What pedal type did you use for the clutch?

I have a floor mounted bias pedal box mate.

i did before use a modified G40 pedal box with a Passat master cylinder on it. i have an experiment going on with a modified pedalbox which fits onto the 86c chassis with a reverse mounted girling master cylinder - but im to busy with a 1000 other things to work on something i dont need at the minute

it wasnt easy to make it fit! you dont get much space and unless you want to sit quite far back its a bugger to fit.
im going through my garage today so as i unearth all the parts i photo them and post them up

Marshall modified the original pedal box to take a clutch master cylinder, but ended up hacking it apart and rebuilding most of it to his own design eventually.

This is on my to-do list at some point.

My new release bearing is fudged already after 5k miles, must have been from driving around with a fucked pedal box for 1000miles
will definitely be going hydro with a floor mounted pedal box

Wouldn't even bother dude, the stitch welded one I got from here broke in Switzerland :( not even worth doing, it broke where the pedal pivots are moubted to the flat metal, a different place from my last one, these boxes are seriously flawed, save yourself the ball ache mate
