Pictures of pedal boxes from both of you please
Dave, so is the 0A3 a direct bolt on to the 40V V8? No adaptor plate needed? Amazing! |

I've not started on the clutch pedal fully yet just looked at it. My next job is the front driveshafts and if these do end up being custom made, they would probably take a few weeks to make so I need to order them when I'm happy with the length. But at the moment I'm looking through VAG Driveshaft catalogues trying to find OEM ones that fit. Yes Goran the box just bolts up fine using all the original bolts (just needs a stepped nut making for I think it was the starter side. At fist glance it looks like the speedo just needs a 8tooth (I need to check this before I start making one) trigger wheel off the n/s front inner tripod joint. At the moment I'm just fitting it in when I can no rush.

The 0A3 is fitted in the S4 with a 40v V8
The gearbox is a ZF unit model 466 and the same family as a Porsche Boxster and Cayman A4, A6, skoda superb ,so is a modular unit. Dave

I think its 4 tooth, or 4 magnets on a ring in the 01E. I read somewhere that the diff cover from an 01E will fit an 0A3, giving you the space for the speed sensor and the magnetic ring which drives it. I haven't tried it, but it might be worth investigating If you used Allroad shafts with spacers you could put some magnets in the n/s spacer to trigger the hall sender. |

Goran i'm very disappointed in you for missing this thread!
MikkiJayne I've looked a little at the c6/7 A6 but I've not found any that are perfect yet on the skf website and i'd rather not use spacers. i did notice 01E sides cover looked the same, but i didn't to want buy a gearbox to find out i was mistaken. i think my fbg has 8 trigger magnets but I've not opened it up yet.

I'm a bit busy at the moment, but if I get time before you figure it out yourself I'll fish both boxes out and have a look at the covers

I just remembered a thread I came across some time ago posted on an unusual forum (not an Audi forum, and not really a car forum - none of us would have any reason to visit it other than courtesy of Mr Google).
You may know of the guy who posted it, he used to frequent the AudiSport forum I think, as he has done a number of B5 A4 V8 conversions in the UK. Anyhow, a few years back he bought a D2 S8 with the intention to do a RHD manual conversion. He never completed it (or started it AFAIK) as he sold the car. However he did post the following observations on the oddball forum: Quote:

Nollywood?
I'm not sure what the reference to the bulge in the floorpan is. There's loads of space with the footrest out - nothing needs modifying on the floor. The footrest just needs to be made narrower to make room for three pedals with OE spacing. |
