Would this be adequate enough for a paddle clutch? Wont bend or anything unlike the MA fork levers.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLUTCH-FOR...item4cf7061188
I know its the same one listed as in the first post of the thread but wasnt sure if would need something stronger.
Also has anyone got any measurements of BE mounts for saxo/106 as wanting to make my own but cant until i have these as i would like to have everything ready before i start the conversion.

Thats the cable one so its slighty longer. If you are worried about strength reinforce it. Im gonna weld some bits to mine to strengthen it up

How much are the genuine ones? Also is any box from a BE3/4 car ok? Just thinking ratio wise for boost.

No, you need a BE box from a Car with a TU engine, normally its a 1.6 8v.

So my xsara VTR 8 valve was a BE box then? I've just replace that with a HDI box.

Also another quick question, the hubs have to be from a 1.8+ BE car, does it matter about the shafts? So for instance can they be from a 1.6 8v off same car as the gearbox?

Is this the correct one? Same part number just didnt want to order and be wrong.
I know some people say it needs to have a metal end, guess thats because its stronger but im sure the cable how it comes will be just fine.

the BE4 uses the standard TU/MA crank sensor

I know this, but I'd read it's in a different position slightly,
Which in turn when running standalone you need to adjust the ignition angle? Had caused peoples engines to det?
Might be a complete lie lol.
Just wanted to make sure.

the sensor mounts to the block not the gearbox so changing the gearbox cant alter the position of the sensor

ive heard before that Atspeed say its different but i ran a standard 16v with standard ecu with my BE4 and now use the same sensor with my DTA and have it running at the standard settings
i also took the sensor off my car and fitted it straight on to a customers 106 quicksilver when his failed
perhaps they like charging for stuff not needed

the one i have is the standard late type 2 pin CPS
the lower one is an early sheilded type (with a bit of modifying you can get the early type to fit in the late holder)
not sure why they have cut the box to run that type of bracket as the standard one works spot on
i have run my DTA on standard CPS setings and a standard 16v ecu on the same late type plug
also in that pic it looks like someone has fitted the clutch cable back to front

Hmmm I'm sure it works fine, I'll have too see, just it's in a fairly different place about 5degrees at a guess, moves it from below that mounting bolt to above it.
Assume I need a picasso cps bracket.
