If its just the pedal you need, i may have one.

i have already agreed a price for one with anthony thanks but if that falls through for whatever reason i will bear you in mind thanks

right i have finnally got m money for my gearbox change and im going for the vts conversion but im going to fit a 205 diff instead of 'bodging' the inner drive shaft just wondering if i still need a dual vss

yes you do still need the dual VSS if you are using the gti6/vts engine management.

You dont need a be3 clutch arm just the fork. I'm using the VTS arm and its fine.

[welshpug 1,666]

you do need the arm IMO, it places the cable end fitting at the wrong angle and it hits the casing before reaching full travel.

Hasn't given me any grief but not saying youre wrong!

The later type arm can be modified with careful (or otherwise) use of a grinder to stop it fouling the casing - here's one I prepared earlier...

 

 

Works nicely after that and gives good clutch feel/action, although clearly in preference I'd rather have used the correct arm.
