If you have someone who can fabricate the tubular subframes or if you
can do it yourself ,you can space the mounting tabs to accept any
commercially made board you want to use.
The sub frames could be made from a combination of steel tube and flat
stock properly welded and metal finished you couldn't tell them apart
from originals.
If you don't have a pair for a model I can measure up a pair of mine
and send you some drawings to help in fabrication. I have been thinking
about makung a couple dozen sets of these over winter.
Of course you will still need control levers and they could also be
made from weldments ,provide you use a CAPABLE weldor. You can use the
stock brake lever,it will work. Again some good metal detailing and
chrome plating will get you a good pedal . The rest of the linkage
should be pretty straightfoward .
Foot boards are very easy to like ,it sure is hard for most folks to go
back to pegs ! :-)
