I did this with my 1600 was pretty easy but I had a manual car to get everything out of next to my good one, I found the assemble for the clutch pedal was there just needed the pedal and bolts etc And I think to get around the wiring we had to join two wires and hope they don't come apart again. Anyway don't know much about the 260 conversion Ryan
