Is that the same for the Type E to 2lt Zetec (with the 2ltr flywheel)?
For a type 9, info elsewhere suggests its the CCT303 for the 2ltr flywheel and CCT133 for 1.6/1.8 flywheel + clutch.
Now I'm confused!
Thanks

I struggled to get a QH CT133 anywhere but found BRT.

The BRT direct equivalent for the QH part CCT133 is a BRT388 and cost me £23 plus P&P from BRT head office - 01945 464097 - http://www.brt-bearings.com

Using the 2L flywheel? Are you sure the type 9 bellhousing fits over it?
Everyone changes it for a 1.8 which is much thinner and then use the Ct133 bearing.

I just mated a Zetec SE to a type 9 using a bellhousing from http://www.rwdmotorsport.co.uk

The standard xflow clutch fitted no problem & the same release bearing too.

SE is a different engine!

Will the bell housing on my Type E (not integral) fits over the 2ltr flywheel.
What you say out the 1.8 flywheel and CT133 makes sense and is probably what i'll end up doing.
But, in answer to the original post of 2ltr zetec, 2ltr flywheel. From what I've read (no first hand knowledge) it's the ctc303.
Anyone confirm this?

If you go to wilco motorstores they stock QH parts. My cct133 cost me about 13 quid iirc.

They kept getting me a bearing that said CT133 on the box but clearly wasn't. I gave up on the third attempt. Nowhere else even should they could get them.
