Hi all I am trying to mate a triumph 2000 engine to an early vitesse gear box (1600cc) am using the 2000 clutch and vitesse bell housing has any one had problems doing this before . the problem is the clutch release bearing is to far back towards the gearbox and the lever is at full throw and wont engage with the clutch. Is there a longer clutch release bearing? or has anyone sorted this problem out before. thanks in advance Bim

Hi all I have managed to track the original engine down for my 948 it has sat in a local machine shop totally rebuilt as a short motor for the last 15 years. But i need to know if the manifolds/starter/distributer/gbox of a 1200 will fit. I have the diff and propshaft but all other running gear has been lost when previous "restorer" abbanded project. I have rebuilt chassis and body, brakes .would be nice to fit original engine. bim

hi all can any one tell me if the exhaust on a 1200 mk 1 chassis is routed through rear chassis cross member or under. also if through chassis where to obtain one. in my parts book a support bracket is welded on after fitting is this to stop system from banging on chassis? the exhaust system the car came with seems to hang under chassis i presume this is for a later chassis(with wider rails) as this is a total rebuild i would like it correct. bim
