Next thing I took on was modifying the pedal box so that my brake and clutch master would fit.
This involved creating flanges, mounting those, and modifying the pedal box significantly.

1. These are the shapes of my master cylinders traced onto some 1/4 inch plate. |
|

2. Rough cut with a plasma cutter. |

3. Cleaned up significantly. |
|

4. Ready made clevises for the brake master are a little expensive, so I made this one from a nut and some steel I had lying around. |

5. Clutch master mounted to some pipe. |
|

6. Clutch master held next to the mount. |

7. As it will sit with the fender on, it is close but clears. |
|

8. Clutch master tacked in place, you can see the marks in the foreground for the cuts I will have to make to accomodate the brake master. |

9. Different view. Next is cutting the box apart. |
|

10. Box trimmed. You can also see the first relocation piece tacked onto the arm. |

11. Relocation piece from above. The clevis attachment point had to be moved over to accomodate the large master cylinder. |
|

12. Riser attached and master cylinder set in place. |

13. Cut off portion of the box reattached at an angle to mount the master cylinder. |
|

14. Beginning of the raised portion of the box to cover the new raised attachment point. |

15. Nearly complete. |
|

16. Done. |
I still have to modify the original lid, though I may end up just replacing it. I also think I will have to modify the pedal shafts again to get sufficient travel for the operation of the master cylinders. I chose a big bore master cylidner so I could minimise the needed stroke, but the clutch master is matched to the slave.
Next I think is modifying the pedals again and making a lid. I also still need to make an access point for the shifter linkage in the transmission tunnel, and clean up a lot of my welds.
