I have no probs braking with my right in an auto, what gets me is everytime I jump in an auto I go to press the clutch pedal down to start the thing.

I won't be fitting the brakes myself as I go in for an operation soon. I handed the job over to someone else while I'm in hospital. The struts were previously in a 1200, so they're already set up perfectly.
DTW, I'd love some photo's of your gear bro.

If it helps any I'm using 200B front struts with girlock calipers. I'll try the LB as it sounds an easier job. Cheers boys.

What boosters and master cylinders fit? I've been offered a 200B master and booster but want to be sure it bolts up without need to modify anything before I take it.

You're right, not many engineers would want to touch that one, but it can be done. My brothers '81 beamer weighs something like 1800 kilos, more than enough weight to warrant a V8.
Where there's a will, there's a way.

Yeah, the cleaning bit got me, the dude who has it now didn't do it. Water won't clean much off the inside of a cylinder.

I got one of the chart for ya. You can fit a 302 Windsor V8 to it. Has to be Windsor as the Clevo block is to tall. You're best to do the conversion yourself, as paying for something like this adds up real quick.
I've seen a few with 12A and 13B rotors in 'em, but rotors ain't motors. Bloody chook cookers!!!

It's a 1200. The engine is seized due to water in the cylinder (it was being 'cleaned' and someone decided to crank her over without checking). It is completely original however and I would have rebuilt it before transplanting it in my beast regardless of condition.

Converting my 1200 to front discs with girlock calipers so I need a booster and master cylinder. PM me if you're willing to part.
