Thank you frank for a very informative chat and now have discovered the true cause of lack of reverse!!! ITS THE GEARBOX SELECTOR SHAFT. Using mole grips on the shaft it selects 1 to 6th easily then if Im correct it enters the gating for reverse and then locks out just short of engage ment...

thanks all have just tried with the collets both below the bearing but still not enough movement. where in uk can I get a threaded rose joint of larger dimension but same thread size to fit into the rf mounting point. I can turn a bush to fit . tried all three spline poss settings but reverse...

However much I try cannot get enough movement to get all the gears .Have achieved all 6 forward gears then cannot quite get reverse always slipping into 1st Looking at the gear stick itsself its movement is limited by its rose joint and its steel collets held with circlips see pics to increase...

Re: rf118 The wheels are 17 in supplied as new by rf ,blo*** difficult to get tyres for here in the uk Ended up with cooper tyres imported from usa. the width 275 was the problem

Re: rf118 nearly there ,filler dust seems to keep appearing!

It appears that as long as the last link ie the rod between the rack and the end of the column is angled by no more than 30 degrees but is not straight so that any colission force is deviated away from straight up the column it is acceptable. kit car solutions do a sva collapsable boss Also...

Im nearly there with a good seal but for the door pillar end its ****** difficult to bend the rubber successfully .determined to get there

has anyone photos of their lower sill door rubber mounting where it meets the rear door pillar and the front hinged area really struggling to achieve a nice fit here. A pre-bent piece came with the kit but by no means hardy enough.

have now done exactly the same as both of you except put a silicon type petrol resistant gasket between the cap and fiberglass and the fiberglass and swan neck.The swan neck was too large to fit in the frame so needed to exprience the angle grinder prior to final fitment.The good thing about...

That really seems to be a good way as it also avoids finding some one with small hannds to help put the nuts on!!!!

The car is now in final assembly and just fixing the front spider down. the question now arrises should I mount the fuel filler flange in a sandwich formation with the fiberglass as the centre or mount the flange on top of the fiberglass then the fuel filler cap directly on top . the fiber...

Re: rf118 gear box and engine arrived soon after wards as there had been an enormous wait for delivery (due march arrived jan 06)

Re: rf118 firstly there were pictures from sa of its assembly then it arrived fullof bits

I am looking for the same and currently am looking at tornado sports cars uk as the rf is claimed to be a very similar copy. However I was very impressed with those of spf in SA as they heated and warped the window to achieve a flush fitting of the small flaps as per original but with a good seal.

having been one of the lucky ones and getting my SA RF40 delivered minus a bin load of parts it now nears completion and has just returned from paint to undergo final assembly (with still a few parts to find ) not wishing to rub salt in the wounds of those who recieved nothing i have waited a...
