Just a quick question, putting a NV V6 into my 1985 VK commodore my vk is an auto just now but i have a T5 for the V6, can i use the VN pedal boxes on the VK?

No you can't use A VN pedal box. You need a V8 pedal box from VB-VK. Good luck finding one. Dellow will convert an auto pedal box for about $330. They state it must be a V8 auto pedal box, don't know if there is any difference between 6&8 pedal boxes.

Mate I recently picked a up a V8 pedal box for a VK off ebay. They do come up occassionally. Expect to pay around the $250 mark. The other option is Dellows but there are postage cost involved as well so more like $375 all up. Good Luck.

Apparently the 6cyl pedal boxes are fine. I'm using a 6cyl one in my VK with a T5. The VK clutch cable fits the T5 as well. Seems a bit soft at the moment, but still got heaps of adjustment which will hopefully fix it. Haven't started it yet tho so don't know for sure.

ok cheers guys. What about the VN brake booster? can i use that?

[NPreston]

I started off with a 6 cylinder pedal box, extremely light with no feel and very long pedal travel. I also had trouble adjusting it so it would fully disengage the clutch, that part may have been due to the type of clutch I am using. But ditch the pedal box and get a V8 one. You can increase the length of the clutch pedal at the top on the 6 cylinder pedal but then you run into problems with the cable where it passes through the firewall.

ok so to play the saftest option its best to get a VK V8 manual pedal box?

You wouldn't like the feel or take up of the 6 cylinder pedal box. Any V8 pedal box from VB-VK will fit. You can use the VN booster provided the master cylinder bolts up to it. Somebody on the forum here said there were two types of 1" master cylinder. The new one I purchased bolted straight up to my VC booster.
