New from Tom Kerker! Finally available, a kit to upgrade your clutch shaft to upgrade the clutch cable hook and move your clutch pedal over and away from the brake pedal for 1957 and earlier Bugs! Also eliminates the support bracket on the left side of the clutch shaft and includes a new pedal stop and clutch pedal pin.

I’ve owned this crusty 23 window for 22 years. Plans are to turn it into a nice driver, not a show car. Starting here with the butchered rear bumper bracket mounting area.
