Hi Craig,

If you're swapping the pedal box check the clutch quadrant - the coloured plastic semi-circular thingy !    There are several sizes of them which look very similar but the groove for the clutch cable may be deeper or shallower.  If it's working OK  on the original then keep the same size quadrant.  Officially the colour should determine what size it is but it is worth double checking. 

Have a look at this  -     https://nw.rhocar.org/buildtips/clutchpawls.htm

The deeper the groove the less travel on the cable and the further you need to press the pedal to release the clutch.  On some 2Bs, with the deeper groove, you can run out of pedal travel before the clutch releases. 

Hope this makes sense 🤪
