Thanks for all the advice Guys Must say, I had not thought about the gearbox imput shaft length, where do I get one to replace my existing if I use the Raceline housing and what sort of cost to self fit ? Will this move the gearbox back on my car as Rob G has had to do with his? By how much and does it affect the postion of the gear lever? Paul Thanks for the offer and I will give you a ring. Simon, have seen you Web site some months ago and did not realise you have added so much more, I am sure this will useful. I'll do some reasearch with the info you've all given and will be no doubt in touch. Cheers Andy D

I am about to embark on a Cross Flow to Duratec conversion of my ‘97 Di Dion and no doubt will need lots of help! I have already acquired a 2ltr engine from a Mondeo. Is there anyone in the Yorkshire area with a Caterham Duratec I could look at? Any one with experience of the SBD throttle kits (203 BHP)? Do I need a new sump or can I "scrape by" with the existing? Can I use the existing alternator or perhaps my existing one with modifications. Best exhaust manifold and silencer? SBD or Raceline bellhousing? These questions are just the start! Regards Andy D

Hi If you ring Matt Doughty on 07730 661726 he may have some to sell as he can't go because of a change in plans.

Faber Garage in York have done mine for the last 5 years. The owner Alan has built west thingys and is now doing a Cobra and has some knowledge of special cars. They do it while you wait and I have had no problems.

I have a pair of 40's but on a crossflow manifold and jetted for a 1600.From my 97 car, and are clean atidy with 28 k worth of fuel through them ! Will be converting to Duratec on boddies soon. Any good? Regards Andy

Is a Kent BCF 3, followers,chain,tensioner and Vernier pulley any use. Bought in 2001 new and now has approx 10k miles use. I am converting to a Duratec so I will be splitting the engine. I have used it in my 1600 crossflow Andy D

Hi Tim I will be selling mine in the next couple of months(Max!). It is the complete manifold, 4 into 1 collector and silencer with heat shield. Its in good condition except for the inevitable scrapes on the bottom of the silencer. It is on my Crossflow at the moment. Send me you mail address and I will send photos. Regards Andy

Is the hole through the bell housing treaded? I so could you drill it out to form a clearanec hole and then hold the cable with nuts on both sides of the bell housing? I gues if you can get a reasonble size it may allow the cable through.

Price reduced to £3550 and will be in the Autotrader this week. Pictures available on request. Please ring Ian on the above number.

I have just replaced my tacho as the needle damping was broken (1996 Crossflow). The replacement is the later Caterham type which I got second hand and I have modified the wiring and fitted the short loom which has the 6 pin plug which goes into the instrument. The car starts OK but the calibration is wrong and under the bung on the back of the tacho is a row of 6 micro swiches which I guess need setting for my car. Anyone know the correct switch settings?

Yes please. Edited by - Andy Doughty on 24 Mar 2004 13:03:48
