Hey gang, I'm toying with the idea of converting my old beater Baja to RHD for a postal job I've taken. I was thinking of doing a partial conversion that would use the pedals from a RHD beetle (1970ish), but use a bracket with a belt or chain to control the steering wheel and seperate switch for turn signals. I wouldn't have to convert the dash or steering box that way. Anyway, my question is about the brake pedal? Is all that is involved is drilling the appropriate sized holes for the master cylinder and mounting bolts? Then of course a rerouting of the brake lines and reservoir. Possibly a new stop tab on the floor to keep the clutch or brake pedal from coming back too far?
Any comments or suggestions? I was told by an ex-rural postal driver that a beetle was the best delivery vehicle he ever had. I've got a gas heater I can install as well. I worry about the repeated wear on the clutch mechanism, but since this is Saturdays and occasional fill-in days, it wouldn't be seeing a lot of continuous use. Thanks for the input. I really need to know about the master cylinder issue. Thanks! NQ _______________________________________________ vintagvw site list [email protected] http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vintagvw
