The Clutch in my mates Westfield can't take the pain. Ford Type 9 gearbox & 1.6 CVH. Engine is tuned to 140BHP at wheels! Original Sierra clutch has given up after about 500 miles.
Anyone know if the Cosworth Sierra clutch will go straight in? Any other ideas?
Thanks

The car originaly had just 80 Horses at the wheels! I would guess that its glazed now.
I expect that the clutch in it would be standard 1.6 Sierra whatever that is. I was thinking about the Cosworth Sierra clutch as I can get a standard one from Halfords for less than £200 if it would fit. A speical AP or similar competion clutch would be £250+ & may not be as strong.

Will give it a try. The car is light so maybe it will be enough. Cheers.
