Here is another angle view of the box with the pedals in it.
Here is a picture of the top of the box. Here you can see the little return spring billet bracket (same as the one on the balance bar) that has to be put on the clutch push rod before you screw the clutch master cylinder push rod on to the clutch fork clevis.
Also, you can see how we run the brake and clutch return springs. The brake return spring is CRITICAL to the functioning of the brakes. If you have a brake master cylinder failure, or if you develop a leak, the brake pedal will remain on the floor (along with your jaw) and will not return back up to so you can pump the brakes and get them to stop you before you run out of straight and have to turn. The spring forces the brake pedal to return in case of an emergency failure in the system. If you leave the clutch spring out, you will get stuck on the side of the road if something fails. If you leave the brake pedal return spring out and something goes wrong, you too will be stuck on the road--and the ambulance driver will scrape you OFF the road to haul you away. It is a Darwin offense to leave it out! Finally, in the back of the pedal box, we simply drill a hole and put a cotter pin in to hold the other side of the clutch and brake pedal return springs.
Here we have riveted the bottom of the pedal box back on and it is bolted back into place. We even put new bolts back into the holes.
