Hi All Does anyone have a spare plastic cover off a TD/TE/TF cortina handbrake they are willing to part with? Please email me at: clubmanproject@... ...
I don't think we have had anyone actually post since then. Perhaps people have gone away on holidays? - Peter Ogden http://www.locost7.info ... From:...
I'am still here, it's very quiet for me even the number of rubbish spamming has dropped off. With a bit of luck the person thats been doing it may have been ...
... yahoo changed/rejected my email address (went from yahoo to yahoo7) which dropped me out of the members list and I had to rejoin. Cheers all Rod...
Hello to the list, I've just signed up this week, having been trundling around the Locost sites for 4 months now. A friend of mine in Adelaide (I live in ...
hi robert, good to see someone close by also building (im in gladstone) i am building a +100 and 50mm higher sides (im a big boy :-) ) i am useing a pintara...
G'day I seem to have lost my copy of "the book" Can anyone direct me to some good front cycle guard mounting pictures? thanks Patrick [Non-text portions of...
The only one I have handy is this one (not the best, but maybe it will help?): http://www.locost7.info/files/suspension/Susp_fr_r.jpg - Peter Ogden ...
Hi Robert, Welcome to the list. With reference to your rear axle choice, ideally you should aim for an axle that has the same bolt pattern as the front hubs. ...
Giday Rob. I'm also building a +100 FMS chassis. Also Pintara Diff. The old boxy falcon diff centers drop straight in and are 25 spline. Easy and cheap way...
Firstly many thanks everyone. Les, great site. It is one of the better sites to read and navigate. Rob, I'm going to go live axle, but thanks for the r33...
Rob, Don't discount the Liteace hubs/uprights because they're nice vented discs too. TE/TF uprights are different from the book geometry as it is, so you're...
Cool set up. Where are you going to find zephyr hubs??? And they may be expensive??? Is the liteace 4 or 5 stud? Good luck mate. At least the standard width...
Rob, Don't worry about the geometry change. You just need to make a few adjustments. However tim made a very valid point about the brakes coming from the...
http://iainseven.wordpress.com/ The Lite ace is a reasonable choice for a running gear donor the diff has a 4;1 ration and would be suitable to use in a book...
Iain, Where would your 'favourite scrap metal merchants' happen to be??? I have had trouble finding one of these since moving here. We had an awsome one back...
I go to S&M metals at lawnton they maybe not quite as big as the one you talk to but they do have an ever changing range of goodies Cheers Iain ... From: Brad...
Falcon is 5x114 iirc Liteace is 4x114 - Hiace is 5x114. Both have similar width axle to Cortina iirc (around 1400mm). Mitsi L300 is also 5x114. Uses variant...
Folks, I've been playing with suspension geometry, & not knowing any better, modelling up to 5 degrees chassis roll. Is this reasonable? Can anyone suggest any...
All, The "Great Aussie Clubman Roundup" is now known as the "Clubman Nationals", and in 2007 is being held in Adelaide, October 26 - 28, 2007. In it's 4th...
Hi Gavin In one of Staniforths books he calculates wheel angles at 1, 2, and 3 degrees of roll, that's for a race car, so 5 is probably in the ball park for a...
I guess this is part of the challenge in building a Locost. Trying to decide which vehicle to source parts from and fit with a basic idea of the finished...
The chances of geting all the bits you need from one donor are fairly slim these days and realistically the gearbox ratios from an L300 or LiteAce are probably...
Hey Keith, 50mm is the norm, but you can use 38mm too (1 1/2"). Depends on what your local bender (ooh er) is capable of doing. Genesis Auto Dev in WA have...
Robert, The L300 is on my short list. This is what I have found out about it, from various Mitsi forums, and from the workshop manual at the local library....
The Toyota's use a G-model gearbox, with wide ratios. iirc Ford Sierra ratios were 3.7/2.2/1.3/1/.8 or there about. Mitsubishi use a variant of their rwd car...
