I pm'd NutsRS the same thing and apparently they were going to do a straight replacement for the S2 but it wasn't pursued. Poss something to do with fouling the steering column? I'm not sure what to go for tbh, maybes floor mounted?

Cheers, Chris

Tony's pedal box was from Comp Brake, via Tony Nuts'R'us.

Still uses the transition bar. It's a good improvement on the original setup, but still allows for a little play in those parts.

Is this a direct replacement then? Are the cylinders mounted on pedal box or bulkhead?

Cheers, Chris
