Have you tried BGH gearboxes, they may be able to help or point you in the right direction.

Have you tried the usual TVR parts people like Adrian Venn ?

There's one on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-Cosworth-Sie...

The cover plate also appears on Ebay every now and then.

I tried to write to BGH but these guys
keep their Email a secret.
I have to find another way…

I wrote Adrian some days ago.
Maybe he's out of town.


Thanks

I'm looking for the same boot without any success. The one on Ebay will not fit in my view. I have some time ago asked the seller for dimensions and the reply was: 100mm long X 60mm wide at the rear, tapering to 55mm at the front so I can't see how that will fit the 105 X 75mm hole in the bellhousing. I have also contacted the Capri Club but they do not have any, new or secondhand. Please let me know if you find a source. As for the plate, there is one on Ebay at the moment with a starting bid of £40 and 2 days to go; you should find it with an "essex v6" search.

Weren't some (earlier / newer) made from a kind of thick cardboard?

You mean along the same lines as these?
I suppose you could use anything to make one up yourself.

[phillpot]

I think Ford used genuine Kellogs

[Joho]

Not sure if they're the right ones still.

I believe the ones for crossflow engines are a different size again, the one on our 1600M is different to the one we need for the Taimar anyway.

Does your 1600M have a gaitor that looks similar or does it have a flat one like mine?

Ours looks like the other one.

Ah, OK
