Ok update time been a bit slow as of late being mega busy at TG and getting the online store running again :)

Brakes you need them and Jon @ MinotaurRacing once again helped out with a much better pedel box, much like the OBP design but Jon's box is stronger and also includes mounts for the brake and clutch switches

I will update soon with photos of the box but for now here are a few shots of the pots mounted to the dash bar ;)
