Pedal-prep

One job that needs to be done is to add an extra pedal for the clutch. I got a pedal box off Doug - the box itself was a bit rusty so I cleaned it up with a wire wheel on the angle grinder. However whilst browsing the parts catalogue (like you do) I realised that the box itself is the same part number - in fact everything is the same apart from the pedals themselves. Sticking my head under the dash proved this and revealed a pedal box in immaculate condition already there. So I finished cleaning up the pedals and gave them a quick spray paint.

I am using an MGC clutch master cylinder - so I needed to devise some sort of stop for the pedal - I’ve drilled a hole in the pedal and will simply put a long bolt through it. Nice and simple solution - hope it works!
