Pedal boxes

[Alex Hodgkinson]

Hello all,

We're currently building a Mazda RX-7 to race in the GT Cup and/or Britcar.

These cars are very small, so getting things to fit in the cockpit (let alone the driver) is a struggle. Having spent two days fitting the seat and electric power steering system correctly we're now looking at pedal boxes.
As the driver I have a total dislike of pedals which hang down, so we've been looking at floor mounted pedal boxes, all the time looking for a really short box (<150mm/6in)

I found these on the ap site which looked just the job;

Phoned up AP today and the chap on the other end told me to "make sure I was sitting down" - they're £3000!!

So, basically I'm looking for a pedal box which is floor mounted, very short and under £1000. I've seen these - http://www.tiltonracing.com/content....st2&id=399&m=b - but I'm not sure how much they'll be. Probably somewhere around the £1500 mark, I'm expecting.

I know a few of you have done this sort of project yourselfs, so what can you all suggest?
