where are you as the owner of the engine is near aberdeen running it a space frame pug 205

xr4x4rs

wasnt sure but can the dohc box take the bigger clutch as it uses the 215mm size and the cossie is 241mm

was told by another competitor that the oil pick up pipes are the same it's only the pumps that are different, will need an oil pick up pipe anyhow as the sump was shortened to fit the spaceframe

the dohc box is the same as a cossie one in everyway bar the clutch fork



i know the clutch forks are different as i fitted one into a cossy box and it rubbed on my cover

the box will fit straight on and line up
