Spent most of the day cutting 3mm sheet to make the floor mounted pedal box. went through a couple of 1mm cutting discs in the process.
I'm almost exactly using the haynes roadster setup, with a few simplified elements.
Welded up the main backplate and mounts ready for the pivot points to be welded on, then ran out of welding wire.
Once the pedals are a little more complete i will post some photos.

Thanks to all the members who have posted links to gearboxes on trade me. You can now end your search as yesterday i won a gearbox on trade me for $100.00. It is in Wellington so getting my cuz to collect it for me and bring it to Rotorua on his next visit in october. So i have to wait 6 weeks until i get it! Bummer!
But that gives me six weeks to finish the chassis, and get on with the rear diff mounts and trailing arms, ready for the trial engine and gearbox fit.
