What’s on the hoist…

Richard has been busy troubleshooting, removing, rebuilding, and swapping engines the past few weeks.

From shoehorning an R32 into a VW Doka Transporter, to beginning a full rebuild of a French engine in an ANF1500 historic racer he’s been doing what we like to do most. Solving problems and keeping customers on track.

Some months it’s a constant stream of gearbox rebuilds. October was apparently fuel tank month.

A few new RF88/89 and Swift FF tanks. Three aluminium fuel tank repairs and a little progress on the Lotus 22 tank which was my start into aluminium welding.

Next time you have access to it, maybe check the condition of your fuel tank. Two of the tank repairs this month had holes in the bottom of the tank where rivets had worn away the metal.

Two had been “patched” with epoxy, which cracked and leaked again. Removing the epoxy residue to weld a crack is generally more work than a repair done properly initially.

Last month we had an historic Formula Ford in for collision repair and a gearbox overhaul.

A new removable rear cross member was made to replace the original and return the rear suspension pickups to their correct locations. All bronze welded, with the correct metalastic bushes added for the gearbox mounts.

Out the door, today, a 1962 Lotus Elite Super95 which came in to be recommissioned after a 17 year hibernation.

The happy owner was heading straight home to take his wife out for a drive.

We have two more Lotus Elites in the shop right now, and with 40 years experience can tackle anything on these thoroughbreds from a pre-purchase inspection to a full rebuild.

On the bench this week was a monstrous Hewland NLT 6 speed sequential transaxle. We received a box of shrapnel from two blown up transaxles, one complete case and a box of spares the customer had collected, and turned it back into a gearbox.

Some missing parts which were not in stock at the factory were machined in house to keep the project moving forward.

With a fully configurable Powerflow differential and 6 forward gears this box is headed for the reborn Fd Sports sedan replacing the original overstressed DG 300 box.

Looking forward to seeing how quick this already fast sports sedan can be with the wick turned up now the transaxle is sized for the task.

Off the bench this week, a Mk8 Formula Ford gearbox.
This one needed a full rebuild with a newly converted VW maincase, modified in house, a new bearing carrier, differential, CWP, pinion shaft hubs and selector fork. In keeping with the immaculate presentation of the car, the castings were vapour blasted in house.

The corrosion and wear inside the case really brought home the benefit of regularly replacing the oil in your transaxle.

We are looking forward to chasing this gearbox through the field when it returns to the track.
