It should just bolt on. No tap needed.

Thought there was a bolt to be tapped into the gearbox,8mm was what I did but I didn't use a bracket,mounted my cable holder on the clutch roller bracket.
Pic shows bolt on RJ's kit.  Drill this hole in the casing with caution and makes sure you don't drill too deep,good luck. |

Unless the transmission is a early tailshifter the hole is not tapped. Thinking only the 1970 and may be early 1971 had hole with bolt installed.

I thought rich's kit could be bolted on to the trans with the black adapter. Otherwise you might as well just tap the trans intermediate plate and use the bellcrank without the adaptor. Might as well ask rich and get the facts.

Mine was bolt on, but I had to modify it for the current 915 trans.

I had Dr Evil install a 911 intermediate plate so the bellcrank could bolt in like a 914-6 trans. I also got a 2nd one from rich for my 2nd 914-6/915 trans conversion. He makes a great product. |

I have Rich's accelerator kit on my late 914 transaxle; it had a drilled port and stud installation for the rear mounting; two other studs on the right side where used to mount the front half; do not have any information available now; etc.
Contact Rich and he may send you the information; if needed, I can measure the stud, where it is located, drill size, etc. |

There's a round casting boss right where it should be drilled and tapped. I'd recommend NOT trying to do that by hand. I like to use a longer stud for the side cover.
