Guys I,m looking for the selector cross shaft from the rear casing on a 5sp. UN1 gearbox...stripped my box to rebuild & fit a Quaife LSD then moved house...seems I,ve lost my selector shaft...anyone have a spare.

Any of our members still in contact with Rene...I was during his scratch build...I,m looking to ask him if he still has a PDF for the suspension drawings...doing my own thing now & need the dimension drawing for the front uprights & the bearing carrier.

Agree, It,s just that it,s been a few years now...does any of our French members know if Rene still has his car & if it,s possible to contact him...I was in contact during his build

Bit of a long shot...but does anyone have a PDF of the front & rear ally uprights that Rene Jacquies built for his scratch built...looking for the dimensional drawing for the front upright & bearing carrier

I done the same thing...met my girlfriend at Heathrow, then on to South Wales & stayed the night with Ken... drove the Red xr3i next day...put down a deposit. RIP Ken.

Fred, Update with a Renault Alpine 610 clutch fork, from any Ren. dealer...broken pins are a common fault on UN. boxes...I have 2 Alpines...I know.

Andy, You may have movement on your flywheel...so the oval bearing...you definately have the WRONG bolts... A2. 8.8 stainless are not strong enough & the washers are the wrong size...you MUST FIT PROPER 12.9 FLYWHEEL BOLTS & no WASHERS. EDDIE.

Graham, Are you at Zandvoort this weekend for the Historic 3 day event. Eddie.

Markus, I understand what you are saying...fig 10 to me looks about perfect...the rods are straight & the pivots are at 1 o,clock...remember you have 8 throtle bodies, any kind of pedal movement will make the engine sound sensitive...personnally I have mine set up this way & love the short...

Markus, When I look at pictures 4 & 5 off your central pivot, you have what we call over centre pivots...meaning your rods are to near 12 o,clock to permit smooth action of the control rods..ie...if you draw a line through the center of the pivot at 90deg. to your TB,s the bolt hole for the...

Markus, A little tip...I always allign my rods with their relivant fixing , then tighten them OFF the central pivot...It may take a few goes to get them correct...with the left & right threads... but I find in the long run it,s better...check you do not have to much upward or downward angle on...

Markus, You cannot set your ITB,s with just the linkage...you have to disconnect the 2 rods from the central pivot... I use a motorbike 4 meter set up...50euro... that I have calibrated using a known vaccum... individually set your ITB,s one by one using the vaccum from the inlet manifold...one...

David, Who modified the throttle linkage to suit the Toyota 4 age TBs, on your inlet system...I have the same set-up but cobbled the mods myself & your,s puts mine to shame. Cheers Eddie.

Stephen, I don,t want to hi-jack your thread...but Bert, I,m building something similar hear in Leiden...a Renault Alpine which I,ve converted from rear to mid engine with a rear chassis section built by myself...ex-FIA mechanic & fabricator...I would be interested in your knowledge of the RDW...

I have just purchased, from a member, a set off S.S. pedals...to those who have constructed their own...I want to modify the lower pivot point to accept a ball or roller bearing with hardened pin assembly...can you advise me on what type of bearings you used. Cheers Eddie.
