I hadn't realised just how different the LHD and RHD pedal assemblies are until
I looked at the exploded pictures.  I assumed we had broadly similar mechanisms
but maybe different spacing due to using the same sequence of pedals on opposite
sides of the tunnel.   In reality, the RHD clutch cable hook is on the single
piece of tube the pedal is also welded to, while the LHD pedal detaches from the
end of the much thinner operating shaft.  Very surprising.  It almost looks as
if they went to great lengths to retain the Beetle system for LHD.  From '72
models they even went back to an earlier Beetle clutch  pedal shaft with a 111
number.   Very curious!
