Yeah, me too... it was funksoulkitty's webby that first got me thinking about it, but hers is a Mk1.
Link to her bits n bobs for Mk1 owners, although I do wonder how much similarity there is. I don't know Mk1's at all so can't really comment :D
http://www.funksoulkitty.org/shockypage ... ctemp.html - it is NOT for a standard transmission though, but I'd have thought the principle will be the same regardless... push pedal... hydraulics do magical gubbins, move clutch mechanism, plus it gets around the whole "knackered clutch cable sawing your Rocco in half" routine.
