Thinking of carrying out a manual conversion. Can anyone advise on potential problems like can all bellhousing bolts be accessed? Haw difficult is it to fit pedals etc.

It's all very straight forward really.

Gearbox goes straight on but you need the front section of prop and the alternator harness from the manual car.

Pedals are a pain to fit but not technicaly difficult as all the holes are in the right places etc.

what about bellhousing bolts, what do I need to remove for access. Also, are torque converter bolts accessible via starter apeture as with most auto's.

 

Cheers.

Bellhousing bolts can be accessed with your wrench and about 3 extension bars on the end from the back of the box.

Nothing else has to come off apart from the exhaust.

Torque converter is like you said :)

Many thanks, looks like I'll be doing it then.

It's easier without changing the alternator harness. Just keep the a/t harness and pull new wires for neutral switch and for reverse lights switch. If you take m/t alternator harness, you have to do several modifications for it. I made the swap few weeks ago and it is just bolt on issue. Few minor mods needs to be done, but it's ease. Just do it.
