Afternoon,

smighall, DAKOTAstorm, Konrod and Basil Brush would you all please contact me. Either through PH email or add '@ aol dot com' to my screen name.

I'll then send out payment details.

Once we have all paid, Leigh has agreed to do our run of pedals.

Afternoon guys.

We are doing a run of pedals for the four people mentioned above plus me. Once they are done, they will be photo'd so the rest of you can see.

We will then do another run for the remaining people.

No need for deposits at this time for the second run.

Afternoon All,

Leigh has almost finished the first run.

I have had a conversation with Leigh and he has a concern regarding liability.

Some software modeling has been done to test the pedals but Leigh is not doing this commercially. Therefore, I think it is reasonable to view these pedals the same way that show plates are viewed. That you are purchasing a product for a show car and Leigh cannot be held liable out side of this.

I am confident that they are fit for purpose and will be using them. Compared to the factory ones they have more meat on them. To me, this makes them more robust but that is my opinion.

If anyone is not comfortable with this and wishes to withdraw then please do so. Only purchase if you are happy with this limited liability.

1st batch are heading out this week. Can those that receive them please post up your comments - although please contact Leigh first if you have an issue so he has the chance to resolve it.

Please add you name to the list if you'd like a set(s). Second run will be started soon so if you'd like to be on it deposit(s) will be required.

Do you not need to re-drill the box and levers to accept the larger spindles? Best to get the bits modded then re-finished.

Which bit of Facebook?

I've posted it on a lot of groups but directed people here to centralise orders.

Leigh has set up a [closed] Facebook group for his Car Engineering / Machining bits - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1649639611815791/ Autobarn Engineering

Finally seen the light Steve!

I think the issue with the pedals is that it is a floor box arrangement rather than a 'hung' unit.

As for how the curved pedals feel, totally personal. You're happy to try Tamy next year on the S Club if she accompanies me.
