I have been reading the various threads on this conversion and I am quite interested in carrying this modification out. The question I would like to ask is this.

I am trying to find the gearbox that has a hydraulic clutch mechanism that is compatible with a VTS block. The reason for this is I want to change the pedal box and would be more comfortable with a hydraulic system as opposed to cable

Is there a definitive driveshaft/s that are known to be a direct fit rather than cutting / shortening other vehicle shafts. A budget for this mod is priority so I don't want to buy a shelf full of shafts in order to convert this , if this makes sense

The vehicle would be none ABS so I don't have a issue with ABS setup or mounting the sensor to the hub

What bearings are needed. I would rather turn the bearing size than reduce the hub flange down , which in my mind weakens the flange.

What is the plunge on the shafts etc.

Are standard bottom arms adequate for this conversion

I hope these questions make sense to some of you if not all. As normal your comments would be welcome.
