That should be an integral part with the pedal assy? Were you not able to get a complete manual pedal assy?? LMK, I can probably procure what you need or you could probably order from Rusty (even if not on his or Fastlane's site, they can still order the factory parts.)

Brake line is what runs from the clutch master to the conn at the flex hose to the slave, but you can order ALL the above parts from the dealer or Fastlane/Rusty for suprisingly less than you'd think. The hose from the clutch master to the brake master is std MB rubber hose, they use a narrow fuel line (what the MB parts manual calls for), check a local dealer for about 3' of it (runs through the multi-grommet near the fuse box.)

a new throwout bearing, a pilot bearing, clutch and pressure

mount, grease, locktite, new bolts, new bushings.

Again, get from Fastlane or Rusty, they can get all to you for a GREAT price, just ordered another clutch set for a 240 I'm currently working on. For the 12pt flywheel bolts, they are expensive from the parts houses, but the ones on the Auto flywheel are the same, just re-use those from the vehicle you're putting this mod into and locktite them.

not sure of the back up light setup.

Use the conn/harness from the auto trans (conns at center console low on drivers side) and re-solder for a clutch safety switch (I used a brake light switch from the same vehicle for the clutch) and wire that to the neutral safety. The back-up switch will mount in the bracket on the manual shifter assy, no brainer, but email if you need to figure out the wiring, I went through all of this and made notes on how to re-wire so everything (back-up lights, safety, etc. works like a factory manual tranny.

havent found the car yet. almost bought one and a parts
car today, but the guy tried to cheat me on the title and registration. depending on what i get, might need a different
brake pedal, and if the car is old enough, a different brake
resovoir with the clutch nipple.

Everyone I've seen so far (123 body) has a nipple on the brake master cyl, you just snip off the capped end.

will probably do the job by dropping the subframe, lifting
the body instead for pulling the engine. (will not again
pull a tranny with the engine in) this way it will be easy to change
all the underbody rubber, replace bad engine gaskets, do
the brakes, etc.

What?? Maybe I'm not understanding what you want to do, but no need to pull the engine at all, just like doing a clutch job (as far as under chassis anyway). About 1.2 hours to get the tranny out from below. If you "must" change the bushings, engine seals/gaskets, then I guess that would work, but seems like you're going to more trouble that it's worth (then again...., I'm CONSTANTLY accused of THAT!)

would like to do this with a w115 using a 300turbo. will possibly
require movement of the oil filter and fabrication of a fitting
and bracket, a different or hammered oil pan, modify the
wheel well if the turbo is in the way and realine the exhaust
flex pipe.

Ohhhh..., OK, I get where you're going, not a bad idea.

rush, keep my head and dont cheap out, it will turn out
fine. this has been my experience when going into the
unknown.

Absolutely true. If I'd've read this last sentence first, I probably would not have replied. You'll do just fine with it and it will turn out perfect in the end I'm sure. Keep us up to date and for GADS sakes show us pics as you go!!!!
