martin Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 does anyone know if the bolts size are different between the mk1 crank and the mk2?because i have the right size bolts for thre crank but they won't go through the flywheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Looked thro' my Std. Tri. GT6/Vitesse w'shop manual, this states that the flywheel bolts are 3/8UNF bolts on both Mk.1 and Mk.2 2.0L engines.My 2000/2500 Std. Tri. manual states the mk.1 2000 had 3/8 24TPI bolts, wheras the 2000/2500mk2 engines had 7/16 UNF bolts.This would suggest that you have a 2000 or 2500 saloon crank?Hope of use?

Deleted User Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 If it's the right crank it should only stick out a little way from the back plate,if it's the extended one then it will stick out a good half an inch.If its the longer one then i'd be wary fo mating it to your gearbox ,did this with my gt6 and broke it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 That sounds about right ,might be a stupid qyestion but if the bolts fit the crank but won't go through the flywheel ,have you got the right flywheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 yes its a vitesse flywheel but would seem a 2000 crank.have drilled the bolt holes out now fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
