I'm going to be using a modified version of the Roadster perdal box. It's DIY obviously but certainally cheap. I cannot comment personally on any commercial product but OBP seem to have a decent reputation.

Got mine from amazon

ye just saw that, looks good price on there!

i bought mine from someone who's not longer making bits. Got it cheap. Mate bought a luego gold package. I thought he'd paid over the odds.

He got the better deal. Better quality, looked nicer (although basically identical). I've wasted far more time making mine fit.

OBP one looks identical to the one he bought from leugo (strange that! ) and i'd buy direct from them if i was doing it again.

Second place would be Chris's book if you wanted to make your own. I've read it and am stealing ideas for my ron champion locost - well worth the pennies.

ye ive heard alot about parts form chris' book so i guess ill order it later! since my chassis is a bit of a self deisgn anyway i can steal bits from both books! plus im doing irs so would be useful to have chris' book for some ideas on that as i dont really want to mess that up!

Mike R , I think the reason that the OBP pedal box looks like the old Luego one is because Grant form old Luego runs OBP. Sorry if I'm teaching to suck eggs

Rusty, I was aware - hence the comment in brackets "(strange that )"
