WANTED- URGENTLY: rear disc-rotor and half-shaft or parts

[alpinaturbo]

Everything is for the S3 Superlight DeDion chassis rear:

 

I need one rear brake rotor/disc, and I need at least 1 outer CV joint, or used/new driveshaft, right side.

 

Any opportunity considered.

I am located in San Francisco Bay Area.

Shoot me an email at alpinaturbo@yahoo.com, if you can help.

 

Thanks

Can type or tripod type CV joint?

[alpinaturbo]

I am not sure?

The car is 2006, what is "normal" for DeDion axle Caterham that year?

 

Thanks

Does TriPod mean that the "Half Shaft Side" of the CV Joint, the inner stub has 3 rollers on 3 rays extending out?

Mine does have that: starting from the differential along the shaft, first the CV boot is still attached, than a CV joint inner shaft with tri-pod like shape with three rollers, one on each of the tripod arms.

 

The big body of the CV joint, the outer races, with stub-axle is still attached bolted to the Hub.

 

Maybe you can point me to the correct Ford Sierra equivalent or maybe you have one available?

 

Thank you

Ivica

Not to be critical but a photo or two of the part you need to replace might help.

I understand fully, it's easier to visualize when a photo is available.

I am looking for complete replacement outer CV Joint

 

The other part (more than half) of the CV joint is in the car still.

So its now shown.

Those are tripod type....the later ones. I think the changeover was 03 or 04. I have rubber boot kits for then, but not extra internal pieces or ends. The can type has a sheet metal piece (about the size of a fat soda can) that holds the boot. The boots are not interchangeable. The internal internal balls might be interchangeable but not the end pieces or boots.

 

You can of course interchange the whole axle styles...and I think if you order new ones you get tripod style.

 

Well if you can get them that is.

Martin, thanks

 

I did go locally, the only driveshaft places left are doing "driveshafts" with Yokes, but no CV joints.

 

Here is the San Francisco Bay Area.

I'll give them a call

 

If I only had a part# for a Tripod CV joint, application specific info, I could get one on-line or from UK overnight.

Got this link from Blatchat about axle sources.

 

GKN has several locations in the US. Just select North America from the drop down list. You may need to contact the UK branches if the US ones can't help you.

I wonder if some "component suppliers" are just middle men with a catalog and rely on some one else to have an inventory.

We found a source:

 

Automotive Unlimited in UK, Duncan is the proprietor

Specialized in Escort and Sierra Cosowrths

 

The CV Joints are from the Front Wheel Drive off the All Wheel Drive Cosworths.

That is only Sierra Cosworth and Escort Cosworth 4x4 feature them on the front.

 

The one I needed is the front outer.

Normally the always feature an ABS ring, just get it off- its pressed on.

 

Duncan can source the Joints reasonably cheaply, and use http://www.parcel2go.com, Parcel Force, or similar parcel service for economical shipping.
