Right, now I've ordered my new brakes it's time to install the pedal box from OBP as well, and get things together again!

I've checked the drivers footwell, and I need to take the original pedals off and carefully cut/grind the associated welded-on brackets off the lower box section for a fresh mount of the pedal box.

However, and this is my question to you all, the bulkhead panel has had a big hole (and 4 subsequent smaller holes for the mounting bolts) for the Sierra then Fiesta M/C. These holes don't line up with any of the holes i'd need to drill for the new twin M/C setup, so my query is this; can I cut a horizontal strip off the bulkhead panel and mount the pedal box with nuts & bolts on the top edge? Will the thickness of the pedal box itself be sufficient for me stomping my foot on the brake pedal?

Or as an alternative, do I just mark out and drill the new holes required, and ignore the previous cut-outs (keeping as much of the original material as possible)?

My concern is that the side panels are already riveted and bonded in place (not by me, I hasten to add), and it's gonna be a real pain to take the whole bulkhead/footwell panel off and weld a new one on with this in place.

Options or suggestions greatly received!

I have had an OBP pedal box fitted to my MK indy.

Parts of the Bulk head were cut away and re-welded. A "strengthening" bar was also welded just in front of the pedalbox to prevent it flexing.
