Too many posts.. I need a life!!
I haven't looked at this in ages !
Completely forgot about it!
Glad I did because I see that you have put clutch master cylinder inside !
I've been thinking about doing this instead of mounting it through the bulkhead,
When I do the conversion!
Do you have any more mate?
If you don't mind me copying your idea of the modded pedal box?!
Cheers Luke

Share the knowledge then dingla!
Have you moved the position of the rod 60mm up from the pivot point instead, of the usual 60mm down?
I know a bit of fabrication is need but that's easy
