looking for ideas for pedals and other items within the cockpit.

what gauges, idiot lights and other items have you got in your FED

fabricated items rather than bought re pedals, living in the UK don't have the same access to supliers and Junkyards

Keep it simple.
Going down the track you really need no gauges, you will not want to look down.

If you will be driving to and from the pits you will want a temp gauge, RPM is nice but not really needed, oil pressure is not needed if you have a low oil pressure light.

I have all three gauges because I did not know better, but probable would have put them in just for the looks.

So in the picture below there is oil pressure, rpm, temp. switches are fan, water pump, ignition, fuel pump (this is an older picture, no more fuel pump as it mechanical injection now)

On the air scoop I had shift and low oil pressure lights.

On the steering wheel is air shift and trans brake.

I have an oil pressure gauge on the back of the motor.  My shift light is on the back of the injector (line of sight).  Inside the car, i have a fire bottle activation knob, a mag kill, a starter button, and a fuel push/pull.  Throttle pedal is a simple bottom pivot pedal.  No left side pedal.  FEDs should have hand brakes. 

:)

I can take pictures of any part you'd like to see.

As we are racing vintage style, we have chosen old Sun gauges, and really want to hide the modern stuff.
The space are tight, but works. hand brake on the right, shifter on the left.
