PEDAL BOX

[Shelby]

Has anyone used the Marina/Ital pedal box on a Dax with any success, using a Rover lump?

to fit a Marina/Ital pedal box to a dax you would have to seriously modify the bulkhead and fit a strengthening plate to support the pedalbox as the dax bulkhead is fibreglass the pressure from the pedals needs to be spread over the full area all in all its a big messy job .i've built a lot of daxes and looked at many ways to lower cost and or simplify things and this particular area i found was best left alone ,i know it's expensive but the dax pedal box seems to me to be the safest and most economical option in the long run

Dave dont know how expensive the Dax set up is ,but I have a marina pedal box on my Gravetti.Last month I needed to replace the clutch master cylinder. Thinking nothing of I went to my local parts shop (Webbs Spare parts)and ordered one .When it arrived The bloke Gulped and said "f%&k me you could get a whole Marina for that!!!"After a bit of discount inc Vat it came out at £102.50
So go for the unit that fits best and save the agg. and possibly some dosh.

I'll second Steve's answer - Marina pedal boxes are becoming very hard to find, and master cylinder rebuild kits are very pricey. A shame, since they were a neat way around an area that is a problem for a lot of folks, and very easy to fit in cars with sheet metal footwells (obviously no good for a Dax then!!).

I am not 100% sure, but I think that a bog standard girling clutch master cylinder from the likes of Merlin at £30ish would fit.
