Hydraulic brake bias and clutch pedal box

Post

Back to the top

Make my own, crazy quiffs, pre made one?

Struggling a bit here on what to do. I'm need a brake bias and hydraulic clutch pedal box. I thought about fabricating my own but it looks pretty complicated. All I can find is pictures of peoples home made ones but no information 

I found crazy quiffs sell a modified standard pedal box, but it's £500?!?!?! And heard bad reviews of them about M/C leaking, for that money I don't want to hear that

There's a guy on eBay who makes modified original ones for £200 but I've sent him multiple messages with no reply

Also tired just caddys/retrofication with no luck, they just do clutch conversion, I emailed them about bias box with no reply

Though about fitting an overhung pedal box as you can pick them up for reasonable money with everything you need, but the steering column goes between the brake and clutch pedal which poses a problem

Floor mounted isn't really possible with the golf floor pan

Any other ideas? Links to people that have made theirs etc, any help would be much appreciated as this is the most expensive bit of my car! More so than the engine. And I need to get it all in first 

I don't mind making my own, but seems a little daunting 

Many thanks, Taylor

If I wanted to do this I would make (buy of ebay) a little metal bracket to weld to the steering column to take care of the clutch master cyl. I would then try putting the brake master cylinders/ balance bar on the end of the original linkage assy, just some fabrication/welding required. Not my idea, think I have seen a picture somewhere

Hmm, good shout! Those little weld on ends for the clutch are only £40 too

Once that's on it wouldn't take too much to make a housing on the existing box for the brake M/C. I had it in my head I'd need to completely make my own up from scratch and then weld my column to it. But this seems like a much better option. Thank you 
If you manage to find it, mind linking me to the picture!

Just had a proper look at the bolt on clutch bit, looks like a genius idea! I could quite easily fabricate that bit. Going to do some measuring and cutting this weekend. I'll keep you posted and for anyone else wanting to do the same

I bought a wilwood pedal box and had a tough time getting it all mounted but heres some photos of whats needed to get one to fit.
The throttle pedal needed extended to make it inline with the other 2 pedals, steering columb fits with u-joint and all pedals work with no rubbing/hitting

Thank you for the photos mate :)

I've currently dabbed my own hydro clutch which works perfect! And cut all the metal sides to make the pedal box out of. Just need to weld it all together
