I have been busy lately on JJH 20G (Rochdale Olympic lightweight, ex John Anstice brown car) I have to sort out the pedal box assembly for the car and I am about to reproduce the original which was a cross between the normal Phase one and a phase two pedal box. It uses 2 horizontal master cylinders instead of the Mini type, the brake and clutch pedal are also extended and the bore size on the brake is 0.7 (0.625 clutch).

I have been reading the thread on ph 2 pedal boxes and could possibly be persuaded to make some of these too if there is enough interest.

I've been looking at floor mounted, or top hanging aftermarket ones.

If you havea heavy clutch go 0.75 . . .and definitely 0.75 brakes, or 2 x 0.625 if using bias set up. the pedal will be wooden enough as it is if a Turners anything to go by!

Thanks, I used a 0.7 brake master on my roadgoing Phase 1 for about 25 years as a daily hack and that wasn't a problem, it would be nice to use twins but I'm not sure of the possition with regulations. What size do you use on the clutch for a Ford gearbox.

there are 2 different slave cylinders, just match them up . . . the big 0.75 is for the Twin cam cluth @ 8 1/4"

, the smaller std ones are fine for precrossflow (7 1/4") or crossflow 7 1/2"

get them the wrong way round and you either don't get enough travel, or you pop the piston out of the slave!
