Various aircooled engine and gearbox bits
« on: May 21, 2008, 03:18:14 PM »
i've almost started my next project, which is going to be an aircooled in a lot of bits. the car itself has a body with wheels and some interior.. other than that i have lots of gearbox parts and an engine..

-
update:
i've been offered a free fiat 500D shell, which is likely to become my new project instead, so bits are likely going into one of those instead, if it makes a difference to anything. due to the difficulty of finding arts here ill probably be using all 126 parts anyway, since i have alot already, including a 652cc engine.
-

i'm going to need a lot of help filling in the bits here and there that i dont have, since the guy i got these parts from was about the last source of parts around here:(

the parts i know i need ill list here, ill update the list as i find out more stuff i need.

so far i need:
carb (or some bits from a carb, let me know if you have an incomplete one)
fuel pump
air cleaner cover and rubber tube
air intake hose (that really massive one)
rear engine mount (i have the threaded plate that goes on the engine, but that is all)
the metal bracket that the gearbox mounts attach to
gear linkage preferably with bolts
distributor cap (blank)
dual coil
heater box (i might need a fiat 500 one, looking at a 650cc installation guide for a fiat 500)


used parts preferable as i'm doing everything on the cheap, it's a project for me to learn from as much as it is to get another car going..

Dear Phreak 97,
Greetings to our Antipodean, Ex-Colonial cousins.
How goes your quest for all those bit? It's a real shame about the distance, as I have tons of that sort of cr*p tripping me up, every time I enter my garage.
I assume that shipping a load a metal, halfway round the world would cost a fair bit?

Respect ......Norman

haha,
my quest has actually gone fairly well. over the next few days we'll find out exactly how well, cos i'll likely be going to go pick up some stuff.
i think i have located the fan casing etc and an alterator, hopefully a starter motor if im lucky, after that ill only need small bits which i'd be happy to pay shipping for.
thanks for your reply, if you could let me know what bits you do have from my list i'll probably be happy to pay shipping on some or most of it.:D

i'm actually getting a fiat 500 body to do up instead now, but all the plans are the same aside from that.

list updated according to what i think i'm getting already
