This pedal box has the master cylinder and booster all enclosed under the dash. with nothing on the firewall. You have to get the model with 1 inch master cylinder so it is compatible with brakes. Can't remember which model it was.
The pedal box has to have brackets welded into the underdash area to hold it in. Ken Title: Re: VH40 fitting to WB ute Post by: GLOZE on January 10, 2009, 04:19:31 PM thanks for the reply mate thats awesome!!!

Title: Re: VH40 fitting to WB ute Post by: mcl1959 on January 10, 2009, 05:07:29 PM I used to work at Hoppers Stoppers and we did this conversion on a HQ show car for a customer. We did it about 3 years ago - sorry no pics available.
I think it was an early model Tarago, but because we had a PBR catalogue, we looked up the sizes and found the master cylinder we wanted - then looked across to the model and went to the wreckers and got one. We then recoed the master and fitted the whole unit. Firewall was completely smooth - not even any bolt heads. The pedal box and master cylinder are all housed in a bolt-in frame which made it pretty easy to install Ken Title: Re: VH40 fitting to WB ute Post by: GLOZE on January 10, 2009, 05:23:02 PM exactly what im after!!!!
