Transaxle Dilema? SORTED!

[Mark]

Just a little update on my transaxle situation, something that has caused many a sleepless night worrying.

First off, Chris Melia has been very easy to deal with and I am very pleased to announce that I now have a wonderful ZFQ transaxle for my P4.

Secondly, John Wisher is doing a first-class job for me, re-engineering the existing Ferrari bell housing and also modifying the existing flywheel to accomodate an AP twin-plate clutch. I can't wait to get it all bolted up and sitting in the chassis.

I cannot thank John Wisher enough for his considerable efforts on this project. The level of care and attention to detail he applies to his work would make anyone think he was building this for himself. :coolgleam:

It is thanks again to this excellent forum, that I was able to be put in touch with the right man for the job! :thumbsup:

Very happy to hear your issue has been resolved. Your P4 is a favorite of mine!

Thanks Molleur. Perhaps you can tell that to my Wife! :laugh:

I'm looking forward to getting the new bodywork on. At the moment all I have is a very expensive pile of bits! :shocked:

Would you believe that two years ago I thought six to eight months would do it! :shrug:

Thanks Molluer.

Here's a side shot of the whole lot. The large extra Ally slab you see below the bellhousing has been left in place to later be formed into two lower brackets to mount to the chassis. Once we know where the chassis cross-member needs to be to suit.
