I've got a brake pedal, the pedal box is the same you just remove the clutch pedal bracket which is separate.

I might have a clutch master cylinder blanking plate too.

Very unusual to hear someone wanting to do a manual to auto swap, may I ask why? It's a very involved job.

You'll need to swap the radiator for one with an oil cooler or fit a separate oil cooler like the 760 has.

You will need

Brake pedal
Master cylinder blanking plate
Brake fluid reservoir will need the clutch take off blanking
Oil cooler for the gearbox
Gearbox
Torque converter
Flexi plate
Gearbox crossmember
Propshaft (just the front half will do but it's better to fit a complete prop)

I think that's it, I have only done this swap the other way around so I may have missed something.

You might need to swap in an axle from an auto car as the ratio is different, the manual axle will make it rev lower at motorway speeds, so if you get an AW71L the lockup won't engage until you're going faster.

There was a 940 turbo automatic in harry bucklands scrapyard in Cheltenham a couple of weeks ago, my mate sent me a photo of it but I haven't had time to get down there, it will have everything you need hopefully.
