Hi Tony,
I can't, and don't want, to control what people write or do - that is up to them, people can take the thread where they want - all is good.
The wedge has several advantages for this particular project, some of which you touch on above. I am quite happy with it, and the many others I have used, otherwise I would not proceed.
Were I to use one of the new boxes available, I would still have to wedge it (in two directions) so there really was no point, simple as that really.
I was working on another car just this morning that utilises a steering wedge for the exact same reasons. The raised brake pedal is desirable on that car too as the footwell is even more cramped than the Coupe.
The wedge I have is a copy of those sold by Speedex, I think. It is substantial shaped flat steel bar that it filled in completely on one side and partially on the other to allow access to tighten the brake pedal spigot. I have an original 1950's one if anyone wants to copy it.
