Whilst looking for a 2.8 Cologne flywheel to use on an Auto to Manual conversion, I decided to think latterally and see which other cars may yield one. After exhausting the European stuff I came across the 1980's Ford Ranger that was sold in the US. They used a Cologne engine (with a few differences), and there still seems to be plenty of support for them.

LUK has part number LFW188 listed as the flywheel for both 2.8 and 2.9 versions. From the photos they look identical to the 2.8 Capri flywheel. The good news is that they can be imported for around £80 a piece with all fees paid. That's for a brand new one.

My question is, do any of you know if this will fit, has it been tried before etc etc .....

Thanks in advance

Steve
