UP-15 tie rod end #1, PN 45046-19025, (Outer) LHT M14x1.5 does not seem to be avialable through Toyota any more. (Of course neither is #2 PN 45047-19025) This...
They came out beautiful! Took the machinist 2.5 hours, but I now have two sets of rods that accept VW con rod bearings. The VW bearings are available in all...
Rich, can you be more specific: Are these Toyota rods modified to take VW bearings? And what did they have to do? Was the OD on the VW too large, which...
Matt, et al They are standard Toyota 800 2U rods. They had to be bored out and notches cut in to accept the VW bearings. The VW bearings are wider than the...
Does anyone have a connecting rod that I can beg borrow or steal. Bent or broken is OK, as long as the big end is undamaged. I want to see if I can take the VW...
At the rate the world economy is going we may start seeing more Publica and Sports 800 autos come out of the woodwork. Are you ready for that garage find? R...
The real problem is that there may be no cars in the woodwork to come out. First, damn few cars to begin with, second, lots of cars went outside or to the...
Hi, I have got an S800 that I really love but at 6' 3" it is rather a squeeze, especialy with the standard steering wheel. I am not going to cut up the...
Martin, I was the proud holder of a really sad steering wheel, and did (with sorrow) cut it up to use the factory center to mount an aftermarket wheel. I was...
Hi Guys, I have been looking to acquire a nice S800 to add to our Microcar collection here in Massachusetts. I am willing to pay a fair price but not the...
Several manufactures made wheel bosses that fit the UP15. Momo, Nardi and others. They take all standard after market wheels. Most bosses are listed for...
Rich, do you have a manufacturer and/or part number? Help me make Patty happy. -----Original Message----- From: "Rich S." Sent: Oct 17, 2008 9:45 AM To:...
Mine is a Momo. I do not recall a number on the box. The box just has a hand written "Publica/Copain to '75" I will check the box again when I get home...
Let us know when you find one that fit your criteria. Don't criticize the people and asking prices just because you are not willing to pay them. Rich...
I have to come to Charles' defense. We all know that the $32k paid at Retromobile Paris was nuts. He is looking, not for a museum piece, but one to drive and...
Thanks. I have just bought the Corolla one off of e-bay so will let you know how it works out. The suspension details will follow but whilst some of the bushes...
I have some questions on wheel and tire combination : What size 13" tire should I use ? Will a 185 X 60 X13 on a 6" wheel work? And what is the widest wheel...
While digging in the files I found this tidbit: "Five of these vehicles (Sports 800) had been imported to the Bahamas in 1968, and with the parts car that I...
Nobody else has anything to say about tires? Mine rub on the inner rear fender if I hit a pot hole. I figure it is a combination of bad shocks and too fat! The...
I recall that Max has 13's on his car. We could get his tire size, and ask if he has contact problems? I will say that, first thing out of the body shop, on...
The Peugeot wheels are 108 pcd with a 20mm offset. Original Toyota 800 wheels are about 35mm offset (hard to measure with tire on). 60mm bore. If John says the...
