p.mole1 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Were can I get one ? it has come apart were it fits onto the gearbox. It is the 90 degree mechanical drive and has a steel washer which is soldered to the drive,this is located to gearbox with a circlip. I could try to re-solder it but I am assuming the drive cogs will be nylon.Also does anyone know what car the clutch release bearing came from, it must be a Ford but I can't figure out which one. While I have the gearbox out does anybody know how much play there should be on the first motion shaft? is it supposed to be like this? bearing in mind the other end is supported in the spigot bearing.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 11, 2018 Member Share Posted January 11, 2018 Speedo drive: Caterham or Redline?Is it the same as that for the Type 9 gearbox? Burton Power have one that is supposed to be "improved" and also stock cogs with different numbers of teeth.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightpayne Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think its called a Top Hat on the caterham parts website.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.mole1 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thanks Graham there is a bewildering number of clutch release bearings. The Burton Power angle drive is £114 yikes.Hi Wrightpayne I don't think Caterham stock the part anymore it's not the top hat, at least on my gearbox They do sell a brass threaded adaptor which fixed via the circlip I am assuming this would allow me fit the commonly available threaded 90 degree drives if there is enough space?

Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 12, 2018 Member Share Posted January 12, 2018 To help the original poster: that's an electronic system off the original mechanical drive?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 12, 2018 Member Share Posted January 12, 2018 Is it (the drive from the six speed box) the same as that for the Type 9 gearbox?Anyone?ThanksJonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.mole1 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi everyone thanks, my drive is the mechanical type but a change to electronic may be an option in the future. The 90 degree adaptor is made by VDO and it has a thin washer soldered to one end. This is located to gearbox with a circlip. It looks like a bit of bodge and I think I may have broken it when I tried to remove the speedo cable before removing the gearbox. I have managed to re-solder it and it still works! I don't think this is how the drive was originally manufactured and it may have been repaired but it has worked for the past 2 years so I'll put it back in and hope for the best .
