First Line Ltd. has partnered with Caterham to provide bespoke drive plates and cover assemblies specifically designed for Caterham's Ford Duratec engine models, with the unique components only available to Caterham.
Caterham, known for its commitment to the driving experience, utilises First Line’s components in several of its iconic models. For the UK market, these include the 360, 420, and 620, while for overseas markets, they are featured in the 340 and 485 models.
This exclusive supply ensures that Caterham vehicles continue to deliver the high performance and reliability that their drivers expect.
Drive plates and cover assemblies play a crucial role in the performance of a vehicle’s drivetrain. High-quality drive plates ensure smooth power transfer from the engine to the transmission, while robust cover assemblies provide the necessary pressure to engage the clutch effectively.
Using inferior components can lead to premature wear, reduced performance and potential drivetrain failure.
First Line Ltd. is committed to supplying premium quality products to the global automotive aftermarket. All of its drivetrain components are fully tested and quality checked during production to ensure premium quality assurance.
The range covers all popular LCV, RWD, and 4WD vehicles, with OE bearings fitted as standard. Additionally, a comprehensive 2-year/24,000-mile warranty is provided for total peace of mind.
Caterham, with its rich history dating back to the late 1950s, continues to produce vehicles that epitomise the mantra ‘Pure, Simple, Fun.’
This philosophy has guided Caterham for over fifty years, resulting in vehicles that deliver an unparalleled driving experience. From the ultra-lightweight Seven 170, to the high-performance Seven 620R, its models are designed to provide maximum fun and excitement for drivers.
Kelvin Olds, Product Director at First Line Ltd., said: “All of our drive plates and cover assemblies are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the highest levels of quality and performance and are therefore perfect for the standard that Caterham demands. It’s great to partner with Caterham, who has a rich and prolific history in the automotive industry and who always puts quality first. Our bespoke parts will ensure that every Caterham vehicle performs at its best, providing drivers with the exhilarating experience they have come to expect from this iconic brand.”
George Campbell, Caterham Chief Engineer said: “First Line’s bespoke components thoroughly complement the performance and reliability expected from our vehicles. The quality of their products aligns perfectly with our philosophy: lightweight, niche vehicle manufacture to provide a thrilling driving experience. We are delighted to work with a supplier that understands our needs and delivers parts that exceed our expectations.”
