I actually made the pedal box myself with clutch,brakes and acc. pedal as I couldn't find anything that I was happy to use at the time. It all works really well although the brakes are a tad heavy but then I haven't bedded them in yet and I also need to set the bias up properly - this will only be possible when the car's finished and that could be anytime in the next decade!

Hi Jon
Thanks for the info.I've spoke to rally design on this and they needed the brake pedal to master cylinder push rod ratio (ie-5>1), master cylinder size and exsisting brake piston size. They suggested either the 1.75" or the 1.50" but in the midilite range (approx£136 +vat). Apparently it is all down to brake pedal length/push rod ration, not just size of calipers!!
