The pedal box holds the dual master cylinder in the earlier Sprites and Midgets (MkI-III Sprite & MkI-II Midget). Over time, if your master cylinder leaks (which throughout the years is a common occurrence) then the fluid will sit in the box and deteriorate the paint. Also, if the box has been sitting quite some time, then they can rust up and be difficult to spruce up when it comes time to change the master.
Don't forget to get a new pedal pivot bolt & bushing kit while you're replacing your pedal box!
