Another option is the new bars and hydraulic mounts as stocked by MV Engineering.

so I take it you are still parts hunting and haven't started the conversion yet?

I'm so glad I did mine, been getting 37mpg and I much prefer the wider torque band of the Tdi

Just fitted the VSS and brake pedal switches, so now just fitted the cruise control ready for the run to Camerjam this weekend 8)
