    Default Pedal box issues T5 into VH

    Hey guys,
    Im halfway doing a injected 304 conversion into my VH but have run into some small problems with my pedal box. The box out of the VN is different and nothing matches up? the VH was origonaly auto. Do I have to try find a VH manual pedal box? or could I use like a VL one?
    Cheers Mike

    Yep the VN pedal setup is way different. I'm unsure of the VL setup but i have put VK pedals into a VH. I doubt the VL would fit to tell you the truth

    Vl has hydraulic clutch so no go. You'll need to get a vb-VK v8 manual pedal box

    Im using a VK 6 cylinder peadl box in my VK with a T5 and it works fine.The pedal sits a little higher than the brake and accelerator pedals but after a while you dont even notice it

    If you use the 6 cyl pedals the clutch will either be really light and touchy or too heavy, as the differences in the pedals is the pivot point which changes the leverage you get. i dont remember which way around it is.

    It ends up being soft like there's no clutch.

    If any one wants I have a Vh v8 pedal box. Like said before rare and hard to get.make an offer I sold my conversion and Stil have this

    It feels shit. I think it's cause of the throw. Do it once do it rite. Saves pulling them out when you find v8 pedals

    Each to thier own.
    Im in NZ to Mike and couldnt find one.The six cyl one has worked fine for me.Feels sweet,works sweet.If you cant get an eight one use a six and if you dont like it you can always change it later...

    Can you change the VN pedals over to fit the VH box?
