THAT is what I am talking about.

I want to be flying the flag at Hockenheim next year.

PS the same calculators indicate that a T3 needs circa 135 hp to do 100mph, which would tally with the new car performance data for the SA 2.6 and also my own real-world experience from when this bus had the EJ22 (although it struggled make full power revs in 5th due to a full load misfire)

Don't know the difference between a full bodied van and Doka weight wise and drag but guess not a million miles away. Gti with mild cam with crap exhaust , ABD box and 215/65/16 maxed out at 101mph on my own private bit of the M5. Don't know if this helps your calcs but if it was 120 bhp I would be surprised.

Nice one. If nothing else, it shows I am working with the right sort of numbers. Thats all that matters at this stage.

First to call it.

I'll fit a go pro on my tail gate to document it........

Birthday bonus!
The chap who sold me the UN1 (who amazingly lives just across town!) called in with the old driveshafts, so I popped the splined centres out and gave him back the rest for his project.
Four cutting discs later and some fun "hard turning" and I have some DIY output shaft centres, ready to have 108mm CV flanges welded on, when I have some 4.5" steel blanks...


Anyone know what an 094 measures over the CV mounting faces of the driveshaft flanges?

280mm give or take

givaway that you're a southerner right there chap.. Those discs have got loads of life left in them yet son.

Thanks Ady. Billet offcut rack at steel stockholder is my next destination...

So...the machined Renault CV hubs measure 235 over their faces when fitted. So I need to put circa 22mm on each side to get the CVs back into range (although the bus is lowered)
I had a rummage around the shop and found an old 5.25" dia steel pulley, 50mm wide, a leftover pattern from a long-dead job.
After a face up to confirm that it is a suitable steel (it was rusty and tough!) I carved it down to 113mm dia. Should be able to get a pair of 20mm thick recessed flanges out of it ok

Unless anyone has a more accurate measurement from a transmission thats out on the bench...?

give me a bell during the day

He's good. Damn good.

Magic numbers are 277.6 between the CV's, 285 over the retaining lips.

I managed to get a parting blade nicely down the middle of the pulley and the welding went ok...

The root run looked a bit light so I went round them again

All worked out nicely with 143 from centreline to face. Happy days!

I will get those recessed, drilled and tapped tomorrow

Ian - are you aware of these people?
