spigot bearing
scutter - 19/3/03 at 09:06 AM

A question I know conrod can answer but I'm sure the information will be useful.

What type of spigot bearing did people ask for when they got theres from ford?

Was it 1.6 sierra or X-flow.

P.S. the grearbox is type 9 to X-flow.

Don't think it matters, I'm fairly sure that all spigot bearings for 4 cylinder fords are the same.

No sorry KingR, 4 speed spigot bearings are different to 5 speed ones, I know this from bitter experience!!!

Your x flow will have a 4 sp bearing, you need to knock it out and put a five speed one in, the five speed one is 1.4 mm bigger.

Chrisg,

"..Well no, no matches yet, very much in the planning stage"

Go to a model shop, they'll sell you a bag of about a thousand headless matches for a couple of quid!
