I have a correction to make regarding the interpretation of the chassis tag. The correction is related to the "VC" proportion of the tag. I think that the "VC" stands for Vegantune Components. At the time, there was only the "VTA" engine. As shown later, Caterham also put a version of the "BD" range of motors, one of them being the 16V version. Again, there were street versions, BDR, (i.e. head and pistons, etc) that had the appearance of BD, but still a redline of 7200 rpm since the stock bottom end was not changed. Caterham was working with Vegantune (for the VTA replacement) and the Vegantune version of the BDA was in the works at the same time. There was also the race version with redline 9500 rpm using a steel crank and rods. I have all the components for that version (crank, rods, pistons, etc) and ancillaries including dry sump pump, dry sump pan, dry sump oil tank, sand-cast headers, motor mounts, etc). While the modified 2L Zetec was better suited to soloII, it can not compare to the thrill of a 9K motor with the power boost coming in at 5K and climbing at the way to redline. I have found more information on Vegantune on-line which I can share. Vegantune closed in 2012, so not able to find anyone that worked there, again also online. Wayne

Picture of the long cockpit, big tube chassis taken by Caterham personnel for us at the old Caterham shop behind the gas station in the town of Caterham. This was taken in 1983 before being shipping to Long Beach, where we picked it up. If the chassis tag still exists, it will show the "VT" in the number. The "27" is the 27th of the big tube chassis.

Did not where it has been since sold in 2020. I have the original Vegantune BDD engine and all encillaries (dry sump tank, 3 bolt headers, etc.) The Vegantune engine is very rare. Caterham where supplying the Vegantune VTA, but only a few BDD, all steel, 9K engines.

Yes, clutch arm fulcrum sounds like the proper term. It is really just a fancy bolt. The washer on the bolt stops it from going in to far and provides stability to the pin. If the threads go all the way through the bellhousing, the bolt can be stabilized and the length adjusted by using a stop nut on the exposed threaded portion. By filing a slot or square at the end of the bolt, its length can be changed without damaging the threads.

Not sure if this applies for your application, but here is what I did to correct clutch problem alignment. I had to make a longer pivot arm bolt to move the clutch arm closer to the pressure plate. Since the bolt is threaded, obtained a longer bolt and ground the head to match the profile of the old bolt. If the bolt protrudes through the back side of the bellhousing, ground a slot or a square so the bolt can be adjusted externally. Wayne
