Looking for opinions and advise on the two. I've read lot's about the Rally Design version, which seems to be the popular one these days with numerous local/eBayAU sellers selling them, but not all good reading. Seems there are too many issues with the RD version.

Havn't heard/read much good or bad on the Gartrac version. Would like to know from people who've had experience with the Gartrac (or both) pedalboxes, good or bad.

Gartrac MK2 Escort.

Is the Rally Design pedalboxes so popular because of price?? Availability?? Better??
Based on a MK2 hydraulic cluth version, $765 for Gartrac version including delivery from UK, and $600 plus delivery charges from a local supplier, there's not much difference really.

Gartrac made parts for the works rally teams in the 70s and 80s. That's good enough for me.

Do you need the hydraulic clutch version?

gartrac seem to have the more factory look with the pedals and all

Yeah, that's a bonus, as well as the RalDes version pedals are slightly higher positioned and a ittle forward than the Gartrac. This is what I've heard anyway? True or false?

When i worked at Quickco we used to get the Gartrac items or Burtons in the early days(1990+) before making our own, RalDes's look kind of cheap, they prolly do the same job tho. Now I make up my own as i need them

martymexico, since you worked with the Gartrac and RelDes boxes, what complaints or faults did you hear of / know of? Do you make yours to Gartrac spec's with OE pedals ect?

I'm surprised Smacka has dropped in yet

I prefer the OEM look of the Gartrac unit.

I have the Rally Design unit and the accel pedal doesn't sit nicely like OEM. The old heel toe is alot harder.
I think I'll end up removing my pedal and modifying it.

There's more than two companies making these things. Here are some links to a few, all of which are cheaper than the Gartrac one.
