Hi all,
OK, the IRS is now all back together (see other posts) - so I decided to assemble as much of the pan as I can in an effort to make me feel like I am getting somewhere...
... everything went fine - despite the clutch cable being one of the most difficult things to fit on a Beetle. That is until I realised that I would have to move the clutch guide tube and accelerator guide tube so that the cables will clear the back of the Kombi box...no major problem though....
Then I went to connect the clutch cable to the gearbox (just so it wasn't floating around in mid-air)....this is when I realised that the standard Beetle clutch cable isn't long enough any more 🙁 It's about 2 inches too short.
I spent half an hour at the workshop where my Brother works this arvo, comparing clutch cables from various models of VW and I think that a Type III clutch cable will come very close...but I'm not certain.
So, those of you who have done this conversion, what clutch cable do you use? I realise that the cable will be a little closer to fitting once I re-locate the guide tubes, but I still don't believe that it will fit....
Any suggestions?
