Hi, the Mk 5 gears are 1 1/8" layshaft and typically have a 5 stamped on them, well all the Hewland ones I've seen have this but not sure of the Webster and Staffs variants. These will spin on a 1"...

yep Ford spacing on Lotus 61s is correct. In the UK they originally run Lotus Cortina steel wheels.

Hi, is it an older MK5 or 6 that has roller bearing on the end of diff rather than the MK8 or 9 that has taper bearings? If so you have to heat the side plates so that the alloy expands and the...

Hi Mark, the best Historic Formula Fords are:

Elden, Crossle, Hawke, Merlyn, Titan, Lotus, Alexis, March, Royale, Palliser, Lola, Macon etc etc. In no particular order.

The 12SP calipers are very difficult to get hold of. They were originally fitted to the very early Lotus Elan S1s and Triumph Heralds in the UK.

Good luck in finding some.

Dunlop were the original makers. They were manufactured for FF1600 back in the 70s and 80s. The centre is the same as that fitted to Triumph Spitfires and GT6s but they were only 4.5j. The true...

Hopefully they will ship across the pond.

Hi, have you got the older MK6 box where you have to heat the side plates to get them off the bearings as the Diff is on ball bearings rather then when Hewland moved over to the MK8 where the diff is...

GT6 and Vitesse are the larger/thicker stub axle

"Avon FF tire life" until there is less than 1mm of tread. If we are talking ACB 9s. Pretty stable from new until worn out.
