My Latest project 1971 4 Door GXL

Recommended Posts

My folks had an F reg facelift 2.0 Sierra auto - it was definitely a pinto and I'm sure the autobox was 4 speed.

Thanks Guys

its one for Craig I think.

 

I notice the flexplate holes on the DOHC flexplate are slightly different spacing, so looks like i need pinto flexplate that will suit the a4ld TC

I want to keep the lockup tc

 

im wondering if i can mod the DOHC flexplate by welding a BW35 flexplate, by cutting in amachine shop a perfect circle around the mount point area of the FP then welding that to

then getting the plate balanced.? becuase i have a spare BW35 flexplate, i mean just cut the mount section out of it in machine shop with precison cutter, weld it to the DOHC plate?

take it an engine shop and get them to balance it

 

i have searched for pinto flexplate with no luck

if i do find one will ring gear suit the a4ld setup re starter motor etc

 

 

deffo one for craig

spent good few hours on net with no definitive answers....

Steve thanks for the photos

the mounts look good and straightforward

i am using a cut up shell as a mock up at first

 

looks like the orginal mounts will be removed

ill carefully drill the spots and keep the mounts, ill mark positions on the shell and blank with blind grommets

that way it can go back to type 9 easily.

 

ill rivet on the t shift tunnel plate after drilling spot welds off the gearstick manual hole

 

just need to find the right flex plate

 

steve did you say c4 box?

 

im not sure what a c4 box is, i heard of C3s but not c4s? was this a leter box between c3 and a4ld?

 

if so what car was it fitted to?

 

many thanks
