This project has been like a long, drawn-out game of chess. I've been staring at the board, making some early moves to gain position, acquiring material, and planning elaborate combinations in order to hopefully end with a victory.
In chess you often have multiple pieces set up with attacks directed toward a single same piece, such as a pawn. The pedal box was in this predicament! Can't do the brake lines without the brake master cylinder, which needs the pedal box. Can't do the front brakes without the brake switch, which needs the brake lines, which needs the pedal box. Can't install the engine without the transmission, which needs the clutch slave cylinder, which needs the clutch master cylinder, which needs the pedal box.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that yep, the pedal box had to be the first component. If we installed it first, the entire project would unfold from there, and quickly!
