Do they have to be x19.
what about MX5, MR2 or even Ford Probe. Plenty on ebay
I thought they could do the job, and I think it is what I have

They have to be X1/9 in this case Steve.
'Hopeless buying from the EU or US these days.
I just wondered if (because replica builders use Mazda M5 Mk1 motors) that there may be some redundant X1/9 lift motors lying around.
It doesn't look like it?

I have got some Chris. Might be four. Just not sure on condition. I won't be using them. Even on the Allora. I'd much rather use the Ford/Mazda motors.

Thanks John,

Did the Probe have them?
Didn't that use the 626 floorpan?

Yes Chris. Was a bit of an oddity the Probe wasn't it.
Neighbour had one in his 'collection'. Same Mazda motors.

If you can spare it Andrew?, then yes, thank you.

I will have a look and see if I can match up any other bits - Looks like John has you sorted for motors but if not give me a shout as they were used by Ginetta on the G32. A mate of mine may have a couple spare - May need new diodes - I had to replace a few on my G32's - May even have some left over!
