Yeah same, where can i get these parts from? I sent rare spares a email, I couldnt find much on their website, I have a aussie 4 speed im wanting to put in.
Is the gearbox a pretty straight fit? and how do i go with the pedal box and the holes needed to be drilled into the firewall?
Help would be appreciated thanks guys.

What holes are drilled into the firewall every conversion I have done I just all bolts in!!! There is a manual conversion list of parts in the VB-VK area here, aussie 4 speed came in vhs yes it will bolt in. Start calling wreakers for pedal boxes, start close then get further away till you get one.

You can buy a clutch cable new, there is a spacer on the clutch cable on the engine bay side of the clutch cable.
I did my first manual conversion over 2 weekends just incase of problems, did the pedal box first as I could still drive the car the clutch pedal just sat on the floor. The following weekend I did the gearbox.

Okay sweeet mann! Yeah, This is my first major modification to my commie, and the first major thing i have done.
Do you think you could tell me a bit more about the conversion?
How do i go with the bellhousing and all? All i have is the gearbox, just the box and shifter, and what comes off the car.. Im not sure of what i need to keep.
Will the standard tailshaft fit nice?
How do i go about clutches and the parts inbetween the gearbox and the flywheel?
This is supposed to be my daily, so i would love to know and get everything together before i go and do it all so i wont have the car in parts.
Also, I could not find this list of parts for a conversion in the fourms?
Thanks again mate, Appreciated greatly.

dude search the forum its been covered before on a step by step, be prepards to run into snags along the way.
Install a new clutch & pressure plate, thrust bearing & spigot bush, have the flywheel machined. If its an aussie 4 speed run castrol vmx80 in it.

Search provides many results
