couple of other things i forgot,

frount engine mount bracket  ( off anythign cable change )
and starter as cabel change boxes have a diffrent one
you may or may not need dioffrent speedo cable

found something called,
push rod / for mechanical clutch operation/ ABF (02A141728)
on an online parts thing lol

sounds like the right part  i'll have a look back have all the p/n's   somewhere

as for the differance in the flywheel,  it's  competly  diffrent  it's  the traditional type  flywheel bolts to cranck  pressure plate to flywheel and operated by  bearing on lever, rather than the arse about face arangement used on 020 boxes.    the gearbox mounting bracket  holds the clutch cabel on the seat setup you can use a 1.3 cable and weld bits to the normal cable change gearbox mount bracket  but i thought that the oem route would be better as it's off the shelf parts and hasstel free fitting

the mounting brackets bolt upto std mk2 golf mounts  not 100% sure on roccos

chould post some piccys up of the build on my car as it's useing all the seat bits for the cabel change & the engine 
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

pictures would be great if you have them, looks like quite alot of parts...will need to price it all up before buying the box as i dont want to spent too much on it at the moment.

Should be able to get the cable change system bits off a passat, but the flywheel isn't goin to be easy to get, and think new ones will be expensive (unless the passat one is the same? loads of them in scrappy's) also surely the passat starter should fit too (unless the flywheel is diff on the passat and seats)

cheers again

Front engine mount bracket from an 02a car isnt any good, wont fit a rocco.  However I think the oem one will fit, but thats not the main issue! There are no oem gearbox brackets available that will allow you to mount a cable shift box into a MK1 based car.  There are custom parts around but aint cheap:

Speedo cable you need a MK1 1.0-1.3 one, and same with clutch cable I think?  There was someone saying about a random vaux cable that works iirc, I'll try to dig out the info.

mk3 easier to fit? will i just need the friction plate to match for that one? or is it cable change too? the casing looks the same so rocco mounts should fit?

cheers
