K series/ type 9 starter and clutch
Hi all, I'm trying to find out what starter and clutch set up to use for a k series to type nine using the QED bell housing. I have tried asking
QED but they don't know themselves. I have a caterham copy starter but is seems to hit the web on the block. Do I need to grind the web off? or
I have heard a starter from a skoda can be used? Any help would be great. Thanks

My fury is fitted with a caterham k-series, type 9 and bell housing - all stock caterham parts.
The starter motor (make unknown but again standard caterham part) uses an aluminium spacer ring - caterham probably sell the part which may solve your
clearance issue?
Hope this helps

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the info, I've already ordered to spacer from Caterham but this only moves the starter sprocket back to stop it fouling on the outer
ring gear. My issue is the side of the starter hitting the side of the block.

Tommy - The webbing on the block will need to be reshaped to fit the starter for all rwd applications (well everyone I've ever come across inc
Caterhams).
