Agh. I'm I going crazy or is my bellhousing a mirror image of all other type 9's including the one already in my Locost...





Anyone got a normal one near Edinburgh??

european type 9 have the starter mounted at the opposite side compared to UK ones. So you have a european one. Good for LHD not for RHD

From a LHD car maybe?

They come both way round (and in the case of RS200 alloy ones with a housing for the starter on both sides so you can choose!) Most hydraulic clutch ones are like the one in the picture.

just beggs the question...why did they bother?

Yep - LHD kind of makes sense clutch cable wise. I'm going Saab hydraulic so that's not an issue.

mmm. I'm concerned that my DOHC starter won't fit properly now...

I know for a fact it fits on the other side, as the Locost is OTR with it in place - anyone installed one of these to a Zetec before?

JC

well at least it will be easy to get RHD one if you do have a problem, they arn't exactly rare.....


I've should have a spare one

Sounds good... Let me know how much you want for it...

JC

I'll just need to check that I've got 2 good ones first....

I wouldn't want much for it though (whats scrap worth these days )
or I'd swap for a good sump for a 1800 blacktop zetec (steel focus type)

Got one you can have for the cost of P&P if you need a short nose item . Fed up with tripping over it.

looks like I've got a spare one

u2u sent

did you get that last u2u ??
