With the pedals now installed, I needed to fabricate new aluminium panels for the right side footbox. As the supporting structure is all different to the LHS, the footbox is not a straight mirror of the LHS.

That being said, doing it all new, allowed me to again create more space by dropping the floor nearly an inch. Setting your feet a bit lower takes your knees just that bit further away from the lower edge of the dash.

I did start off trying to mock the whole thing up in cardboard, but found that difficult as due to the size of the panels it was all a bit floppy. So ended up doing it bit by bit, making one panel, then installing it, then using that panel to help design the next panel.



I also widened the footbox compared to left side by allowing it to run up on top of the 4" main beams.



When finished, I think it came out pretty good



And with the other side for comparison.
