Tilton pedal box

Simon,
For the GTD chassis, I've fitted a Tilton top hung pedalbox. see

You will have to fabricate a suitable mounting bracket & also a throttle pedal. I've used Girling MC's with integral resevoirs.
It's a huge improvement over the GTD item. I managed to save several KG & also have binned the servo's.
Hope this helps!

Julian, I am very interested in improving the pedal set up in my 1990 GTD chassis with the extended pedal box mount(moved 1 1/2" forward. Did you have any trouble with the pedals clearing the floor or bottoming out on the front of the Tub? Also does the new gas pedal work well with the new pedal locations?
40Bud,
The tilton top hung fits fine, altho the pedals are wider spaced than the GTD box. Also the pedals are much longer (hence the better ratio) & need to be mounted correctly. there is room to fit the pedals according to the specs given by Tilton.
I spent alot of time trying different positions for the pedalbox, paying special attention to clearance for your right foot around the steering column (RHD car!)

Simon,
Frank Catt does a pedal box to fit. I have had one fitted to mine and with my rather large feet, am very pleased with the results! This was one of the many improvements Frank has made to my car - the transformation in terms of driveability have been phenomenal. All I need to do now is sort out a decent engine!

Simon/Linder,
Have a look at the Aussie 3 pedal, floor mounted box made by Guru Motorsport.
I'm fitting one and IMHO they are very well engineered and I know a couple of lads down there are fitting them to some very special cars.
