Hi guys,
as title states I am trying to figure out what clutch I need in my westfield ( i did not build it)

Its running a 2.0 16v vauxhall redtop and a ford type 9 5 speed.

I have heard that sierra clutchs will fit, would it be a 1.6 or sierra cosworth etc??

Its just started to slip at high revs under heavy load, I guess at over 200bhp its struggling lol.

Thanks

More than likely it's a Vauxhall flywheel and cover with a Ford friction disc.

I think there is a Caterham section on PH, they might be more familiar.

Or SBD, Flowtech, Burton maybe
