Are you allowed to do that?
I am fabricating my own pedal box for my 1200 ute. Can't see why they wouldn't fit, or be made to fit. Just make a new support if the resiviors are in the wrong place.

cable tie what do mean allowed to do that. This is for a race car of course youre allowed to.
It makes alot of sense to do it as you have better balance from front to rear brakes, separate master cylinders for front and rear brakes for safety and also better feel.

Some classes have some wonderful restrictions.
I would also look at a remote reservoir version if it is available.

I run a Willwood set up in my car. It is the earlier style pedals with cast grips rather than the later black and sandpaper jobbies. The instructions with them are really good with all the dimensions shown clearly. All I did was cut the lower section of the original pedal box and welded a plate 3mm thick to the remaining two legs. I had drilled multiple mounting holes in the plate prior to welding to give me some adjustment. I can get a shot of the mounting plate but not with the pedal box since I have'nt replaced it after it being stolen out of the car last year..I also ran two rose jointed support rods from the rollcage cross tube that runs behind the dash to avoid any flexing. They are bloody good units and also offer a great tech support to help with master cylinder sizing and caliper compatiability. I run 2 7/8" m/c and have two set of Superlite calipers with different size pistons for differing set ups but I have stuck with the 1 3/8" pistons so far. The pedal travel is short but really good to drive with. I have copied the Willwood pedal boxes several times when building them for other people.

Thanks for your advice Sterlo, that was my big question as to what master cylinders to use with it. I want to use a balance bar and in car adjuster as well as a brake bias valve next to the drivers seat.
I would love some shots of the plate you made up for mounting purposes, especially as to how you cut out the the steering support bracket and adjustability of it.

Nice bit of kit Craig- go for it. I'd love one too. I run a home made adjustable pedal box with two 5/8" cylinders. Was good but with the commodore calipers has ended up with a longer pedal than I was used to. Got used to it though.
What's the advantage of running the bias valve as well? You can view topic.
