Spiny Norman Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 They're also on the McLaren F1 prototype, the Venturi (Froggy Lotus type thing) and bizarrely the Renault Sport Spider used them too. Is there anything that uses CX door mirrors AND Morris Marina door handles? bangernomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that some TVRs used the door handles in the late 60s ? Also the Rover V8 engine. In 1994 Land Rover were making near 300 different versions of that engine. The component you want to consider is the Lucas Colette Caliper. https://www.trwaftermarket.com/en/news/zf-trw-produces-one-bllonth-colette-brake-calper-contnues-to-enhance-world-leadng-desgns/ mat_the_cat, bangernomics, Sigmund Fraud and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timewaster Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 106 push switches in the Elise. Mind you, you could fill this whole thread just with Lotus bits. From memory, the s1 Elise also used AX wiper motors. Renault 4 headlamps and Vauxhall Astra ignition barrel. Late LDV Convoys lifted the entire power unit from the Transit. Maestros with Golf gearboxes. (and the rear suspension set up blatantly copied from VW). Despite owning a 205, and working for a Peugeot dealer in the very late 80s, I only recently discovered that 205s and 309s use the same doors. I highly recommend Richard Porters Boring car trivia books. Now on its third edition. I share an amazon account with my Mrs and I'm sure she was delighted when they appeared on her kindle.

They also used a lot of Rover 800 interior bits and the radiator is from a Isuzu Derv powered Mk3 Astra. But I can see why low volume manufacturers used parts from different cars. As I shudder to think how much it would be to engineer and prototype switches and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timewaster Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 You can just imagine an LD.V engineer rummaging around the warehouse of their local motor factor in a brown stores coat holding a tape measure in 1 hand and a carpenters pencil behind his ear. Vernier gauging his top pocket. There was a conversation at work regarding a late Defender which has a Ford diesel engine under its oddly bulged bonnet. Imagining the Land Rover engineers trying to make the bonnet fit.

Unfortunately Reliant did just that with some little bits for the Scimitar. And ended up with thousands of bits in stock. The SS1 borrowed lots of Metro stuff swichgearwise though.

SiC Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Ferrari 348 uses the exact same engine ECU as a Peugeot 306 1.8 just with a different map. One ecu for each bank. So much so, you can swap the ROM from the 348 into the donor ECU from the Pug and plug it in. twosmoke300, cobblers, bangernomics and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
