Thanks for fast replies. Appreciated. The slave cylinder is inside the bellhousing. I see many variations/ "possibles" available when searching '04 2.0L Zetec SVT slave cylinder. However, given the location of the hydraulic lines, it seems there must be a fairly specific unit to work with the bellhousing opening for connections and bleeding. As suggested may just require head scratching / searching when torn apart. Understandably the mechanic would not prefer that. It also assumes parts can be identified in some way - and still available. I do kick myself (and dealer) for not getting more info when purchased. I have asked Fidanza whether the bolt patterns (for friction kit) have changed given the amount of time and no answer from them as yet. Any other thoughts on what clutch plate / assembly it is? I have been advised it may be from Mystique or ZX3, but have also been told possibly Pinto.... Frustrating.

I have a 2004 Caterham 7 with Zetec SVT, Fidanza flywheel and Ford T-9, 5 speed transmission. I've been told it has some sort of internal adapter between the T-9 and bellhousing - if matters. It needs a new clutch so TRYING to sort out (if not buy ahead) all the parts I will likely need, so the mechanic does not have the car sitting all winter in the shop while we try to figure out the origin of everything. The Cat dealer/importer has been trying to help but they are not the same operators and are less familiar with Zetec assemblies. The zone between the Zetec and the T-9 is where Frankenstein works with various bits. Any suggestions for better assembly would also be appreciated as seems 23,000 miles of street driving is a bit light for replacement. Those familiar with SVT's / T-9's please advise on: Clutch assembly origin? ZX3?, Slave cylinder / T.O. bearing recommendations? etc, etc. Not sure if Fidanze replacement friction kit will work given my unit is 20+ years old. If I must replace the flywheel I don't even know which of theirs to use. (They have not yet responded).

Terrific video - thanks for posting it. Nice to sit in the passenger seat while passing so many cars... Skilled driving and a nice bit of racers humility at the end.
