Its not the easiest thing in the world to fit mate, lots of fabrication as nothing will actually bolt in as a kit.

Pedal box can be bought through OBP (google it) then you have to mount it then plumb in all the brakes/clutch and fabricate a throttle cable of sorts.

Wish I kept the servo but no space to in this fisher price childs size car

Its al a bit of a nigtmare really, had to chop the pedal arms about to get the right angle for your foot and then a platform needs to be made to posistion your feet at the right height etc. Certainly not a buy it fit it forget it job. Once its all in il show you or come have lok at Central day.

As much as i'd welcome you to pop down, its not my place to say so mate. Once the hectic mad rush is out the way then by all means we can sort something out. At the moment it's pretty mental down there getting it built.

cheers Jonny, apreciate you getting that pic, does look more ideal for me if I can find the space to fit one like that. I'll have to wait till its all fitted in to decide as I cant remember how much room the MTX75 leave at the font.

is that one off tank? as also not seen one like that for sale.
