HI, ive managed to find a five speed box/driveshafts/linkage/Shifter. Im all sorted on getting these fitted (the easy Part). Now i need to fit a clutch pedal and master cylinder, I can see that im gonna need a a bracket to hold it. Just wondered how the feck I go about it? Any help with this would be awesome. Cheers leroy.

get hold of a complete manual pedal set would be easiest rather than modifying the autos, billy739 or mick nwvw should hsve them I'd expect

Cheers buddy. Thanks for the advice.

dont forget manual throttle pedal and clutch pipe

dash will need to come out to swap pedal box- not difficult but time consuming

dont forget to get the brake fluid resivor and pipe work to the clutch master cylinder

presume you have a flywheel /clutch /starter motor/gearbox mount/starter motor bolt/spigot bearing/flywheel bolts

carb or fuel injection throttle linkage will also need swapping

you will also need to block some cooling pipes off

a while since i looked at an auto but there is probably a couple of other things

i should have all these bits to go!

if you pop up in your van i can defo tell you what you need and probably supply them( manual van to break)

Im halve way through an AGG conversion

Throttle cable is sorted, my fluid reservoir has an outlet for the clutch fluid but its capped.

The gearbox is all bolted on to the AGG ready to go in.

I have 10m of copper pipe and some couplings.

Ive got a guy on ebay sorting out the clutch master cylinder bracket and pedal for me, and ive brought a new master cylinder from Tierod on ebay (if it ever turns up!)

I was planning on taking the dash out soon anyway, so i guess that just speeds up the decision! Thanks for the advice Its much appreciated!!

So today my clutch/Break assembly arrived, so out came the dash took the single break pedal assembly off. no problem.

I put the new master cylinder on,....... Uh oh. No push rod!! Dammit!

Ive messaged the guy who sold me the assembly to see if he still has the push rod, if not "frell" knows!!

Got the Pedal box all fitted in today. Wasnt that difficult, just fiddly!!

However as i suspected after reading on here, ive got the wrong diameter brake pipe. and unions!

Ordered the correct ones from brickwerks today. so hopefully will be able to finish this job up soon!

Also got a couple of genuine VW pedal rubbers to throw on looks tidy now.

For anyone else thats doing this conversion, you have to change the drive shafts, as they're a different length on an auto.

Also when your running the clutch pipe bend the pipe for the master cylinder end first then thread it through the hole from inside, otherwise its imposssible to do it the otherway!
