Nope, and believe me I've looked everywhere. Not even bugat5speed got the conversion covered for a type 4 engine. If you have a suboeroe thingy engine beheind the 915, then yes I believe so as they have experience with that.

Martin Bott tells me that he can do the clutch activation but uses a host of different parts. I have however bought his 915 mounting kit.
As I already have the KEP kit and 911 clutch I would like to use what I have.

If no canned solution, is there a method statement on how to do it using the Saco/Aircooled.net hydraulic kit?

How long before you need to do this? I'm using the aircooled.net set-up (as stated before). I will have pic's and parts needed to do this soon.

I am maybe 2 months away from doing this.

The current need is to buy the parts by the end of July while I am here in Canada and carry them back to Thailand.

I would go ahead and get the conversion kit from aircooled. That takes alot of guess work out of parts searching, and it bolts to stock pedal assy (with access hole cut on passenger side of tunnel). The hard part will be finding a good spot to mount slave cylinder (which is not that hard), and mounting brackets. In two months I better be working on mine...

Here's a pic of my Saco clutch slave side and 915:

It needs a heat shield (ask me how I know..) from the header, replacement of the remaining rubber oil hose and mounting brackets are not visible clearly, but you get the idea hopefully.

OK will buy the hydraulic kit now, and look forward to hearing how it goes for you.

Hope it fits my RHD pedal set?
