        I found the longest 1/4" socket extension i could find, with some wobble bits - out it came, but it still needed brute force to pull it off the brake pedal. 😉

                Even though it won't be seen, i thought while it was apart I'd give some bits a liberal coating of hammerite - keep the rust at bay. But now I've run out...

                  ABL sump with a good coating.
                  I don't care about the 'finish', it ain't no show stopper! 😁

                      Engine mount holes need to be tapped, along with a few other holes on the block. My old set just wasn't man enough - it'll chase out threads, but couldn't cut new ones very well.

                          Pedal box modifications now complete...

                          Bracket and second hand throttle pedal purchased from an eBay geezer due to them being obsolete now from VW.

                          I think I've got the potentiometer in the right position, maybe a bit of adjustment might be needed once back in the van.

                          Pics...

                              Thanks mate... I tried to take lots of pictures, but there's bits I've not managed to capture.
