Ian Mac Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Can anybody help? This is my first blog as a new member. I have a year 2000 Caterham Academy Sprint with 1.6 8v Vauxhall engine and 5 speed gearbox (I think this is a Ford box). It was originally built for the Caterham Academy track series but is now a road going car. I am about to change the clutch, does anybody know what type and where to get one pre me splitting the unit? Chris at Redline doesn't do clutch kits. Caterham have told me it would have had an AP Racing clutch which are no longer available but Helix do have a kit but they and I have no idea which one it would be!Has anybody had any experience of this situation?

Wrightpayne Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 McMillan Motorsport in Hinckley support the race series cars - perhaps a call them and see if they have any old stock or can help source a replacement (or even some advice on what to buy!)Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ford Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Peter Godfrey at 7 Works Automotive also has a lot of experience of those cars - he supported a number of them when they were racing as Classic Graduates. https://www.facebook.com/7worksautomotive/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
