im euro styling my engine bay i have cut out my bulkhead and smoothed seams and weilds still currently doing it but i have removed the nova servo on was planning on using a corsa servo were battery used to be.

but then i found out that i could get a floor mounted pedal box so i wouldnt need a servo and can have 1 thing less in my engine bay any one have any opinions on this, or any experience with floor mounted pedal boxes.

heres a few pics to show you wot im up to

Pedal box matey, it will be tidier and will give you better breaking also.

OBP do ones which are "direct fit" into the Nova floorpan, so I imagine very little fabrication and fitting work is required. They provide much better control over the braking force and bias, but obviously you have no servo assistance so more effort is required.

I'm liking what you are doing there mate, can't wait to see it finished :)

Sorry but I think that having the outside brown and the engine bay beige will look wrong

Totally agree with you there mate. Love contrasting bays, especially in JDM cars

i think using beige and brown will work but if you stick to brown that will look even lusher. I personly go all brown will make the engine bay look really tidy :)
