I haven't but it is done on a regular-ish basis. What do you need to know about it? Or just if it can be done?

If you want to buy a kit, talk to Burton Power. They sell all the bits needed. Or talk to Krismc on here. He's just gone through the fun of doing this.

so has NS Dev.

Basically you modify the bit in the middle of the gearbox where the input shaft goes. You put a Saab clutch release mechanism (which is your hydralic slave). Drill a hole in the bell housing and feed the pipes in there.

Burton do a kit which makes it easy.

ive done it and its pretty easy!

Burton do the kit, but dont by the mount kit and the holding kits- they are just bolts and washers!

You need a APC 5 nose and cylinder and a type 9 mount from burton

.....and a bleed kit(any will do) the burton one is expensive
