Howzit Guys
Some of you will remember stormer caddy. Well my uncle did not sell it but is struggling to keep his interest with it. I am trying to keep him not to re-advertise it as I do not want to see all his work and dedication go to bits. I am posting for some help to assist him in getting past this point of struggle.
So it is a caddy that he converted into a rear wheel drive. The issue we have currently is with the clutch setup. He is using a 21r toyota gearbox with a adaptor plate the bolts onto the ABF 16v motor.
1) What flywheel do we use?
2) What clutch plat do we use?
3) What pressure plate do we use?
4) What starter do we use?
Any help will be appreciated as I'm working as a retail store manager and knows basically noting about this types of conversions.

Re: Stormer Caddy
You would most probably need the 21r clutch and pressure plate setup to work with the gearbox. The crank bolt pattern on the 21r flywheel may be different to the bolt pattern on the ABF crank and then you would need a custom flywheel.
Where are you based and then we can point you in the direction of engineering shops who may be able to assist?

Re: Stormer Caddy
go here. If they have not done it already they can. But it pretty much looks like they have an off the shelf solution already.
