Thanks, I saw that before, tried it this morning,. wasnt successful, MoGolf came to my Rescue with the special tool for releasing the booster ball from the back side of the pedal...
unbolted the auto pedal from its pivot, loosened the brake booster from the firewall, popped the new 5 speed pedal into position and all is good with the world.
Kgirls bug is now officially a 5 speed. It drove around the block under its own power for the first time since MAY according to her. Car runs WELL! pulls nicely for 170 k miles. has no reverse lights, but everything else is as if it originally was a 5 speed.
now I need to make an order on impex for all of these misc bits... About $175 worth...

fun fun. its a lot of work, I applaud the guys who do a bunch of these.
Could not have done it without Mogolf, and without Compu_85, my resident (well 3.5 hours away) Wiring expert.
now to drive the car for a week or two to break in the new clutch. Look for the beetle to make it to Whitbreads GTG if some of these parts make it in time.
