Pedal Boxes

[Schumi]

Hello.

I'm building a LHD 106 GTI track car. But oem pedals are to small and close other pedals. My foot number is 46. The my plan is locating my bucket seats futher back as possible and install a pedal box for better feel, adjustable pedal angle and more clearance. Also I dont like feel of servo unit.

I saw OBP pedalbox for 106 GTI. That product slopped design for fitting 106 bulkhead. But there is a new released Pro-Track v2 series from OBP with solid pedals instead of welded sheet metal. I want to use Pro-Track series but that pedal boxes designed for flat bulkheads and I want to ask to you people what other persons doing when installing other brands universal pedalboxes. Also it will be nice to see some custom pedal boxes or installation photos.

Also what is highest ratio did anybody setup with pedal box. I will use Pug 607 / Evo 9 Brembo calipers with 302mm disc at front brakes.

pedal boxes are a huge ball ache, if your set on it, go for it, but its a horrible job todo, im doing one in a fiesta st150 and not loving it, you have to drill the throttle pedal itself for the cable, and cut the brake pistons down where it goes into the adapters for the pedal itself... thats an OBP one...

Is your OBP universal one or direct (!) fitment for Fiesta ?

direct fitment for the fiesta from obp themselves, was not impressedand it should be fitted and bled tonight after 2 weeks of messing about with it and getting unions (that dont come with the pedal box) granted in the 2 weeks weve been doing alot of other things such as trying to rebuild the car... only reason for the pedal box was because it was fly-by-wire and is now a cable operated ITB setup... think very carefully if you wanna do it, im not trying to put you off but im having second thoughts about my own car now as well...
