    a520 swap into L-body parts wanted

    Hey!

    I pulled my a520 out of storage to get ready to swap it into my shelby charger and it seems a few things are missing... the clutch release lever and the bar it attaches too ( the part which mounts the throwout bearing) and the main mount.

    Will the corresponding parts from the a525 fit the a520? and if not where could I find these things?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks

    Tifany

    The A525 parts might fit... never compared them.

    Do you have the cables and shifter and rear trans mount for the A520 too?

    Gotcha... maybe we should move the thread to the "Parts Wanted" section?

    Tifany, I think they'll fit, but I've never compared them either. But if they don't, I have a busted 520 in the garage and can grab the parts you need. PM me if you need them.

    Also, if you're willing to attempt a little fabrication, I highly recommend against putting a cable shifter in an L-body. Or, if you can pay someone else for the fabrication, Omni-Potent has some very nice pieces for putting a rod shifter on a 520.
