Thanks for the help. Have now ordered the 1303 M/C and will bend up my own lines
I presume that this M/C will fit my 66 pedal set.

Not sure about the 1303 m/c fitting a non torsion car, the 03 has a different angle for the mounting bolts (on my RHD car anyway), I think the diameter is the same as a normal one so I'd just go with a twin circuit late one for a standard if I were you...

OK, changed to a dual circuit std beetle M/C
I am in Canada now and parts are easy, unlike in Thailand where I live

New nightmare is that I too am RHD, and this is a LHD M/C
Are they the same?

No, LHD and RHD have outlets in different positions, no surprise LHD is a lot cheaper!!

All the plumbing needs to be redone and resevoir relocated. Application is in a GL Speedster so it is custom all the way.
No RHD available here and the Thai ones will be the cheapest crap available at the highest possible cost.

As long as it fits the pedal assembly will I be OK?

I think the main problem is that one of the front outlets gets too close to the centre tunnel, worth checking... I'm sure they wouldn't have designed two different parts if one would have fitted both...

My chassis is a tube frame affair custom designed by Rorty Design in Melbourne. Centre tunnel is a lattice work, round tube, backbone, design as I have no top.

Thanks a lot for your help on this and I will pick up a LHD unit while here and will take the chance on routing the lines.
