Bias Pedal boxes
RogerM - 20/2/05 at 02:02 PM

Anybody found any useful /easy to modify bias pedal boxes for use in a Locost type chassis?

I would much prefer a pendulum style pedal box as I feel the footwell is too small to provide comfortable placement of the left foot when not on the clutch.

Cheers in advance

Why do you want a bias pedal box?

Why not buy a balance bar and then make a pedal box to go with it. Any comercial pedal box with bias brakes will be v.expensive (or at least not Locost)

There are many treads anout making pebal boxs on this forum, just do a search.

I am looking for a bias pedal box as I will be using the car for both road and track and also I am likely to replace the cast-iron 2 pots for some ally 4-pots next winter.

To be fair I am looking for so rear facing master cylinders with remote resoviors as I am trying to keep all the oilly bits well hiden, you should see the lengths I am going to to have minimal visable fasterners!

So, any ideas?

I had thought about making my own pedal box, it's not hard afterall.

I am just in a bit of a hurry and anythign that speeds the build up without harming quality is a blessing.

When I have made pedal boxes in the past I have always taken great care to avoid any welds between the bottom of the pedal and the master cylinder linkage ..... my health insurance isn't as good as it should be. That is the other point of getting a pre-made box, somebody of my misses to sue for funeral costs
