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).
