    clutch upgrade

    Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried a hydraulic concentric clutch release bearing conversion. can it be done? is there a bearing available with the same pcd of the bearing slider tube in the type 2 gearbox?

    steering rack conversion

    I've completed the rack conversion using the rose bearing joint, I first used a m12 joint which worked fine but looked a bit weedy compared to the rest of the steering gear so I've fitted am 16 joint instead and it looks a lot better. the steering works fine but I have not used it on the road yet.

    cargo floor panels

    HI has anyone any experience of fitting new lhd cargo floor panels to a rhd bay? Im unsure whether to reverse them or cut and weld. reversing the pressings may look crap and cutting will involve a few very long welds, which may look crap. any thoughts please?
