Q: Caterham Pedal box depth?

[SkinnyG]

Can someone throw a tape measure on one of these, and tell me what the overall length is?

Early Lotus were about 6", but this looks longer - maybe 9"?

 

Thanks.

SV or standard? The picture appears to be a RHD car, will a LHD measurement be the same? Exactly where do you want the measurement to be taken?

I'm after a standard chassis, if there is a difference. L/RHD should be the same.

Is this a picture of your car? Would you like to be included on the Canadian Caterham Owners List?

No, this is a picture of my car:

It's not really a Caterham, so I'd have to decline.

Thanks for the clarification. 7 1/4" on my '04 SV with LHD.

 

The S-3 Caterhams are smaller but I don't have a measurement for them. I ordered a new pedal box cover and when it arrived it was an obvious non-fit. I returned it for the correct one.

My standard size LHD chassis measures 7".

Thanks so much!

I got 6 3/4 inches (by placing a ruler up to your arrows on my computer screen, don't thank me:)).

When Caterham went to this style master cylinder/pedal mount some time in the later 80s they offered a retrofit kit for older cars to provide a sealed (?) firewall upgrade. Sadly they have been out of production for quite a while or this would have been an easy answer to your pedal/master cylinder mounting issues.

 

I have an early ('74-75) short cockpit S3 Cat basketcase that was missing these components as well, have so far come up short in finding a kit or parts other than the aluminum casting of the older style.

 

If anyone has any pieces around... missing the pedals as well.

Or can someone send me a sketch with the appropriate dimensions so I can fab my own? I do have access to pedals that I can pull a pattern from.

 

Thanks
