S1 Rebuild(s)
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.

Just ordered a new propshaft for my car from D+F Propshafts in Leeds.......just tell them the length and the gearbox type as well as the diff. they Quoted £120 + VAT so £145 for a custom propshaft.
that seems a good price, they will even courier it to me for £12 if needed.

Made and fitted a throttle pedal today......
A little more work to the pedals they will be perfect.

There is over 2" more room than the standard S1 for the pedals. The clutch and brake are standard mk2 cortina spacing.

Also started on my inlet manifold. The ford plastic plenum and injector rail have been cut off and I now need to make a adapter plate and weld some tubes to it and to a 4" pipe as a plenum. .....
It's a bit of hassle....
Going to order a 500mm long 100mm X 3mm flat bar from eBay. .....should make a good adapter plate.

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

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