Yeah, I saw those. The UK guy had a clutch master, larger clutch slave, and this '69 clutch slave also. The other two sold recently I think. I believe Kirk Knighton evaluated the clutch master, and it turned out it is a mirror image of the LHD one? If you look in the ebay stores, there is somebody selling a clutch slave also. I've got plenty for now. Also, if you look on the samba.com, there is somebody in Sarasota with a 412 wagon and 4dr. sedan for sale whole or parting.

Correction, I believe it is a 2dr. sedan from the pictures, $150 for the whole car! I'm moving to Atlanta soon, actually, but Sarasota is still really damn far from there... :evil:

Great! Glad they found a good home!! But are you really using the golden ticket 412 4speed tranny in a sand rail??? I thought they were getting to be rare, no parts and need mods to keep from being trashed? I'm sure it kicks butt in the rail though!! My old 4 speed 412 toke abuse from me racing my car through a clutch and having it put in rev. gear without the clutch in and teeth breakin but after a pan flush and havin a little winey sound for a while it still hung in there for me! bill

Well, I think outside North America, the 4 speed is more common, being available in all of the models, instead of just the 2dr. sedan as was the case here.
