Re: Dax extended footwell

Russ, I'm not in your area but have the extended footwell and have had horrendous problems with body alignment and the Aluminium kit fitment. Suffice to say Dax are at this very moment sorting it all out for me as it required major surgery. Peter Walker has been very helpful in this respect. Talk to him before placing the order as he knows the issues he's had to sort out on my car.

Hopefully they have now resolved the fact that the footwell box was too short and wouldn't butt up against the chassis plate and also that the ally kit didn't fit the fireglass footbox on the drivers side.

You are correct in that the Dax supplied Brake Master Cylinder (Escort?) won't fit as the Wheelarch gets in the way. I have had to cut a large hole in the Ally panel and Wheelarch to get it to fit. Peter gave me a fibreglass 'blister' moulding that I will fit over the hole from the wheel side. Hopefully this will cover the end of the cylinder. I have a few concerns about the wheel hitting it at full lock when the car is at normal ride height, but i'll worry about that some other time.

Suffice to say if i'd known about all these problems when I ordered the extended footwell option I would have gone for the standard one......

Good luck and let me know how you get on!

Cheers

Nick
