I seem to remember several weeks back thinking I would have the pedal box finished by the end of the week, well I did get it done by the end of the week but not the one I started it in! All thoughts of using a mini pedal box in 'Mini' configuration diminished when I offered it in position. Way to high. Sooooo Cut it to bits, turn it upside down, reverse the pedals, cut them, weld them, fit Landrover master cylinders, add an accelerator pedal and there we have it! Sounds so easy doesn't it? Not sure why it took so long then......
Radiator mounting & pump brackets  all completed. A new bracket has been made for the clutch slave cylinder so can get on with plumbing up the the clutch and brakes now.

 Just a reminder what the original pedals looked liked. Good job I only paid a tenner for them!

    It's looking good. Now are you going to fabricate a firewall from sheet metal? Just realized your body is just a shell to form the outside shape of the car, kind of like a big model kit.

    H'mm yes the firewall (bulkhead). One of the objectives has been to make it as easy as possible to remove the body, so I think I will have to use a combination of sheet ally & fibreglass. The most important function will be to stop my feet & legs getting wet!
