Hi Jeff,

Any chance in a few pics of the pedal box please . Did you also go for the Tilton 600 series throttle pedal too?
Did changing to this set up give more leg room/push the pedals back towards the front of the car?

Im looking to somehow move the top hung pedals back so that i can straighten my legs a little more.

Only used the brake/clutch Dave. It would go a bit further back (10-15mm)

Did the steering column pass through ok?
Im thinking it will be a bit of a pain.

We had to change the complete steering column. And yes, it was a pain.

You seem very reticent to take any pictures of your new steering column and share it with us all....are you a little embarrassed buy the 'agricultural' look it gives to the engines bay now :lol:

Not really, just doesn't seem that interesting.

Just for Pete...

Pete, I think calling it "agricultural" is unfair. Would you say the same about the Forth Bridge?
