Wanted: Right Angle Speedometer Drive

[O Racer]

I broke the right angle speedometer drive last time I pulled the drivetrain. I tried JB Weld that lasted a mile so back to square one. Caterham UK does not have them. The drive was standard on my 1991 Caterham Super Sprint 1700 with the Ford T9 five speed transmission, the drive cable operated a VDO speedometer. If I am lucky, there will be two photos with this post, one shows the broken part separate from the drive, the other with both parts together.

Go to the Burton Power UK website, navigate thru Gearbox page to T9, go to the 3rd page to find speedo drive unit.

Thanks Maurice, I sent an email to Burton sending the photos, looks like the one in the catalog takes another drive cable, Will see what they say

Might have what you are looking for. Send me and email and I'll send you pix of the one I have. Craig chima97@aol.com

I hope you can find a replacement-how does this fasten to the T9 transmission? A snap ring? thanks, Eric

[O Racer]

Yes Eric, a snap ring that fits into a recess on the side of the T9 tail shaft. Tough to get to, use to need care with the right size pliers

Still no leads on the suitable drive unit. Craig Chima's part was not the one...still looking.

 

Thanks
