OBP Track Pro Pedal Box

Post Sun Jul 29, 2012 3:26 pm

These are bespoke floor mounted pedal boxes that OBP make to fit a variety of motors. Supposedly designed to fit into the angle formed by the floorpan of the car. Has anyone else tried fitting one? I bought one 2nd hand and unused a while ago and got round to lining it up for drilling the floorpan today but the fit looks cr*p to be honest. It's definitely a RHD E30 pedal box, checked and double-checked that.

Here's the baby here, there's a photo of it fitted into an E30 on Page 3:

But what I'm finding is in this position, only one of the top holes meets the bulkhead! Because of the curved profile of the bulkhead there's a gap of about 5 or 6 mm behind the other too. I can't for the life of me figure out how they've got it to fit in the picture! Any pointers anyone?

I have heard reports of dodgy fitting best to contact OBP as in the past i have had a doggy pedal box from them which they replaced

Cheers Jason. Not sure where I stand with them on this seeing as it is second hand, but I'll give it a shot.

Sussed it. Compared box to installation drawings on obp website and was bang on. My floorpan was bent! Compared it with passenger side and noticed a suspicious looking bulge about where the throttle used to be. Possibly as a result of being jacked up from the pads under the floorpan? Anyway 10 mins of panel beating saw floorpan profile restored and box fits much better.
