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.

[Dave Adams]

This is what I often do on an evening. ....my pet cats (I have 5) want to have me take them for a walk....it's the big ginger Tom who pester''s me into taking him. The others tag along if they come at all.

[Brian (up north) Morris]

lol no lead 

[Dave Adams]

the big tom is very good at following me. the others less so. the thing is cats dont respect boundary’s gates and high fences / walls just dont phase them they go where they want. 8  foot high fences are just aerial walk ways.

My Dunlop tracking gauges got used for real today.....

I had set the car up by eye......and it came in at 1 degree toe in....not bad but I adjusted it to 20 minutes toe in.

My camber gauge got used as well.....I have set both sides to .75mm negative 

All nipped up and adjusted....

[James Doulton]

"0.75mm"? what is that in degrees? My Legerra is about 2.5 degrees negative, which means that the outside wheel is pretty much vertical when cornering at the limit of grip. My body roll is virtually 3 degrees, two up, or 2 degrees solo (measured from photos of the car in action at Castle Combe). Of course, I didn't set that up - it was like that.
