Myles Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I need a new CRB - nothing wrong with the old one, but as the engine is coming out, I might as well put a new one in. It's for the Type-9... Went to my local motor-factors - 'sorry sir, don't stock them - only do them with complete clutches - not many people do them on their own these days'. Went to my local Ford dealer - 'Sorry sir - they are not specific to the box - we need to know what engine-variant the Sierra was...' And all because some bright-spark ( ) told me not to buy it from CC! 'Search' hasn't helped much - it's come up with an INA part-number, but Ford don't recognise it. They say it should have a code in the form of YYAAXXXXBB where YY is a year-code (e.g. 88), AA is some double-letter combination (as is BB) and XXXX is a 4-digit number). Any ideas? I'd get it from CC - but I've already put two orders in in the last few days when i could have paid for just one shipping charge... Project Scope-Creep is underway...

Jason Plato Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 How urgent do you need it Myles ? I'm 99% sure I have one in the garage that you can have and replace when CC get stock ?

Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted November 24, 2004 Leadership Team Share Posted November 24, 2004 I bought one from Redline in Caterham only last week so suggest that you give them a call. Only cheap too! Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Dave, Pretty-soon - within the next week-10 days I hope (will be building the engine very shortly - got virtually all the bits except for a few minor bolts etc. on order) - so I'd hope to lever it in not long after. Michael - thanks for that - I'll call them tomorrow and if there's been a run on them, I'll give you a call, Dave and sort you out a replacement in due course. Mav is trying to tie-down the Ford part no., but my local dealership are struggling somewhat and the price might be higher anyway. Thanks and regds, Project Scope-Creep is underway...

Normans_Ghost Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Myles, look in your yellow pages for bearing stockists. Take old one and they will probably have one. Will also be much cheaper.

Myles Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Yay! Thanks. Matches with some partial information I got from Mav. One of the reasons the guy at the Ford parts-desk couldn't work out what was needed was that this is listed as a 4-speed item according to Mav... Project Scope-Creep is underway...

owelly Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Just out of interest (I ought to get out more), is the CRB rounded or flat faced? its only a game......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 Ah. Just spoken to CC Parts - they do have CRBs in stock (I was speaking to them about returning an engine-mount bracket - they'd sent the wrong one) - so to keep things relatively simple, I've sourced it from them. Still, we've got the info. available now.... Project Scope-Creep is underway...

F355GTS Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 owelly you need to go to Burton Engineering, they do a carrier and a suitable rounded bearing, I've just bought both from them :) https://www.burtonpower.com/default.aspx Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Oooerrr. Just received mine from CC parts today - it is made by SK and is the plastic-carrier type. Not the INA I'd been hoping and expecting... Still got time to find another one, if people think this might be a good idea... Project Scope-Creep is underway...

Paul McKenzie Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Myles, I have an INA one sitting in front of me right now (from my '96 HPC) and it's a plastic carrier Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 OK - I'll stick with what I've got then. The old INA one I was given for reference a few days ago was all-metal. The new one from CC parts is made by SKF (not SK) and has a part no. VKC2144 (caterham part no. AB57U - £10 plus VAT). Project Scope-Creep is underway...

V7 SLR Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Mylo, are you saying the one I gave you has a metal carrier? I didn't think so. Thought it was exactly the same as the plastic one I've just replaced it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 They have always been plastic carriers on the K series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Erm, lemme check your dead one... Yep - your old one had a metal carrier.

V7 SLR Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 For sure I remember people complaining about the plastic carriers on cars older than mine, giving strength to Dave's assertion that they were always plastic, and I *had* thought the one I'd just installed was the same as the one I have given you. I'd be keen to look at my old one again. Don't chuck it away. I'll clean it up with carb cleaner. I have heard people talking about metal ones int he past now you mention it.

Myles Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hmm - The old one Nigel gave me as a reference has a composite carrier - the top and bottom plates are plastic, but the middle-slice is metal. OK, the whole carrier *is* plastic - but the retaining clips are metal. phew! Check out this pic here what about the heigh difference etc. - the new one is 1.5mm shorter....

Myles Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Just spoke to CC technical: They say the CRBs are the same for 5s and 6s, that they have recently changed suppliers, that the new one is a direct-replacement (despite having a different number of splines - 6 instead of 18 or so) and the fact it is 1.5mm thinner is of no consequence..... Thoughts anyone? Project Scope-Creep is underway... Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKenzie Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Myles, From what I've read K's seem to be 'CRB sensitive' 😳 so maybe it matters for current mainstream cars. X-flows and VX's love the standard Ford CRB Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
