Zelandeth Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Could be worse, could be a Pinto! ...Or a Gardner 6LXW. That at had a good excuse to be heavy though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Speed Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I fitted a 17acr to my Traction Avant. You can’t get more French than that. I used a couple of stacks of washers as spacers for the lower mount and made a new top mount from a bit of flat steel strip which I must paint one day.

That at had a good excuse to be heavy though! 860lb (390kg) for my engine and 'box; that represents 52% of the weight of a complete Renault 6. Quit yer whinin'. Alternator would probably be less of a headache, even with bracket fabrication in the long run. Glad to see movement on this again. Gotta love obtuse French cars!

quicksilver Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 So the Buckingham chapter of Bob's life came to an end today. Windmill Dave came bright and early, loaded him up and set course for Bristol and @djoptix Out of the garage and meeting the Mondeo for the first and last time Easy to push onto the road Up he goes That's quite steep but Dave's winch made light work of such a light car Loaded up... ...strapped down... ...and away into the distance. Bye bye Bob, it's been a fun and frustrating three years. djoptix has already started his own thread so look there for Bob's continuing adventures. This chapter of his life is now closed but a new chapter is just beginning. Farewell old friend and I hope we meet again someday.
