Now that the pedal box is modified to fit the master cylinders, it was time to make sure they had enough travel to operate the brakes and clutch.

I also make a lid for the pedal box out of the old lid.


1. Here is the pedal box as it sits.
  
2. This is the old lid. The strap was for mouting the coil, but I don't need that anymore.

3. Here it is with the strap removed.
  
4. Cut for the outer half, now ready for the step up.

5. I used the rest of the original box and some extra sheet metal I had lying around to finish the lid.
  
6. Pedals with new proposed cuts for travel clearance.

7. Pedals as they sit with some tracing onthe firewall for cuts.
  
8. More travel, but not enough.

9. A view inside the box. .
  
10. First relief cut.

11. Now from the inside.
  
12. Got some more clearancing and pedal modification, but it's better now than it was.

13. You can see how the travel has improved.
  
14. More added to the front of pedals so more can be taken off the back.

15. Just about all the clearance I need for the brakes, will need more for clutch.
  
16. More building up and clearancing.

17. Pretty much final inside, Now to close the gaps.
  
18. A view from the outside of the pedals.

19. The little boc that I cut up and bent to seal the firewall.
  
20. Box in place before welding.

21. Both sealing boxes roughtly in place.

This took a while to do. I hope I was able to garner enough travel. If I don't have enough, I will have to think about bigger bore master cylinders.
