Only seen these Darren as fitted to my hotrod dash

John, has a good point. I have an adjustable box and after I set it up haven't touched it since. I also have been told its an MOT problem but my garage have never commented. In any case make sure you know its set position............I've had my knob fiddled with a few times...

I have an adjustable brake pedal/box, 2 masters etc on my full race Lola hillclimb car, made and fitted by Lola.

Set it once and have never touched it since.

On a road car i think this can be an MoT 'issue'?

[squirdan]

Mines been MOTd with it. Chances if avg mot man knowing what it is is slim to negligible I'd say

Would agree though.. Only ever used it in my old RSR rep on a v wet trackday once

Still nice to have!

[Darren65]

once you have them set up you are unlikely to change the setting again?

Tis' true, something that's unlikely to be used.......however, back in the day when the Mongrel was racing the many Tarmac rally and race tracks around Europe the bias allowed different drivers to set their own preference depending on the circuit being driven and so for the sake of historical period correctness it has to be done.....

.....plus it's a pretty cool mod antway!

Cheers!

Cheers,

tuthills supplied and fitted along with their custome pedal box but I suspect its off the shelf... have you checked demon tweeks et al?

details yes exactly. thats the point. which is why a "rod" is MUCH more fun than a factory spec resto

Circumstance means that this project has taken a back seat of late

Consoling myself and getting my Porsche fix by buying the odd trinket….

….a twelve shooter to top my MM dizzy ….

Keep the faith Darren - these are the tough times. Plenty of time yet...journey not the destination, journey not the destination.....

Eat
Sleep
Porsche
Repeat....

Keep the faith Darren - these are the tough times.

Thanks Richard,

Madly busy and two painters down in a team of four means my car has to play second fiddle at the moment

A niggle for sure although not a real issue, all will come in time and there's far more important things for me to focus on at the moment…..

….plus if I can continue to score the odd original rare part or two in the interim…..that'll keep me going for now!

Cheers,

Quite right - I bought 3 steering wheels and a pair of ferrari seats to help me through the dark times. the seats are still in my office - waiting an opportune moment to bring them home

Do you mean when Mrs S is out?

[sladey]

Yep that's about right - need to get them home and into the attic undetected
