Late to the fold but I have just acquired an 86 Syncro Rhd converted panel van Jx turbo it's more of a project than a runner but it's a keeper ( one of the 208 gang;-) )

Thank you very much gentlemen I've managed to order the luk clutch kit from Gsf with Brian's part number for the Quattro I will update when fitted just in case of spline issues fingers crossed all will be good. Next job in the coming months will be to source an exhaust system or make a stainless one...
