Great, Thanks for confirmation!

>>Does the scout have a 196 in it  now?  If it does you already have all the
parts you need to account for the different tilt of the 196 in an 800 vs the
scout II and should be good to go.

I think I have everthing I need.

No. I did the Hydraulic Clutch Conversion in 1990. Used it for several years 
with good results. I plan on using the same set up. I mounted the Scout 80 
Slave of of the 152/195 block, close to where the fuel pump is. I drilled & 
tapped holes in the flat boss on the block and used studs to fasten a plate that 
holds the 80 Style Slave Cyl.

On the RHD Clutch, I never heard or seen a Scout 800 with Hyd Clutch that is 
Stock. I never seen a RHD Stick Postal Scout. All the RHD 800s I've seen had a 
Borg Warner Automatic.

Ether did I a few years ago. I never heard of it till I looked into 
retrofitting later overdrive manual trannies in older muscle cars.

I converted my 1970 Car from automatic to modern 5 Speed. To eliminate the 
complexity and inefficiency of stock clutch linkage, I used a McLeod Concentric 
Slave. The Concentric Slave is basically a Throughout bearing Siameesed to a 
Donought Piston that slips over input shaft. In does not have a pivot/fulcrum, 
just expands to push t/o bearing for clutch disengament.
