Hi Q

 

The clutch is off a Mondeo Mk1 1800 16v - early ones have the correct 23 splines you need and correct dia for the flywheel which will be off a 1.8 focus (lighter than 2.0) both will be 220mm dia.

 

You need a spigot bearing - but that will probably still be in the crank on the new engine if it came out of another Westy.

 

The clutch release bearing is a QH CCT133

 

If you want to spend more money, look at getting a lighter flywheel - mine's a billet steel one from Ginetta that weights about 3.5kg and the car spins up a treat!

Cheers Chris, it's good to know what I should look for when trying to find what works or not. I can only find non OEM clutch kits, so may have to visit a Ford dealer and see if they can still provide a price/supply. With regards to the Focus, do you know what Mk it should be? Mk1 as well?

Not sure if the spigot bearing is included (had to google what it is ;)) but if it is on the crank on the engine, then I would imagine it is included.

Short and to the point, eh? ;)

I make that this, this, this and this then?

I'll try and dig out details of the ones I got prior to using the light flywheel as long as Dom promises not to tell me off ;)

You could also try Retro Ford. They supplied everything I needed clutch/flywheel/bearings for my recent Zetec/type 9 instalation.

I don't suppose you still have your 'shopping' list from them?

That's like the one I have, but mine suits the 220mm Mondeo clutch - I believe the Pinto clutch needs the mounting holes drilling out (or something??)

 

I have a new clutch and flywheel that came off my crate Zetec - but pretty sure it's wrong splines and positive its stupidly heavy!

 

Checked the 'bay for the kit I bought originally, but listings are too old - so all I can offer is the following info:

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clutch-for-FORD-Mondeo-Mk1-93-96-1-8-16v-2-piece-kit-1796cc-8-94-7-96-2-Pie-/361708212769?hash=item54377d5221:g:dmEAAOSwgmJXxyJG this will fit - 220mm with 23 splines

 

Can't find a flywheel but is a Ford zetec off an early mondeo/escort/fiesta 1.8 - but not a zetec turbo - 220mm and with trigger holes on the back.

I've found these guys good for tuning parts (VX and Ford) - near Bedford so can save on postage.....

I sort of agree with the idea of getting all the parts from one source - I nearly did that with QED but in the end I probably saved over £500 by shopping around (for identical parts - just often cheaper elsewhere). Apart from the cost saving it also helps you to understand how everything works and fits together (though keep a list of things in a spreadsheet for later !!)

Can't guarantee that Chris .. blame the physicists at the mo ;) your right about the mounting holes tho.

Quinten they look right to me. But best ask dunnel before you order as they are generally great at advice.

I think they even sent a new set of bolts for the flywheel

Hi Quinten,

 

I might be interested in some of your crossflow bits, when you start the conversion.

 

Cheers
