Thanks - I've spoken to Tom, drawn a blank, I will drop Keith an email also... ! It's a very rare part I think, as far as I know the only option is to use a generic one with a modified connectorRe the Cam sensor you need - Worth speaking to Keith (Beschi) at Eurovettes or Tom Falconer perhaps? Although obviously you have some good contacts & "fans" in the US now.
Thanks, that's really helpful! I've emailed them to ask if they have physical stock - I've found in the past that alot of parts suppliers list 100s of items thinking they've got a supplier and it's only when an order is placed that they find out it's NLA.... The actual sensor I need is 10096172 but I think 10137658 would do the same job from what I've read up on. There is a generic one you can use but it needs a sleeve of a very specific diameter and needs to have the connector re-pinned... I'd buy one immediately but the chap who sells them is hard to get hold of!
As you might have seen (?) says in here that if you use 10137658 instead of 10096172, you also need the "shield" part (whatever that is/does?)

Yep - The shield is just a small metal plate that I think acts as a heat shield due to proximity of the manifold... Looking at it I am sure it could be modified to fit without too much effort!As you might have seen (?) says in here that if you use 10137658 instead of 10096172, you also need the "shield" part (whatever that is/does?)

Thanks - I have seen those, as I understand it needs an additional sleeve fitting because it’s not the right diameter? I’m wondering if an o ring at the base of the shaft would work just as well. I might just buy one and see how it fits!Shame people would spend like $200-300 for a sensor can be bought for $38 US
This has been used for many years as a 3rd party one for ZR-1 LT-5 that just needs the wiring connector added

Thanks! You’d be surprised… We were trying to work it out but we think a grand total of around 16-18 hours so not much time at all…. sadly we have to fit it in around day jobs so we tend to film and work on the car every Tuesday from 5.30 pm until 9ish. Frustrating!Another great video above from the men in Notts
Hi Llewelyn - you asked on your last video what we all thought about the price you paid for the ZR1?. On the basis that you both bought what could still potentially be a financial can of worms I think you have done quite well so far......(and especially considering the amount of time it had be standing AND the fact that it had been stored in the open) I think the price paid was reasonable. However add the cost of parts purchased (and factor-in the likelyhood that most like over an extende period you'd be replacing them anyway as part of running servicing etc) then the total so far is looking good. Depending on your plans with the car (and if you intend it to become a long term 'keeper') given that some specific parts are becoming difficult to source.......perhaps consider buying-in some of these parts as and when they become available on the market and establish USA contacts on specific forums. I seem to recall a few years ago an ex-Lotus engineer who had been envolved with the development of the ZR1 engine was 'toying' with opening a museum in Norfolk dedicated to the ZR1 Corvette.......don't how 'real' that was......someone within the CCCUK should know?
Not too sure - Just recall when I was doing the editor 'thing' some people were talking about it - tbh I can't remember who......could have been some east anglia guys - just recall that the person had some money behind him and was either lookig for or had potential premises - persons name was kept under wraps and ultimately I never heard any more.
