In that case this will work fine .Merlydog said:Cable is free as a bird Simon yepIt actually worked fine with the og lever I had but that had started to get grooves in it, I'd bodged it with washers and spacers one too many times to try and salvage it, so it was time for a new one. That's when it all started :shock:

Can I just check that it will definitely fit an early 68MY? I bought a few bits a while back to replace worn parts but I seem to remember that the linkage I had was pretty different to what was on the VWHeritage site diagrams so the parts didn't fit :roll:
I guess I need to crawl under the bus at some point and have a look
Top man, that's the kind of service I like
I'll put in an order now although I probably wont be fitting for a couple of months. Hope that is still ok!Sure it is .67westy said:butty said:Im pretty sure it will fit .

Ha Ha i thought i was the queue lol. My mate did an awesome Mitsibishi L300 custom pedal conversion that works great but just takes a long time and a lot of mucking around to do it.sparkywig said:mozzie said:

Rhd ones are being looked at , bit more work , and i`m not 100% sure exactly what the issues are with them .
The long rods are at the platers now , i have rose joints sorted . I think you can use the same pivot plate as the lhd ones . So these shafts are adjustable in length , and the pedal rod is the same as the lhd one aswell , so i think i am getting close , but i am also working on rhd split bus ones aswell ...... :roll:

Rhd earlybay kit fitted .....
Fitted up nice and easy , had an issue with the pedal being worn was pushing the pivot over on full throttle but sorted now .
The long rod is adjustable so tweeking is very easy to do .
Anyone fitting any of these kits please make sure your pedal and hinge is in good order .

Sweet :mrgreen: are these ready to go or still at prototype stage? Maybe I can have full use of my throttle soon :lol:

I would ideally like to fit another bus with one , im a little concerned with the fact that most buses have had the repair kit fitted and that means the original mount has to be cut off and a new one welded on , my concern is that its hard to weld the mount on so i think that not all buses will have the mount in the correct place ...
If any of you rhd owners can and have the time take a picture of the swivel/mount on your bus and mail it to me ... [email protected]
The part i need info on is the top hat section welded to the underside of the cab floor . Once i have a bit more info i can finalise the finished kit .

Fantastic and highlights the issues that are out there , and the issues im going to have if i start selling these . Is easier with the LHD boys and girls because the mount on the floor is never touched . Same goes for splits .vw_mad said:
Where is it you live ? If i had your bus for an hour or two i could sort it out a treat im sure . Keep the pictures coming guys . All helps me to work out whats going on out there .
