MrBlanc Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I'm looking for a:Caterham 6 Speed Gearbox front cover tube sleeveCaterham Part Number - 70004CCan't find stock anywhere and it's holding up the build. HELP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I fitted an after market one on my 6 speed that was for a type 9 box. Its mainly ally with a steel sleeve where the bearing runs. I have an all ally one in the spares box but didnt use this as it shows signs of wear from the thrust bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlanc Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hi Ian, so was the steel sleeve pressed into the ally cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECR Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I'm sure they listed a type nine front cover at some time and it will surely be the same for a six speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightpayne Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Unfortunately I think the company no longer exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 This is suitable for the V6. I think you'd need to do some checking. I have my original V6 type 9 5sp in the shed which ran on the same k series engine / bellhousing as my 6 speed which I can measure for you.https://www.burtonpower.com/quaife-alloy-nose-cone-with-steel-over-tube-type-9-5-speed-gbt9509.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlanc Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks, just looked and it's still showing as out of stock for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlanc Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks, I'll contact them after the bank holiday and check all the measurements. But this is looking good so far. I tried calling QUAIFE last week but had no luck getting through. But the one at Burtons... fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlanc Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 Can anyone please tell me the length of the tube only on this part. Looks like I'll need to get one machined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amos91 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Maybe try asking Steve and Tracsport whether he can help source one. He does plenty of 6 speed boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
