“P” clips to secure to the chassis but then removing this pipe for ease and safety of fitting the body.
This pipe runs along the outside of the chassis above the body-mounting flange.
5.3 Handbrake
Parts required 044
1. The handbrake mounts to the inner left hand chassis rail, beside the gearbox with the top face of the
mount flush with the top face of the “C” section chassis member and the rear end just ahead of the
tubular cross member. Secure with two 5/16”UNF bolts and Nylocs.
2. The rear handbrake cable pivot bolts to the rear differential with the longer unc bolts supplied, and
then the two handbrake link cables can be fitted between the pivot and the callipers using clevis and
split pins.
3. You can then fit the main handbrake cable. Take the end with the threaded adjuster bar and on it
screw one of the M10 nuts on the outer cable adjuster before passing it through the front cable
location bracket on the inner chassis rail. Add a shake proof washer and the second M10 nut to
secure. The threaded bar can then have the “C” bracket attached to it with one nut on each side
before attaching this to the handbrake lever with a clevis and split pin. The rear end of the cable then
passes under the chassis and through the Panhard rod and into the rear handbrake cable mount. This
is secured by two M10 nuts and a shake proof washer. You can then connect it up with another
clevis and split pin.
4. Using any or all of the three threaded handbrake adjusters, adjust the cable length so that the wheels
turn free with the handbrake off and 5-6 clicks on the handbrake locks them up.
5.4 Pedal Box
Parts required 043
1. To install the pedal box start by assembling the pedals on the shaft with the spacers supplied. The
pedals are identical and lean forwards. The angled end mount fits to the centre ‘C’ section chassis
rail and the horizontal end mount to the footboard tie plate. Offer the assembled pedal box to the
chassis and then clamp it to the chassis before taking the pedals, passing the shafts through the
footboard and securing to the pedal arms. Check pedal shafts for free movement through the
footboard releasing the clamps to reposition where necessary to allow the pedals good clear
movement. The upper part of the pedal arm should lay against and at the same angle as the heel
board with the pedal in the released position.
2. Once you are satisfied with the position mark the four mount holes before removing the pedal box
and drilling mount holes to 8mm, the pedals can then be refitted and connected to the master
cylinders with the clevis pins provided. The outer bolts will need removing at a later date to allow
fitment of the belly pans and the mount holes drilled through the belly pans before refitting the bolts
again.
3. The throttle pedal can be mounted by passing the shaft through the footboard from inside before
passing fixing bolt through the mounts and the pedal and securing with Nyloc nut.
