brake and clutch pedal.......Tilton
master cylinders AP-Racing and Girling
accelerator pedal is made by a friend
Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant at the wheels, not the floor.
The rotors & calipers.
I see Wilwood, did you have to mod the parts to fit or was it all just bolt together?

AMAZING! wow, another set of pants that need cleaning. The setup looks extremelly clean. What size engine and what tranny are you running? looks sequential as well. What the expected RPM range and how did you get the pedal assambly to fit propperly?

Heinz sent me a mail and asked to translate some of the questions.
I like how you boxed in the bottom/front roll cage mounting points. That cage fits very tight. Can you show pics of how you tied your "motor plate" into the roll cage?
The adapterplate is bolted together at the top and bottom.On the topfrom the inside of the car there are rods welded to the wheelwells.The rods are connected to the adapterplate.

He created his own combination using the Wilwood calipers and discs.He also has different master cylinders to choose from and a variety of brake pads with different friction values,but he´s still in the progress of testing them.He can fully adjust the brake brake pressure to exactly how he wants it between front and back or just the pressure,the Scalebeam at the pedals is for fine tuning.

Motor is a 2666ccm type 4 max rpm 7200rpm, Hewland FT200 Tranny sequential shifting.The pedals are bolted to a self made adapterplate.(probably because the floor pans are pretty thin,that would give it stability).The gas pedal is fabricated by a friend.The other pedals are from tilton.

Is your cage a "4 point" design? I can't see any tubing in the rear package tray area.

The trans is moved forward a couple of inches to improve weight distribution.He races slalom races - for that he needs to have a lot of grip on the front wheels to be able to make quick turns and still remain stable.The car is set up with a short ratio gearbox - top speed is only about 100mph - but he can achieve that speed on a short course.
