mine to fitand sent them a cheeky email saying "is my warranty OK?".

They engaged in the banter and were pretty positive about the mods I'd made. Off the back of it, they started wondering if a narrow pedal box for kit cars would be a flyer or not.

I like the pedal box and it suits my needs well. It mounts hard up against the bulkhead.

Thanks
