Afternoon all,

Am out in the garage at the moment seeing how i will mount my floor mounted pedal box. How have you all secured it down? I know nut and bolt but i need the pedal box to sit a bit off the floor. Should i just use a bit of box section? Or what else could i do to raise it of the floor about 4cm?
Just want some ideas, pics would be great!

Cheers

 

why does it need to be off the floor mate

your most likely gonna have to make a false floor to rest your feet on anyway so you will be bringing the whole set up quite high if you get what i mean

 

not finished yet but i'm using this

 

Because of the shape of the floor pan, its hard to explain. Ill post up a pic.

 

You see the angle of the pedal box and the angle of the actual pedals, it needs raising slightly (block of wood). Also it helps with the position of the seat/pedals. It will have a false floor also.

 

i would just get a flat piece or metal (nothing too thick) bolt or weld that down
then bolt the peddles to that then it wont sit to high for the faulse floor
trust me your gonna need a faulse floor to rest your feet on

 

Its not a compbrake pedal box, its an OBP, same as what Luca is running.

 

plus yours is a series 2 right cos it looks like you have the obp mk3 fez peddle set up there

 

lol i saw the first pic and thought you posted it

then i saw the second and edited my post
sorry bud

 

and to save you alot of hassle dont use the obp servos and resovors cos they leak like a sive no matter what you do

trust me talking by experience
get some good ones and fit them once

luca can also vouch for that

 

Lol oh yeh just seen that!

Yeh im defo going to have a false floor.
I see what you mean?! Just bolt the pedal box down at the floor pan height, then make the false floor slightly higher?
Something like that? lol

 

yeh

if the floor isnt level or flat just put a strip if mettle down first then the peddle box
same on the bulk head side
faulse floor sits infront of the peddles at what ever hight suits you really

 

Nice one, cheers for the info

 

its a piece of piss mate

but take my advise on the resovors and servos they are 100% shit

 

The servos are Girling ones though, thought they were the better ones?

 

the brake one sticks on and draws air in the system so after a few hard stamps on the peddle the brakes lock on and will take 20 or so mins to free off
the res pots leak like a dripping tap

 

Oh right dont sound good! I was told to get Girling ones. What ones are decent then?

 

if you got girling ones and are not using the ones that came from obp then you should be fine

 

I got Girling ones just for that reason.

 

Was thinking about 1 of these for my mk1 escort where's the best place to buy from and roughly how much? cheers

 

obp do a mk1 escort one and its bulk head mounted not sure on price
look on there web site

bear in mind there are better out there but are a lot more money

 

Will hav a look but really fancy a floor mounted 1 rather than try to do a bulkhead mounted 1 as there a right pain in the ass lol cheers m8

 

Mine is from OBP and is a mk1/2 escort.
