Gotta love the detail work, Steve!!!! I guess that's what separates us from normal people who drive stuff the way the factory built it!

As they say Dave, its all in the details

Probably just a rumor, but a friend of mine claims that they're really out there---wondering around bored to tears and hopelessly lost---but they are there!!!!!

one of them probably has Steves missing pair of channel locks

REally???? I didn't know that they knew how to use tools!!!!

Just showing off to the others

Well the last couple of evenings i've managed to sort a job that i couldn't make my mind up about, namely the brake pedal, the sensible side of me was saying under the floor dual circuit master cylinder but i just thought it looked to modern, the other side was saying swinging pedals and 1960 Chevy picup master cylinder, the one drawback was that it as single circuit but as i already had a brand new cylinder i decided to go the unsensible route.

Obviously to use this cylinder i needed a swinging pedal box, the Ansen type fitted my needs perfectly and used the chevy master but after seeing the prices they were going for i decided to make my own.

One problem arose straightaway as i knew i had a master cylinder but forgot i had sold it to a customer, a quick call and another was on its way and the customer kindly sent me a template of the cylinder base bolt pattern, this at least enabled me to get started.



This is the 60-62 Chevy cylinder i'm using.















This is the expensive & rare Ansen pedal box















My version is made from 316L stainless, base is 1/4" cut from plate (not laser cut) pedal is 3/8" and as its on display i polished it all, master cylinder mounts on firewall. Mine is also adjustable

Looks great!

thanks pugsy
