[DeTomaso] Sort of NPC: 2 ZF 's on BaT for BMW M-1

[Julian Kift]

Mike,

Discussion among experts suggest these are not BMW M1 ZF's, I think David Nunn postulated they may be Lancia 037 units and have different gearing and perhaps input shaft etc. One has been seriously butchered to accommodate a hydraulic throw out bearing.

By the time you win the auction, have them rebuilt and reconfigured I think you'd be better off purchasing a new unit direct from Lloyd.

There is a listing on BaT right now for a pair of ZF transmissions
originally produced for the BMW M-1.  Could these be converted for use in a
Pantera?  They do not have bell housings and the case appears to be
different (no shifter box).  Still, unusual to see these on BaT.
