ZF Dimensions

Jac Mac · 17th September 2006, 03:21 AM

Does anyone have a ZF out of a car at the moment that could measure accurately the diameter of the register on the front face of the T/Axle or the rear face of the Bell Housing. This is the stepped register that pass's thru the four bolt holes that attach Trans to Bellhousing.

Thankyou.
Jac Mac.

I will try to help but I'm confused with your "four bolt" statement.
Below is a bell where I have just measured the inner counterbored register diameter as 275.46mm with good verniers.
If you need any other dimensions from it just send me a pm.

I will also try to get the data verified by the ZF professional I know for you.

Hi Jac Mac,
I have a four bolt ZF-0, out of my car at the moment, I will mail a picture and measuremnts to you.

Roy,
Thanks for that clarification - This bell was for a ZF2

Hi JimmyMac,
the bellhousing in your picture is for the later -2 box, the early boxes were 4 bolt to bellhousing.

Hi Jac Mac
I'm fiddling with ZF/2 bellhousings at the moment. The face of the box is roughly 175mm. I can get you any specs for this box as it's on my work bench at the moment. I'm actually making a plastic template for the bell housings to be machined.

Hi Ross,

JimmyMac has given me the dimension for -2 recess dia as above in post# 2 and Roy is going to fwd the same dimension off a -0. Only other dimension I will require is length of bellhousing-[rear face of motor to front face of T/Axle ]. These two dimensions will be enough to get me on the way. Just want to make sure I put enough material in the casting to cover either trans option.

Cheers

Jac Mac,
This one is 100mm long face to face.
The worktop is pretty level and I don't have my machinist's table so I took six datums.
I double checked the vernier height on a glass table afterward with a Rabone Chesterman rule.

Thanks very much James,

You will do well in the race car scene with measurements like these.

Just one offtopic comment, you will need measuring equipment capable of larger dimensions when you catch some trout out here!!

Cheers
Jac Mac

I haven't got James' fancy measuring equipment but I can confirm the 100mm face to face measurement. I'll be in sunny Southland next week Jac Mac but won't have time to go fishing.

I hear the WhiteBait are running Ross, maybe someone will give you a taste!!
Dont ask me, all I have had so far is promise's.

Thanks for checking the dimension, now all I need is some get up & go to make the thing!

Jac Mac / Russ,

I had this nice little trout for your barbie. Unfortunately for you, it went back into the river, as they all do in New Zealand for conservation reasons.

Maybe that is why you have to eat whitebait instead ?

Russ Noble · 19th September 2006, 03:03 PM

Nothing wrong with whitebait once you've topped and tailed them JimmyMac!!!

JimmyMac · 19th September 2006, 03:40 PM

Hmm....... I understand now.

That's why you can get into a 40 and I have difficulty.
Stay alert, steady on the throttle and sharp into those bends. And even win.
Your on a micro diet !!!

But I hope you don't mind me saying so Russ, "it's a bit of a skinflint barbie mate"
