I had to work today... Evil or Very Mad Tomorrow afternoon I will get the bracing done. I got my tabs in today from A&A. They have quite a selection and are pretty cheap too. I need some pedals and a master cylinder. Any ideas???

What are you using for brake calipers etc....I would think you could make the gas pedal easily....

I can get wilwood stuff.....If you find something let me know...

This is about 68.00, you can make your own pedal with a rod, perfect for small brake systems.....My pricing is not killer on wilwood, but will offer you the best deal i can...If there is anything you need i am a dealer for Speedwaymotors.com , they carry a lot of race oriented parts....

I have the front end from a 300ex. A-arms, hubs, routers, and calipers. It came with the master cylinder and brake handle but I don't know if I can make that work for my application.

if you mounted it down and ran a rod from the pedal to the handle? Or maybe make a new handle that is a lever? Post some pictures if you can, maybe we can offer some ideas....I think it would probably work fine....Just a matter of getting it setup is all....

I am going to browse over there right now. I'll let you know. I think I saw a brake pedal and master from Desert Karts for $79.

That is very possible, My prices from speedway are not top dog thats for sure....Look on fleabay to, but i sure would think you could use the stock master....Wouldnt even be to hard to mount, as it should clamp right onto 1" tubing... Very Happy

And a gas pedal for $20.

What about bushings? I used 3/4 inch water pipe for the a-arm ends. That is 3/4" id. I don't get it but that 3/4" water pipe is bigger than my 1" dom tubing... Confused

I will have to take another look at it to see what I can do to make it work. All this work, I want it to look cool. I don't want it to look "home made" you know.
