Thank you for explaining all the problems you face.
Best of luck!

[@ODRModurol]

@twentyrothmans7308, thanks for you for your message of support. We are working through them one by one, regards Damian

[@Ytrahcodo]

Thanks for the excellent review and analysis of the challenges and options for doing this pedal box conversion.
One problem you noted for the RHD conversion, the close proximity to the wiper link rod, could be solved by simply making a slightly bent version of the rod. Might have to fabricate a new rod though if the bend shortens the rod too much.

[@ODRModurol]

@Ytrahcodo, good idea and thank you for the suggestion. We have been able to refine the master cylinder location to improve the clearance to the wiper arm link. Sorted that issue for the moment but now on to the next, regards Damian

You can also use an Aston Martin DB7 or DB7 Vantage manual pedalbox

[@ODRModurol]

Wayne, good point, didn’t think of that. Not sure if I can find one though. Thanks for your input, much appreciated, regards Damian

[@overbuiltautomotive1299]

sweet stuff yep looks like one could make a peddle box from steal fairly easily just time and measuring .going to be my rout when in doubt and fabricate and make it work may me ill even use a toyota master cylinder but lol just we will see

[@ODRModurol]

@overbuiltautomotive1299, as you say its only metal bashing. Aiming for a highest quality result possible plus be able to share the method with anyone else wanting to try the same thing. Lots of trial and error but we will get there. Thanks for the interest and feedback, regards Damian
