I just bought this bias pedal box off dangerous - reyland for the 3dr and need to obviously make something up to mount it.

will this type of thing be ok?

bearing in mind the only forces are pushing it towards the bulkhead, but would it be best to join the two bits together?

ps its a 5mm thick plate that will be welded to the bulkhead, and then 1" square tube

MAD EVO 4

Can't see why not bro

best way is to fit and then see how it performs under load

as in your hammering it at 200mph, go to brake and the fukka snaps off - oh, i guess i need to redesign that...

only joking lol, i guess it should be ok

are you having a roll cage?

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

yes, its got a cage gareth, but no, it doesnt have a bar running across the bulkhead if thats what you were thinking?

RichardPON

That's not a bulkhead mount - it looks similar to one Brom has on his car.

Should be fun getting that to fit without the cage bar and a fabricated hanger!

GARETH T

yes mate,,, i would fit a bar if i was you,,, could make life alot easyer

Fudgey

its a bolt in cage tho, not a weld in job, so i guess that would be no good either?

can you see the lugs on the sides of the pedal box? thats how it mounts, not via the studs for the cylinders like i originally thought.

surely its not 'that' difficult to make fit?

dojj

why not just put in the normal pedal box assembly?
that way you don't need to worry about how it's going to hang

or can't you fit it with the stuff in the engine bay?
or are you trying to keep the cylinders inside?

GARETH T

your first idea would be fine

lol cool, cheers!

dojj, due to putting a zetec turbo in and having roller barrell throttles there is no chance in hell of fitting a cossiw master cylinder in, no room at all.

so by fitting this, i will have no issues with clearance etc

dojj

mount it further froward, like they do with other motors

will you be using a remote servo? my box was a bastard on my legs without it

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

nope, im a man

its not gonna be used every day so it should be ok lol

When it was in my Escos it had verticle support brackets as well as the horizontal ones in you diagram

It was solid as a rock but required the drop down bracket which i didnt like

As long as you mount it with the steering column fitted & the cylinders in the box you will be fine

cheers mike, i was just thinking about it and came up with my ace little pic lol

im sure that it will be substantial enough to fit like that.

ill find out when i have both the car and the pedal box in the same place

cheers
