since Rich is away on hols....im fitting my cross shaft to the bellhousing.

Im using the turbo cross shaft and T25 hydraulic clutch set up but need to source the 'fitting kit' that provides the plastic bushing for the cross shaft.

Can anyone confirm whether the Heritage kit here...no 9
http://www.vwheritage.com/vwh/Bus-Parts-1968-79/Gearbox-Clutch/Clutch-Parts/?templateID=vwh
will fit the RJES turbo cross shaft?

or can anyone tell me are the 2ltr and 1600 cross shafts the same diameter? as i know RIch makes them from 2ltr ones.

obv I will ask heritage but on past results they dont know too much with this sort of query!

the 1600 are smaller diameter,and vw do them as well Wink

the kit looks right (if its the right diameter of course)

cheers DG... it looks like im going to have to find someone with a spare 2ltr bellhousing / crossshaft as the 2ltr kit doesnt exist....

alternatively im hoping some missing bits for my lathe turn up so i can make my own.

rjes used my 1600 cross shaft i think they are the same on a late 1600 bay box as a 2l one
