    A few photos from yesterday, it fits a treat, and the driving position is so much better now. Obviously just trialling it at the moment.

    It's a very comprehensive kit, even includes spanners and allen keys;







    The floorpan of my Nova, showing the plate where the old floor mounted pedal box was located (this plate will get removed soon);



    New pedal box loosely in place (without mounting brackets at this stage);





    Very lightweight as well, it's going to save me over 2kg compared to the old pedal box;

    Been building up the pedal box today, lots of messing about as the pushrods on my master cylinders were too short for my new pedal box.

    Fortunately I had a selection of F1 alloy/titanium master cylinders in a drawer, so they have donated their titanium pushrods to the cause.

    Now I have to cut the pushrods down to size, mustn't get that wrong!

    The new pedal box is now ready to install, and I have some remote reservoirs for it to be mounted in the battery tray area;







    Just got the hoses to make up to feed the master cylinders now.

    And a rather nice 99p purchase from EBAY to round up;

    Some nice parts. I found that my push rods werent long enough either, but instead of replacing them cut them down a little, then used a threaded steel sleeve and some 5/16 treaded bar to lengthen them. Hopefully will work fine with a bit of locktite.

    That petal box is lovely. Can see what you've bought that one.
