Yep, It's easy to post 12 months worth of work in a day! Really I think I'm working in Dog Years here as everything takes me 7 times longer (and expensive) than I think it should. I've got friends that have busted out complete race cars in under 6 months, simply amazing!
Here's the promised update on the brake & clutch pedals>
I originally intended to use a Wilwood hanging brake & clutch pedal assembly; however, as it all seems too common with this project, I had to rethink my options as I ran out of room. The pedal assemblies placed the hydraulics in front of the pedals and the added length pushed the pedals back too far into the cockpit. What I really needed was a reverse mount set-up with the hydraulics pointing toward the driver. I looked for a suitable replacement, but didn’t find one. So I scrapped the mounts I'd created for the Wilwood units and commenced to make myself a set of reverse mount pedals. Here’s some pics of the pieces and the finished unit tacked into the car. I know some roadsters only run a hand brake; however I spent a lot of time on dirt and like the confidence in knowing that if I need to, I can stand on a brake pedal.
