Sorry for not replying earlier...

Certain classes of racing allow floor mounting of pedals, but IPRA donot (btw) so if you intend to buy and fit for a street/race set up.. check the rules first.

the only rules i can see, mainly concerns the ABS brakes in late model cars.

For "IPRA" CAMS Manual page 7-86, Para 13.2 Controls....
All driving...bla bla
....Pedals and pedal boxes are free, but the radial location of the of the (not my typo theirs) pedal axes must remain within 75mm of the original.

OK after a few hours of working in the heat-gotta love the sunny weather in qld-Sorry Glenn/ultrablue-the car is stripped to the bone, some minor rust around the front and rear screens thats about it-it'll be repaired tonight by my welding mate, tommorow both me and my cousin will be sanding the shell down for undercoat, engine bay/radiator support will be painted tommorow, and most of the shell should be ready to undercoat by the end of tommorow and go to get caged in the next week or two, thank god I had beer and loud music to help in the heat today i'll take some pics later before it hits body work tommorow

What sort of cage ?

#296 _rorym_

Guests

Posted 09 January 2007 - 04:00 PM

Welded in steel 6 point with double cross on loop and rear supports with removable intrusion bars on the front. CAMS approved.
And to all the guys picking on NOS...leve him alane..I had my body done by someone else, he has to catch up...
Plan is the get the cage in mine this coming weekend...then over to NOS' to store until he has the same then we will spray both at the same time so they will wheel out in the flesh together.
R

P.S...As an aside...things must be hotting up in the muscle car area...I have a guy chasing me and offering silly money for the HDT XU1 V8....Guess those $35k LC GTRs are having an effect!
