Here's what I have, as I said I wanted people to be able to do it at home. So after I had to use a lathe I stopped documenting the build sorry. Here is the converted pedal box and an original

Thanks for the updated pics! Nice job! It seems to sit tucked out of the way nicely. I was concerned it would hang down below the dash and look ugly.

 

I have a lathe and a mill so the machine work shouldn't be a problem. 

 

So ref wiring it in, could you tell me what was involved?

 

Many thanks

Stu

Hiya Stu

 

The wiring is easy 

As far as I know, there are 3 different control types

 

1 with a little controlled potentiometer

 

2 one that used GPS 

  

3 This one that uses the force applied to the wheeled potentiometer inside

One of the thing I had to bodge, was this, as I couldn't find a splined coupler for the bottom on the corsa PAS unit.

 

This is the top part of the UJ that come with the Corsa unit

If you do decide to do it, feel free to use this post to ask questions and I can guide you through it

I cant remember why I cut this so short? 

This is something that may not needed to be done
