Fitting a k series
I am wanting to fit a k series in a seven what do I need.
Currently on my list is
-bellhousing with clutch fork.
-exhaust manifold.
-starter and spacer (not sure what starter motor is used)
-Clutch (not sure what parts)
-Engine mounts
-Flywheel (think you can used 1.4/1.6 flywheel)
Do I need to use a caterham sump.
Any other parts i may need or any fitting info greatly recieved.
Thanks Matty

Can anyone tell me what clutch and starter motor are used when fitting a k series to a type 9 gearbox.
Regards Matty

The last Reliant Sabres were all 1.4K series/type 9 and I am currently fitting one to an earlier SS1 - however, imine came complete so I can't
answer all of your questions I'm afraid.
Clutch is 190mm (1" 23 spline obviously) - no idea what the flywheel is from but I may have one spare.
Starter is LSR543 (mk2 1800 Sierra) but later blocks may require some rib trimming - there is an adaptor ring with it (unfortunately I just sold my
spare with the bellhousing and a manifold) the manifold appeared to be standard K series/Rover GTa - possibly modified at the collector for the
Reliant application.
I believe that Caterham may have used a special gearbox input shaft - Reliant drilled the crank and used the standard long shaft "V6"
box
I may have a sump available (I may sell engine complete) or can photo/measure - again, no idea where they originate I'm afraid.
