I'm no expert,... but from what I've read in the past it's easier to find a manual pan and swap them over.
I'm sure people who know will chime in soon.

thanks,but from what I have researched the main pan difference is the clutch cable tube,the manual shifter apparentely can bolt into the auto tunnel
and of course the pedals need to be swapped,yes would be easy to swap pans but would have to find a manual one

Afraid I don't know the difference in the pans, but I have three manual floor pans for sale complete with pedals etc.
You are welcome to buy one - or just come and take measurements so you can convert your pan.
Have plenty of Fastback, Notchback & Squareback parts for sale also.
Located at Greenbank on Brissy Southside.
Cheers,
Mark.

the fun
