Default Roy....I believe you sound "set" when it comes to the footbox...

..BUT mine is new (fresh from Ron Butler), and I noticed that the guide-tube or gudgeon for the pedal-rod is set to the left WITHIN the box itself. Inother words, it's longer on the left than on the right...I know I may not be able to reverse the box left-for-right...but my gas pedal is going to be 2.5 inches from the foot-box wall. It is therefore about 2 inches to the left of its "normal" position. It's just BARELY 1/4 to the right of "dead ahead". I am thinking of making bends (or weldments to achieve the equivalent) in the pedal shafts. I know I can't convey this verbally---I'll keep ya posted though.

Yours and Mike Monster's are the "class of the class"! Really.
