Hi guys,
We are preparing 6speed conversion for Opel speedster in Japan.
However, we could not buy Bracket transmission to chassis LH (B124A0091F) from lotus.
My question is that we are able to convert from F23 to M32 without B124A0091F? (maybe not)
Our M32 gearbox was for Lotus Europa.
Does anyone has B124A0091F?

 

[vocky]

you will need the B124A0091F because the M32 mount is totally different to the original F23 mount

available from any good Lotus dealer http://www.deroure.com/diagrams.asp?TBL=1790&MAK=1&MDL=19&SMA=0&SMO=0&ST=&SC=0

Thanks Vocky!
Okay, I need B124A0091F. I have to look for this somewhere...
I have already asked the part to deroure.com.
hmmm

We've shipped stuff to Tokyo before through the z22se shop. Shipping is quite expensive, but I'm sure if you are happy with the shipping costs we can get the part from lotus and post it out to you?

 

[JUN]

That's really sound nice!
I like to ask you possibility to get stuff from Lotus at the beginning.
Is it okay for you?

Yes, if you have a list of parts required, we should be able to sort something out.

Thanks Matt!
We are just looking for B124A0091F(Bracket transmission to chassis LH).
I could not get this because of obsolete at lotus.
I assume that it is difficult to get staff from lotus, maybe some chanell of distribution...

 

[Matt]

You have a PM

 

[Matt]

B124A0091F is now obsolete, and Lotus no longer supply this part

 

[JUN]

Dear Matt,

Thank you for your order.

Unfortunately Lotus have made part number B124A0091F obsolete earlier this
year so we will not be able to supply this part.

We have therefore cancelled your order and no funds have been taken from
your card.

I apologise that we could not help out this time.

well thats the end of 6 speed vx220 conversions unless a secondhand bracket can be located or a one off bracket made

 

[vocky]

So have they replaced the part with another Matt, otherwise a simple gearbox bracket is going to write off a £15k car

It's not! I've just spoke to a dealer in Leeds who apparently spoke to someone this morning about the same thing. The people who make the part for Lotus don't sell enough, so won't make any more of them. Lotus agree this is stupid, but aren't doing anything about it!

Hello there!...Ive just bought a 2003 vectra 2.2 sri direct...and ..im hopping to find here ..some clues or the right person to talk about it ...regarding of a modified gearbox...the car is got a z22yh engine

 

[vocky]

with the vectra C you should be able to get the right parts from the later z22yh 6 speed M32 model

[evocarlos]

vocky would it be worth adding the vec c shafts mated with astra g outer cv's work ?
are the hubs the same as the astra g on the vx220 with the castle nut and cotter pin ?

 

[vocky]

for front wheel drive I would not hesitate to fit the equal length shafts

astra G and vx220 share the same wheel bearing hubs and thus the same outer cv
