WillC Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Just wondered if anyone would have tucked away a Westfield modified thrust bearing with 20mm spacer glued on. Obviously now not available from the factory and struggling to find anyone local to me in East Anglia to assist. If anyone can assist will be very grateful and quite willing to pay the price for it. Car has Zetec 2 litre fitted with Zetec clutch and MT75 gearbox. Regards Bill Copland
Wessex Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Hi WillC, If you are unable to get this.You can replace the pivot pin on the gearbox with a part from Kit Spares TRA0019, and then fit a standard ford release bearing. I have done this on a few so know it works Malcolm 4
WillC Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 Hi Malcolm, Thanks for the information, I have not moved forward with any replacement save doing the job myself with epoxy glue. Have ordered the pin today so hopefully will be able to get the job done over Easter. Really grateful for the steer. Kind regards Bill
Alfascozzesi Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Just saw this and must have missed it first time though I dont know how! I think this will sort me out as well. Ordered anyway 👍
1960dave Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 I have only just seen this as well and have a brand new bearing and spacer spare.
Alfascozzesi Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 I thought I would be able to order this straight away but it seems I can’t buy through the site last night and the phone is ringing off this morning at kitspares. Does anyone know if they are shut just now? I will keep trying but just in case anyone knows. Thanks
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Don't forget it's a bank holiday today. (Hard to tell for many, I know!)
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 The shopping cart let me get as far as entering address info etc, I didn't go further, obviously, why wasn't it working for you yesterday?
Alfascozzesi Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Forgot about the VE holiday as we just work through apart from Xmas and New Year. I will try again. Thanks for checking Dave.
Alfascozzesi Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Okay got it on a PC at work. I had been using my phone. Should have checked 😔 1
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 A nice write up of this conversion, with photos would be great for the FAQ, and if available before the end of next week would be fantastic for the mag, too!
