Went and picked up a Phaeton from Big Vern (Cheers mate!) as a rebuild project. Its an S1 but has some S2 bits from the looks of it like the rear bodywork which has the bulges for spring hangers.

The plan is to strip it back to the bare chassis and then build it up from there, new bushes, calipers etc and a new engine just not sure what yet! It came with some goodies such as some Revolution wheels with yokos, a nice stainless exhaust and a new hood.

Looking forward to getting stuck in. Here's some pics, excuse the quality they're from my phone

I'll have to look at the pedals in my mx5, Mx5 are hydraulic clutch though.

search through some of the Exocet builds on the MEV forum

What ever you use, they are bound to need a fair bit of fettling. The two seperate componants of the MX5 set, and the length of the arms, will give you a bit of scope to play around.

Ah didn't realise it was a Cortina one BV, when I posted before someone said it was a triumph one. I was wondering about mx5 ones Paul, wasn't sure if they were cable clutch and whether there was enough room for them

What about this ...... Ebay  280769892008     MX5 Pedals ??

Floor mounted pedal box haynes roadster style. Anyone on LCB got one?

Make is cheap but requires welding, avoid welding by buying, which isn't cheap :-(

Pedal box you have is Mk2 Cortina BTW.

My welding isn't up to much and my mate who helps me out doesn't have a lot of time

Going back to the subject of pedals discussed on the forum recently, does anyone have an idea of a cheap alternative to the triumph pedal box I could use? Problem is the position where the pedal box would mount the master cylinder fouls on the inlet manifold. A floor mounted set would be nice but I don't want to spend that much.

Went down the unit today and removed the engine and box, fitted the fibre glass bulkhead back in and the refitted the engine and box. I'm not going to use the original bulk head but put it in to get an idea of where to make the frame for the new one.

This is part of the reason for not using it, turbo very close and I need to fit the metering unit. I think the metering unit will get mounted just above the gearbox

I rested everything back in place for the time being to create a bit of space down there. Looks almost like a car!

Hoping to go and do some tinkering with the car at the weekend, haven't looked at it for at least a month. I wonder if the fairies have done any work for me lol
