VVC Clutch replacement.

[Gingerbread Man]

 

Is this a Caterham only item or will an item like this fit at half the price?

 

Just wondering if I need to pay Caterham prices.

 

I've also noticed Caterham do an uprated VVC clutch, what's the story behind this?

As far as I can remeber, it is a Caterham only clutch (AP Racing), as it is of a smaller diameter.

 

Only dead fish go with the flow....!

Caterham used to fit a generic clutch to its lower powered K models. It now only supplies an AP clutch.

 

The "cheaper" clutch was available from CC in 2002.

 

Cover: 72600. Plate: C784AF. £55 plus VAT.

 

I believe it was a Quinton Hazel part. The QH catalogue here recognises the plate but not the cover. The cover also has QY13000 stamped on it but that is not recognised.

 

No Rover clutches will fit the later gearboxes (1996 on?).

 

All K series engines used the same bellhousing & this limited flywheel diameter to those used on 1.4 & 1.6 engines.

 

A Google search for the plate throws up quite a few references but not for the cover.

 

Sorry can't help you on the uprated VVC clutch but maybe Darren can at CC.

Thanks guys. I've emailed Darren for a better insight.

Let us know what he says, but I was under the impression that the clutch was bespoke due to the interface between Rover and Ford going on in getting from Engine to Gearbox. I might have wrong end of stick.
