My rail has the standard floor mount beetle pedals and I'd like to replace rather than fix . Don't want a new OBP or similar set as
a) they will be probably replaced again when I do the MX5 install.
b) too expensive.

So does anyone know of production cars that have a fairly self contained floor mount pedal box set up that I can hunt for from a breakers? Most seem to be bulkhead mount.

Why not repair the beetle ones? Simple to fix and work well too

TVR Tuscan and the various Porsche are the only ones I've found so far - but even grotty used parts are chuffin pricey . Lots of modern German cars have just the throttle floor hinged.

The main issue with the VW is the single master cylinder is too long and fouls the fuel tank, that and I dislike the dodgy looking remote reservoir connections on it. Pedals are in the wrong place anyway so If I can pull it all out and replace with modern install that would be great. Ideally with dual cylinders. 

I might have to pony up for an OBP set and switch to a hydraulic clutch from the start.

Given that you may actually use that Rail in anger, I think that would be the most sensible option  ;)
