Finally the last bits and pieces are welded. Due to other – more interesting – priorities this was put aside but now everything is done.
As we mentioned before we changed the front suspension. Our first idea was to use an original M3 suspension part.
Few words this time, just a few snapshots of the unfinished reinforcements on front and swingarm.
Another difficult birth. Nevertheless, the choice on the market in available engine mounts for the S14 is fairly large.
But we were once again tempted to go and get the mustard from Delage in the first place.
After having changed our minds several times, we finally found a good solution to mount our Sadev properly on the S14 bottom block.
Despite the long weekends not much progress on the R-Box BMW. Although it looks like it …we were not sleeping.
Some quick snapshots…
Because of the fact that certain parts have not yet been received, but also because of the lump sum of my loyal help / navigator for this weekend, I decided to carry out some infrastructure works in the R-Box basement. I am fully aware that this news item is of no value to most visitors to our site but it is rather in my own interest to show that I worked my own this weekend 🙂 To be honest, I must confess that my father took care of the paintings otherwise I would never have finished it so quickly, for which I am grateful!
With this so some completely useless photos
Together with Luc we spent a full day measuring and fitting to get the pedal box in place. At first it was suggested to have a piece of my legs surgically removed but fortunately I was able to turn the tide and we decided to make 3 round cut-outs in the bulkhead so that it is now possible to move the pedals if the brake cylinders used (compact or the long version) and still keep my full leg length.
Our Intrax suspension is for sale at the moment !
After some sleepless nights we decided to forget about the limited budget and to go for the full group A uprights and triangles. We keep on collaborating with Intrax and are going to use the same shock absorbers but with another housing.
Not much updates on the BMW itself but we spent some time thinking about the engine, suspension en the steering. Lots of parts are ordered , this means that there will be some updates in the near future..
To be continued…
We have been searching for months for 48mm TB’s and a spare cilinderhead. Finally we found what we were looking for. ; a complete head with TB’s.
