use the flywheel that is on the 1200, theyre all the same AFAIK

cheers mate +rep your way

and the starter won't engage if you currently have a 1.2 carb........ the f13 type of engine, as in the e16se, uses a bigger flywheel & clutch than an f10 type of engine, 12st, 13s, etc.

I stand corrected

so the the f13cr box will be ok then along with the 1.6 clutch ive got on it at the mo so would the starter engage if i use a 1400 fly wheel or will i need the 1600 one????

[mowgli]

if it is a 1400 carb, i'm positive its the smaller one than the 1600. but i think the 1400mpi is the same size as the 1600, but i've never seen a 1400mpi one up close, so don't hold me to it

[kieran jackson]

it is the mpi one as its of an sri, so the best way for me to tell would be to get my box of n put the 1400 one up against the 1200 one and see if its bigger?

Use a 1600 flywheel & a new 1600 clutch man. As GM intended.
The 1200 fly you have would mean using the smaller clutch.

its a long winded way of doing it, but you might be better off checking with the dealer or a decent parts shop, instead of a couple of hours of graft......

simply find out the clutch size for the 14sri

[kieran jackson]

cheers guys will pop down to a dealer n find out to day will then let u all know

[kieran jackson]

been down to my local vauxhall dealer and have been told that the flywheels are the same on the c14se/c14nz & e16se provided the engine numbers are between 1973910 & 2t39s67

or if it makes it easier you can have my flywheel and clutch.... ive got a few at work
