Floor mounted reversed 3 pedal box

Looking for a 3 pedal reversed pedal box for a project.

Ideally AP or tilton would be good, but happy to consider obp etc.

Something similar to this.

I have heard of someone having trouble bleeding m/cyls that were not vertical.

Unfortunately this is the only kind of floor mounted box I can fit into the space I have, I can't get my seat back far enough to compensate for the masters on the other side of the pedal box

No room to mount one with pedals coming from the top.

Been told floor mounted is the way to go, much stiffer mounted and gives better pedal feel?

No rigidity issues with a properly mounted pendant set up. Also makes servicing etc much easier.

Ok I'll ask my shell fabrication guy why he feels it has to be floor mount.

Much more options for overhung!

I made a reverse floor mounted pedal box a couple of months ago for a single seater. Although it was neat and compact. It was a real pain for serviceability....

It would just work best with the shape of my floor and to get the pedal box right back to give extra leg room!

Still looking!

I asked this question as my donor has top mounted pedals and I want to reuse them. The best answer was that a floor mounted set up mimics the movement of the foot, but apart from that it seemed very much down to the installer/installation.

sorted now thanks.
