James Greg...
I'll take it off your hands.
Figure out shipping $$ to 06801 (Connecticut) and I'll post a cashiers check to you.
Your squatting speedster is a beauty Greg...try to remember if those short over riders are a KG item...I don't think they're from a bug.

Carl - I have the same kit in my car. If you have any issues with limited travel on the slave cylinder, it is easy to fabricate a longer master cylinder pushrod. I had to do that. It took a couple of tries to get the right length, but I really like it now.

OK I'll ship em in one of those usps prepaid or priority boxes. I'll let you know the total. Your payment method is ok, but paypal would be easier if you have paypal.
The little overriders are:

keep in mind that you have to hack them up quite a bit to get them to fit the profile of the speedster bumper.

USPS medium box prepaid priority mail looks like the way to go. That adds $11.00.
OK?
gbilles@yahoo.com is my paypal email address.

Carl:
I'll send it today.
As to why I didn't like the hydraulic set up:
Background:
MY Speedster is based on a 70 VW pan. The clutch assy is a Kennedy stage 1 set up. the throwout brg is stock early type(for clutch plate with collar). The Throwout brg. cross shaft is a CB performance HD unit (same dims as a stock VW only heavier material)
Clutch pedal is stock VW unit with new, stock hook installed.
Installation:
I HATED cutting a window in the Pan. There is no other way to install this set up without the window.
Having the master cylinder inside the Pan tunnel seemed a little strange but the design of this kit mandates that placement.
THIS PART IS KEY--->To get enough travel to disengage the clutch I had to adjust the pedal stop (stock type 1 pan arrangement)to lean the pedals BACK a little. I had them set up before this so that they were straight up and down.
Note here: Lane will tell you to make a new push rod that is longer. That wasn't the problem in my case. the geometry of the stock pedal assy and clutch hook is adequate (barely) to get enough travel to disengage the clutch.
It is recommended to use SACos bracket on the tranny to hold the slave cylinder (I used the stock VW one, then one I made myself)
After installing and bleeding and bleeding and bleeding and adjusting everything, I got it to work.
I guess I'm a little old school VW, but it just felt too mushy or wierd. It works OK, just not what I'm used to in a VW.
And when I called SAco for help, they pretty much said something on this order...
"Dude... it works ok for us. Maybe it doesn't work because you're not using it for what it was designed for." I wasn't impressed with them....
If you run into problems, Lane or myself can offer assistance or suggestions... Dude!
