Hi, I have seen this somewhere but can't remember, could someone please point me in the right direction for the soft pedal conversion on the Renault 5 GT Turbo.
Many thanks

What do you need to know mate? I have it in paper form?

I need the part numbers. I read a thread a while ago and it listed all the bits and the part numbers and prices, but for the life of me I can't remeber! Joys of getting old!

Cheers

Wasn't the ''soft pedal'' conversion just the longer 11 turbo clutch fork?...

would also need to extend the mount holding the g/b end
of the cable i would imagine :confused:

dunno about that, but parts are used on volvos, and 172's etc.

[Chris Hebden]

The numbers i posted above are for the Volvo arm, not sure about other fitments

Ok, so it may not be a Renault item, but the ''softer'' motion comes from the fork itself.

Indeed, Andy, I wouldn't expect you to take the burden on though...:D

[Chris Hebden]

Yea my understanding is that the fork is longer therefore more leverage, less stress on the cable blah blah
