After alot of research the mounts I need are 2 gearbox mounts and a cambelt side one. These seem to be quite expensive around 70 each, but I have came across some epytec ones from a company called bolt action and shipped to the uk is working out at around 120…
Has anyone else used these mounts? They seem pretty cheap is there any reason for this?
Also am I right in thinking I have a o2j in my mk4 golf? I plan to use the seat adaptor to convert to cable clutch. Am I right in thinking I will need to use o2a tower from a mk3? As that will fit with the seat adaptor? Where as the tower on the box standard wont?
Thanks in advance for the help guys. I think im right in what I say after my hours of research..
Just need a bit of comfirmation before I start spending.. :-)
Thanks.

Also, I have a mk3 shift tower you may be interested in. I can't offer any help on the technical issues of fitting the parts though as I don't have that experience.

I have the 02j shifter tower mounted on a 02a box with the cable shift leaver. Works well. I don't think the 02a & 02j cases are that much different, but could be wrong…
The cable clutch is fine, I don't know why people add the hydro as it is so much more effort and my cable clutch is nice and light and it feels more 'mk1 like'.
The big thing with the cable clutch is this silly concept of cutting the outer sleeve to make it fit. I wasn't happy with that so I modified my bracket so a standard clutch cable fits.
