Clutch release bearing for type 3 box (problems)
SirRobin replied to Jono74's topic in Engine & Transmission
Well after further research I thought I would post so that anyone else that has the configuration of an early Capri 1600 with the Type 3 box Basically the release bearing you need is a BHG4546 , this has a 31mm bore and will be a perfect fit over the input housing, the problem is that its a curved bearing and therefore you will need a flat fingered Clutch plate Alternative is to use the ECB114 and sand the castellations off to make it from a 30 to a 31mm. Hopefully this will help someone -
Clutch release bearing for type 3 box (problems)
SirRobin replied to Jono74's topic in Engine & Transmission
Sorry to post on this old thread, but I have exactly the same problem , and I am going mad, I was even considering that a 34mm bearing on a 30mm shaft must be correct. Did anyone identify the correct bearing to use? Thanks Terry -
Thanks. It's weird there seems to be no offset info on the internet about Cortinas All the best Terry

Hello I am trying to sell a set of alloys to someone here in France. They are 6J x 13 ET12 Wolfrace Originals Will they fit a Cortina Mk3 without wheel arch modification? Thanks Terry

SirRobin replied to SirRobin's topic in Engine & Transmission
Thanks for the info, its funny it looks as if it goes straight down with a kink? I may be able to bend my standard 2731 oil pick up? -

Oil pick up pipe for alloy trough sump?
SirRobin replied to SirRobin's topic in Engine & Transmission
Thanks, yes its a 6bolt pre crossflow engine from an earlty Mk 2 Cortina A 2731 casting I think thats the pipe that Burton sells? Thanks Terry -
Hello I managed recently to get an alloy trough sump, total depth is about 140mm with the hole in the internal baffle in the centre. The engine is a 2731 1500 Pre Crossflow so it has the Crossflow hole for the oil pick up. Anyone any ideas on what I can get for the oil pick up as the current one goes straight down i.e front bowl type. Thanks Terry

1500cc 2731 Block - Can I bore to 83mm
SirRobin replied to SirRobin's topic in Engine & Transmission
Problem is being in France, I would pay anything up to £150 just in postage to get the block here. I don’t think you would get a Lotus 6 bolt crank block for less than about £600 I think the plan will be to leave it to the machinist and ask him to centralise the bores and then check. Thanks for the advice chaps. Terry -
