S1 Rebuild(s)

[Dave Adams]

some pics of the rebuild process,

the top trailing arm bracket is broke......

the diff is sloping back a little (looking up) so that will need sorting.......

As you can see there isn't a lot of bracing in an S1 chassis, that will be sorted.

So are you making a steel inlet, or are you going to weld aluminium?

[Steve and Matt Pegrum]

We cheated and bought one ready made. Otherwise it uses all those parts.

Ally would be nice....but it's likely to be steel.....
I looked at buying a manifold. But I am too tight to pay for one...☺☺

[John Allen]

Sure I have alu one and plastic.

My inlet manifold adaptor plate made from 3mm thick plate.....just need some short tubes about 1 1/2" diameter to make the inlet runners and fit to a plenum. ...hopefully a runner soon.

[Dave Adams]

A little more filing for the ports and it's good enough...

[Steve Kerswell]

Did you do it by hand Dave, in true pioneering spirit ???

[Dave Adams]

Yes I did......and a royal pain in the bum it was too.....

Chain drilled. Cold chiseled. ..and hand filed.

[Steve Kerswell]

Love it :-))

[James Doulton]

Good job!

[Dave Adams]

Fitted to the injector plate cut from the old plastic manifold. ...

[Dave Adams]

Trial fitted to the engine....to check for clearance and to work out the angle to cut the inlet runners.
