Linking Ford engine to a Renault gear box
The shaft between the engine and gear box has to be modified. First; the
distance between the clucth plate and the mainshaft is differnt. So you nned to
extend the shaft. This had been done when the racer was first built adding
some 50 mm by weilding together two Reanault shafts. The Renault and Ford clutch
plates also have different centers. The original quick and dirty method was
welding a Renalut plate center to a Ford plate.
We are going to weld together a Renault and a Ford shaft so that original Ford
clutch plates can be used.
 New combined shaft Now we can use Ford clutch plate |
 Cut for welding |
By the way, you can use a Mitsubishi Colt plate (Daikin MBD019U),
If you cannot locate an Anglia plate.
