Hi guys just a quick question, will a TE71 pedal box bolt into an AE85? AND is $150 a reasonable price?
Thanks heaps

150 is way way too much

and no it won't fit into an AE85

this is because most te71's (possibly some exceptions) have steering box style steering not rack and pinion like ae85's, the clutch pedal is therefore different

is this for a hydraulic clutch conversion?

because if you already have a manual AE85 pedal box, it will work with a hydraulic setup anyway (they already have the wee hole for the master cylinder to hook into on the clutch pedal)

The Te71 pedal box will fit with minor modification .

I have done the same mod to my AE85.
The box mounts up mint but the aft flange has to be cut off due fowling on the dash bar support .
One problem ive fownd is that having no aft mount can cause the fire wall to flex when excesive pressure is placed on the brake pedal.
To counter act this im making a brake master cylinder suport that bolts to either the strut tower or strut brace and the master cylinder.

The flex over time will cause work hardening of the fire wall steel and fracture/ cracking will appear .This isnt what you want so if you use the TE71 p/box make sure the job is done properly for $170.

The Factory cable pedal box can be modded to use a hyd master cylinder with about the same amount of effort and no added support is required.
Thats not including the moddification required for the hyd fitment tho.

Ive seen that done on a KP starlet.
