Hi chaps

Not sure if anyone is interested but my downfall may be your gain. In my haste to get my engine/gearbox mated I had the flywheel out of my 2.0DOHC (I4) refaced and lightened by taking some material of front and rear faces.
I then realised my zetec/bike carbs/ecu set up will need a crank position sensor. This means I need a zetec flywheel/clutch and the one out of my sierra that I have had lightened is useless to me.

Obviously it is still heavy so it is best if picked up by yourself (free brew, nosey at my chassis, and alot of talking roadster free of charge!) But will post if needed.

PM me if interested and you are building an I4 roadster.

Cheers

Or attach a trigger wheel to your bottom pulley

Twin PM sent!

Yes I had a mate who suggested the same solution. Thought it might be cleaner and simpler to stick with the original idea and crank sensor. But if I cannot raise a few quid by getting rid of my old one for a zetec flywheel I might go with it. Zetec flywheels are not expensive, and I need a new clutch anyway.

It cost me £30 qid to have it machined, so if I can get somewhere near that I will be able to get my zetec flywheel!

You are right on that one, much neater/simpler installation using a flywheel that does the job for you

The DOHC has a crank sensor.
