Quick update.

Original 'curved' pedal and a pedal box with the engineer. He's just finishing off his current run of bits and then moving onto these.

Update time.


Right Leigh has done some 3D modelling on the design for a milled pedal from a cast block of ali.

We have discussed things and a few changes have been made. Namely a thicker overall pedal and no strengthening ribs on the rear. There is one mounting point on the rear - as per the original curved ones. I'll ask him to post a link to the 3D model so people can look.

Leigh doesn't have the machine to 'cut out' TVR into the pedals.

Doing a throttle pedal is doable - note at the moment we are talking about the brake and clutch pedal. The factory straight pedal had vertical groves and I note that the photos loaded of curved pedals show the throttle pedal has no grooves. I'll discuss with Leigh separately about doing a smooth pedal with a small recess so that people can add 'fibre-grip' if they wish.

What we are looking for now are deposits from people to get the materials and make the sets up.

Can people on the above list please reply here as to whether they are happy to pay a £30 deposit per pair - so £60 if you want two pairs.

Please don't reply asking for a link to the 3D model. I'll message Leigh and ask him to post it.

As some background, Leigh is very well known for his machined ali parts for the RV8 - he's just done a run of cupholders for the Grief and Chimp owners. He also does instrument bezell kits for other TBR models - Wedge S etc.....

Link to see the 3D design,
Once these are finished we can look at the accelerator pedal options, I'm also looking at a better fixing kit with roller bearings , as all the plastic look crap.

Happy to pay the deposit, assuming the overall price is still inline with what was previously posted.

Finished price will be the same as agreed, and if for some unknown reason this can not be done , you will be offered a refund. But is extremely unlikely.

The 3D models aren't accessible, looks like a security issue, but I'm happy with £30 deposit, let me know where and when.

I'm happy to go ahead with the deposit.

How does the pivot point height compare with the 2 on the original pedals?

The original curved pedals only have one pivot point which is the higher one on the straight pedals. These pedals copy that.

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.
