DAY 22 - pedal box/muffler

Spent some time modeling the muffler. Most of the time was however spent on doing something about the pedal box. After the new suspension design, it just wasn't possible to have a floor mounted pedal box. The area around the pedal box is very cramped up mainly because of the steering rack and column. The steering column has to be in the right position, the pedal box has to be in the right position, everything has to be in the right position! and there ain't no space to move things around.

took a few minutes to model this















heres another rough design. Much better than the old one. I hope i can use my unis help to get this and most of the other parts cut and machined












fits pretty well. gives some good space for the steering rack too because the master cylinder can be located higher up unlike a floor mounted pedal box.
