    Has anyone done this? just the clutch, as i have the gaping firewall hole issue going on. Empi sells some nice cylinders/reseviors that i have been looking at. Just wondering if anyone has done this and how they placed the cylinder, as the brake booster is quite large. I could also get the pedal with the reservoir attached, but then i would have to cut out the oem clutch pedal and mount the new one in line with my other pedal, and I dont think there is enough room under there for all of that.
    Any tips, advice, pics, etc wouldbe helpful.
    Thanks,

    Mike

    From Google

    It's more work than is worth it just to fix the hole. If you were going to an 02A, I think it'd be worth it.

    I have a large gash in the firewall, so I either have to redo the cable so it doesnt happen again, or figure something else out. The conversion isnt hard really, have done several for bajas, rails, etc. I was looking to see if it had been done.

    The guide tube broke off of your pedal cluster. Weld it back on or get a new pedal cluster.
