WANTED: Right Angle Speedometer Drive Gear Ford T9 Trans.

[O Racer]

While pulling my engine and transmission by myself with a hoist that had a leaking cylinder (does this sound like a good idea), I broke off the speedometer drive gear. which has a right angle drive housing. It seems they are unavailable from Caterham UK, not sure where else to look.

 

Car is a 1991 Caterham 1700 Super Sprint with the Ford T9 5 speed.

 

Sorry cannot figure out how to add a photo on this site.

 

I can send you a photo, email me at jgrosseto at iCloud dot com

 

Thanks for your help or referral to another possible source

Try John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics in Oxford, CT [(203) 463-8299]. They overhaul T-9s and probably have spares lying around.

The part I need is a classic pin drive speedometer drive that attaches to a recess on the passenger side of the transmission with a circlip, the other side accepts a speedometer cable that screws on to the drive at a right angle.

 

I can email a photo

 

Thanks

BAT in Florida may have one if Quantum Mechanics in Oxford CT doesn't. What about one of the Caterham dealers??

Thanks for all the suggestions...this is a great site with so much combined talent, I appreciate everyones participation

 

BAT does not have the part for the Caterham application

 

Quantum has the part that works but inly for British Speedometers, mine is a VDO

 

Caterham UK has a part that will work with needing a custom cable

 

I have leads on exact replacements, waiting for confirmation.

 

Thanks all

I think Burton Power in UK stocks that part. Worth looking into anyhow, assuming you strike out elsewhere.
