Pedalbox

Whilst the scuttle is in position I had a look at the pedalbox since fundamentally it looks straightforward to fit and with little work required to be done.

To complete it, so to speak, it needs 10 M8 rivnuts fitting, and simply positioning screwing into place on the chassis, firewall.

first challenge and one which I had noted on other builds - the throttle pedal screw on initial fit does not fit straight into the locating hole in chassis - very puzzling.... 

Solution is quite straightforward and a light bulb moment sat in bed drew me to the folds in the pedalbox base where it folds out to lay flat on the chassis. Simply put, the folds need tightening - so taking a toffee hammer to the fold and using a straight edge (steel rule) - tap along each fold line to tighten the fold to a defined right angle. place back in position on the chassis, push the throttle bolt through the pedal box into the chassis frame and bingo it goes in straight - result!



The box will need some selective trimming and bending dependent on respective fit to firewall and chassis but overall as mentioned earlier this is a nice quick job to do.

M8 rivnuts applied to the top edge of the box where the lid fixes in position and also along the bottom edge into the chassis frame (be careful, these holes are quite close to the edge of the chassis frame). Finally a couple of further holes to secure into the firewall and job done its fitted.
