Pedal box advice
Time to swap out my brakes because they are useless. I currently run M16 calipers on the front and sierra on the back. I have a single Ford master
cylinder and I run a servo. I have a cable operated clutch. The brake and clutch pedals are floor mounted and rubbish. The accelerator pedal is roof
mounted and ok. I'm looking to ditch the whole setup apart from the accelerator, so I'm thinking my choices are:
1. Go for another single master cylinder arrangement - maybe the 3ge pedal box and a Fiat 124 master cylinder?
2. Get a proper floor mounted, twin master cylinder pedal box with a bias bar
I favour the latter and there is not much in it price wise. Options that spring to mind are OBP or this one:

Anyone got any other suggestions or advice?
The other thing is my bulkhead is aluminium - so do I replace with steel or put some sort of brace in?
Any help appreciated.

That is a good pedal box but it will need to be mounted to a chassis rail. I think a steel panel might just do it though.
The bias bar if by far the better option as it gives you much more control.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Personally fitted the 3GE pedal box and really pleased, depends if you need the brake bias for track. Even then, you could put in a separate valve for
that.

I've got a floor mounted, cable clutch, balance bar pedal box sitting in a box somewhere - let me know if you're interested and I'll
dig it out and send you some photos.
