pedal box
Hi guys
I have a low cost low tec pedal box made from original escort that I broke up hundreds of years ago.Does it need to have a top or
lid on it for SVA.

I think you have to have the passenger compartment sealed from the engine bay - in case of fire etc....

How sealed is sealed? Mine isn't waterproof, fireproof or even spider proof - do I have a problem?

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Mine certainly isn't waterproof!
I just think I read somewhere about it being able to act as a firewall (even a short term one)
Just think if the engine caught fire as you were driving along, you could probably stop and get out in just a few seconds. But if the burning fuel was
spraying all over your feet cos there was no lid on your pedal box, you might wish you'd had a go at making one!
Just my thoughts
Cheers

MIne has holes for the column and trottle pedal. Passed SVA no problems. Only require firewall for motorsport.

I disn't have one at all and passed no problem.
A GRP scuttle wouldn't be a firewall anyway.

Not a requirement but a very good idea to do if you value your own skin.

Mine was open but I sealed it to keep some heat out as my feet were melting 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
