Default Some updates at last!

Wow, has it really been since July '12 since I added to this thread. Slack is the appropriate word here .....

Anyways, let me see if I can rectify this a little.

Continuing on from thee last entry, the next area I tackled was the RHD conversion and footbox. As the F5R roadster in LHD from the states, I was on my own here.

I started by fabricating a new steering wheel mount for the right side. I did not duplicate the original design exactly, instead making a simpler mount.



From there I set about mocking up various arrangements of pedal locations and supporting structure and after about three goes I finally ended up with something I like.





The pedal support here is different to the original F5R design, but that is because that design had to cater for using either a Wilwood pedal set or a pedal box from a Mustang. I also took this opportunity to locate the pedals about 2" further forwards to give me a bit more feet space.
