From weslake1330 at gmail.com Sat Jun 1 04:15:57 2024 From: weslake1330 at gmail.com (Weslake1330) Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2024 11:15:57 +0100 Subject: [Spridgets] Project update - actually a new small project start Message-ID: Hi List, Work continues on my Sprite and the front suspension is mostly all back together and the Sprite is back on its wheels. I have to fit my new fuel line at the rear (its fitted at the front) before I can return to the front suspension My Sprite has an 11/16 " anti-roll (sway) bar mounted in solid aluminium blocks made by Motobuild and they are no longer available, as far as I know. Over the years (maybe 30 years) there is some wear in the blocks and the bar has some play in the blocks. So, my new small project is to make some new blocks. If there are no project updates it means I've botched the job and given up. I have bought (ebay) some imperial aluminium alloy bar exactly the same size as the original blocks. Apart from cutting it into lengths, I have to drill the locating holes for each half block and then drill the 11/16" centre hole with the two halves bolted together. I do have a drill press, a vise and toe clamps to fasten the vise to the drill press table so it ought to be possible to achieve this with adequate accuracy. I also have an 11/16" hand reamer in the post (ebay) so I can be sure the centre hole for the bar is round and true (if you call roundess true"). I haven't decided what size I will drill the hole to but I plan on drilling under 11/16" and may need a new drill to do this (makes the project more expensive). I guess the challenge will be to ensure not so much the hole (channel?) for the anti roll bar is exactly central but rather that it is in exactly the same place for both pairs of blocks. Might be a few days before I start on this. Regards Daniel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, before attempting to make another pair of blocks I needed to order some bar because I originally only ordered bar long enough for 2 pairs. That bar arrived today. So far I have cut bar for 2 more pairs and drilled them 5/16". After a while I discovered that WD40 makes drilling aluminium a lot easier and the chips don't clog or jam on the bit. I haven't test fitted any of the new sets on my Sprite but have bolted them together in the orientation that was the best fit (this isn't zero tolerance mass production!). I also then stamped a single letter on each piece so I have an A / A pair, a B / B pair and a C / C pair. The stamping are such that it's obvious which way each pair fits together. Because each pair of bolts isn't exactly perfect in a centre line plane to each other I marked the centre point for the anti-roll (sway) bar after bolting the pair together (the pair of bolt heads were used to get a reference line, and then drilled 17mm (the recommended size for reaming 11/16"). What that means is that once the pair of blocks is bolted onto the car the hole for the bar will be exactly 90 degrees from the bolt holes, even if the blocks themselves aren't. I'm guessing that was what Motobuild did because both sides of the original blocks have a filed/ground finish rather than the smooth finish of new bar. For some reason I ordered a 3/4" reamer rather than an 11/16" reamer so I'm waiting for the new reamer to arrive but I can drill and then ream my original blocks to 3/4" to use with a 3/4" bar if I wanted to try one out. When I do get the 11/16" reamer I have decided to fit each pair of blocks to the car which may require slight filing of the bolt holes to get them to fit. Then once they are bolted onto my Sprite I will then ream the hole for the roll bar while they are on the car which should resolve any slight movement of each half of the hole . If I do the same thing with the second pair of blocks the bar ought to be perfectly aligned in both holes. However, I can also use my C / C pair if they align better with the A / A pair than the B / B pair, or make another pair. I guess Motobuild must have done something similar to get matched pairs because while my original blocks have numbers on them, they aren't consecutive - one pair is 6 / 6 (or 9 / 9) and the pair is 31 / 31. Other updates - I have sourced some Koni front shock absorbers for the Frontline kit on my car to replace the original Koni front shock absorbers that while work ok (perfectly ok) are quite heavily corroded so might not last another 20+ years. They are also less expensive that the price I was given by Frontline for AVO Shock absorbers (which was a standard fit on later kits). They are a slightly different model (the originals were a special build and NLA) but should work ok (perfectly ok).

I was disappointed with how the reaming went until the 3rd set of blocks where I found turning the reamer anti-clock wise a lot, helped it. I have the A and B set of blocks on the car with anti-tramp (swap) clamped between them and the bar is tight. In fact it's tighter than I would like which might be a slight mis-alignment between the blocks, the paint on the bar, or lack of grease. However, tight is ok because the old blocks were loose. I'll have a look at things mid-week and maybe try combinations of A+C and B+C to see if it makes any difference. The delay is because I need to drill a hole and tap a 1/4 UNF thread for the grease nipple. I know you guys call them Zerks but I think nipple is a more interesting word to use. The actual delay though is that I don't have a 1/4 UNF tap so have had to order one from eBay. The new Koni shock-absorbers (dampers) arrived today but without the extra bushes specific to my Frontline installation so I have a delay on getting those fitted. I am thinking about the next project which is to make some new bottom brackets for the frontline kit using thick-wall tube rather than solid bar. I also then need to decide if the fastening fixing will be metric or imperial (the top is already metric). Regards Daniel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

English history isn't really my thing (apart from mostly automotive history) and I was interested to learn this castle has a British car connection.

This put us late in Warwick and our lunch at the Cape. I even operated the canal lock for a strikingly attractive women traversing England solo. It was here we were going to attempt to meet up with you but you had prior commitments. Kenilworth was on my list but it were closed. We stopped at every F1 works. Haas actually let us in as they had just moved. We put on 2600 miles from OxBridge, Silverstone, Bletchley Park going out to Land's End, of course Perranporth and Trebah and every auto museum(Gaydon had me near tears with all the automotive history) and RAF base in between. Timed it for Beaulieu Autojumble and Goodwood 3 days before the Festival. Great time wish I could have brought back some Doom Bar ale!! Much better than Old Speckled Hen.

I had just visited him at his home 6 months or so ago to pick up some valve parts for my 1275 rebuild. I knew of his medical problems. We discussed them at length many times. I had no idea it was that life threatening. He was in the process of finding a new place to do business to sell off his inventory and concentrate on turning out cams only. We definitely lost a wealth of knowledge and I lost a dear friend. I had no idea he was gone until now. Not pleasant news to wake up to. I feel for his widow who is left to close out the business and get rid of all the inventory that was left. Rest in peace David.
