However, as you say, they were reliable.

Cheers,


Try finding a cam belt tensioner for the 1.6 TC for example and the Arbath gearboxes are not exactly easy to come by either.

One good thing is that the engine orientation is the same as a Duratec so if you find a sikly Fiat 4/4 or +4 (as parts usually mean they are not in perfect health) a swap is not out of the question.

You can always make a reasonable amount of cash selling the engine and box to a Morgan Traditionalist salwart that needs the parts.
