Ok first step on the new pedal rails is to lower them into the floor. Don't want to raise the pedals any more than they are now so down is the only option.
Yes that's just a Temporary Bracing for welding...
Here's how it will sit on the car...

Next step weld in countersunk bolts into the new lower floor to hold the rails in...
Have also tack welded in the hex heads bolts that will attach the top plate to the rails and drilled
the holes to mount the motor unit.
Next make the Top Plate...
Yes this also has tack welded in Countersunk bolts from the bottom, as the plate is only 3mm above the old floor so had no room for anything else.
Attach the pedals onto the studs and the plate onto the rails...
Last thing screw in the lead screws...
Tomorrow I'll weld the plate in then the last thing is to fab some mounts into the front bulkhead to connect to the back of the Lead screws....

The motor is about 6mm clear of the master cylinders, must admit chuffed to bits how its gone so far was expecting more headaches to be honest...
Such a brilliant thread. Would love to have the same ability to make things like that.Look forward to following the progress.
In the spirit of "Time for Tea", I'm not alone in being British, Mad and a car constructor. These guys are bloody funny and very instructive and completely nuts....
Just watch all the videos, see if you can get all the comedy links (Watch the black board if your a Monty Pye fan)

today I've done FA despite having plenty I could get on with.
So not only am I in awe of the skills needed to do this I'm just amazed he has the energy.
Its like that film unbreakable. I'm Samual L Jackson to his Bruce willis.

Well just for giggles I found the weight of a std GT3RS that the engine came from is 3070lbs, should be able to knock at least 1000lbs of that, wounder what that's going to do for the Acceleration times.....
Anyway, back to work, well actually its time for bed here but we did manage to get the first side of the CNC machining tested on the new design front upright.. MDF is lovely stuff and when glued together is great for prototyping new CNC parts before attacking your $250 of 6061 billet.... and as the keen eyed among you will spot I made a little error (ringed in black pen) but that is now corrected in the program.
