Re: SP250 B-spec chassis outrigger dimensions needed

Hello Dave, Many thanks for your response and the partial chassis drawing. The other dimension I am interested in is the distance that those ears (flanges) on the end of the outriggers are from the outside of the main chassis rails. In other words, how far are the chassis sills spaced off the main r...

SP250 B-spec chassis outrigger dimensions needed

Hello everyone, Greetings from upstate NY. I am hoping that someone on the forum may have a few dimensions they can get for me for an SP250 B-spec chassis. Brief background: I am working with a skilled fabricator to do some needed repairs to my B-spec chassis for my SP250 restoration. We are nearly ...

Re: Assessing Daimler V8 cylinder heads

Thank you Dave and Kevin. The dimension and allowable skimming tolerance are exactly what I was seeking. Kevin, it is good to know that thick head gaskets are available if needed.

Best regards,
Dan

Assessing Daimler V8 cylinder heads

Hello everyone, I have an opportunity to buy a Daimler V8 engine out of a '65 saloon car. A friend has purchased the car but it is notably rusty, interior is shot, veneer dashboard is de-laminating, and the engine is out of the car and apart. The car is likely to be parted out, so I have expressed i...

Re: Larry Ligas SP250 racing Dart

Hello everyone, Here is a write-up on Larry's racing SP250. It apparently runs a Jericho competition 4-speed gearbox. For some reason, I thought it had a Sunbeam Tiger rear axle assembly, but the article says Austin Healey 3000. http://www.britishracecar.com/LarryLigas-Daimler-SP250.htm Thank you fo...

Re: SP250 inner axle shafts - spline count?

Hello Dave, Many thanks for the information. At 18 splines, there is no obvious tie-up with the Dana Spicer units, but it is interesting to continue to learn about these cars. Thank you for your kind offer as well --I will be starting on my rear axle as part of the restoration sometime this summer a...

SP250 inner axle shafts - spline count?

Hello everyone, I have not had the opportunity yet to dissemble my rear axle assembly for my SP250, but was wondering what count the inner splines are for the inner ends of the axle shafts - the portion that engages the differential. Are they the same for series 1 and series 2 rear axle assemblies a...
