bugger easter next wend and i gunna havta fix this bugger

has anybody used or fitted a hydro conversion ? i have found the saco unit .is anybody in oz selling a similar one for rhd cars that is a bolt in unit?

I've never heard of a Hydraulic clutch conversion....

Some people may have done it... but Why??

The clutch cable tube needs to be rewelded.... and

I'm Not sure if this can be done without cutting open the top of the tunnel.... I'm not sure exactly how many welds there are at the end....

My Sons came loose a few years ago....

I read lately that early model beetles had a panel in the floor behind the rear seat that could be opened.... unbolted-

Could come in handy in some situations....

Re weld the inner clutch tube.

You have to use a hole saw to cut hole near the brackets and re weld them

theres a cut away floor pan on the Qld vw club web site that shows where the bracket are located.

Hmm bugger... I have just discovered my Country Buggy clutch tube is 'free' at the front.... just repainted the floorpan, too and I DON'T want to cut it😠

This is the site your after- Dave also diagnosed my clutch cable tube break some time ago (Tx Dave). http://vwdcqinc.org.au/insideabug.html

Repair is as Dave mentioned, Also Aussiebug gave me a good description on where to cut when I queried this repair

Turned out mine had broken away from both the from weld down by the pedals and the second weld just below and back from the handbrake lever. If you do the welding, watch the fuel line!
