I have a '92 Caterham with the Kent 1700 motor. As you know I only got it a few weeks ago, and I have just had my hoist installed so I had to lift something up, just for the heck of it!
Could you kindly identify what the diff (Crown and pinion) is that I have (see pic). As well, where can I get a new one, what car(s) were they common to and so on in case I need one.
As you may recall, I have a nasty "Clunk" on starting up in first. Many suggested I get new "A" frame bushings that have just arrived and will be installed soon'ish. But as the car was up on the hoist I put it in to 4th gear and moved the rear wheels back and forth lightly. I for sure heard/felt/sensed metal "slop/clunk" sound coming from with in the crown and pinion pot, hence my question above. So I fear this may be the problem and not the bushings. As well, I just want to know ;)
Thanks all, Pat
PS: I have posted a pic of the diff, I hope you can see it I'm new to this forum and how it works.
