thanks for the reply, are the 6 bolts for the m/cylinders the main thing that holds it in place?
will let you know after the week end.....
im making it over the next few days....
cool keep us posted.
I made mine by giving my car to Pro Comp and then handing them some money.....
I'm also a dab hand at making curry, using a phone and £20
If you want a decent pedal box you can't beat 20 years of development

thought it was about keeping it locost???
and 20 years ago they had to start somewhere???
its only unsafe if you dont know or unsure what you are doing....if that s the case then fair play....
you could say the same with the steering components etc.....i just dont see the point in parting with your hard earned if you have the knowledge and
facilities to do it yourself.......
interesting that yours is intergrated as part of the chassis, and the design is simplistic and minimalistic......
nothing difficult there......
6 bolts through bulkhead and 2 x 8mm botls through floor pan with large washers to spread load

thanks big vee thats given me some idea,
my only problem is the bulk head is further away than that so i will have to bolt it through the floor with half a dozen bolts.
All pedal boxes are a compromise anyway unless designed for a specific set of calipers and master cylinders!
The procomp one looks nice, I like the use of oval tube on the pedals. I dont like the way they mount on the tops of the crossmember, I'd have
done them on the front unless youre really tall.
My box was bespoke and built to the specification (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specification_(technical_standard)) of my car and components
including master cylinder size and brake caliper piston size, the clutch ratio was developed through experience as was the accelerator ratio.
The picture is not of my car...
and yes I am tall and my car is 4" shorter than a Locost.
I'm just trying to give stuleah information about MY car......
