    Mystery VIN Number

    That “9” is too squiggly to be a nine, looking at it close up I’d say it’s an 8 that hasn’t been fully stamped. So I’d say it’s definitely an early R1128. Let’s see the diamond plate.

    Questions about F4//R5TS//Suzuki...

    I actually bought a pair from a wrecker but found with the booster on the front brakes I didn’t really need it and shelved the project at that point. Still got the calipers

    Questions about F4//R5TS//Suzuki...

    Do you know that Subaru cars from the late 1970s/ early 1980s also had disc brakes with the handbrake being on the front disks, and a similar disc size to Renault 4s, 12s etc. Might be worth investigating that if you are interested.

    F4 Insurance

    Hold on, was the car originally imported to go on the 4L Trophy, or are you intending to take it on the 4L Trophy yourself? If the latter I’m kind of not surprised, insurance companies are wary of that stuff and reckon you can afford it. I imagine it’s different in France because going in the...

    Renault Goelette SOLD

    You should try selling to Goodwood Revival types, it's potentially quite historic. Or a Christmas present for wives to buy for their husband with a D type...

    Stopping on a sixpence

    Addendum- Looking back at this, I fitted a dual circuit (3 output) master cylinder, to turn my early single circuit into a dual circuit car, but because early cars needed an outlet to fit a brake light switch which the later cars don't have, fitting that switch used up the extra outlet hole...

    Stopping on a sixpence

    First of all, I believe you have dual circuit brakes. Three outlets means one to the rear brakes and two to the front brakes. The two outlet cylinders (one to the front, one to the rear) are for much earlier single circuit cars. Some two circuit cars have four outlets, two to front, two to...

    Lost Renault4 Van key!

    A locksmith ought to be able to cut a new key if he can fiddle with an example of the lock. Are all the doors and ignition the same key?

    Billancourt variations

    Sorry, I'm on a roll here. Just found the same site has the following page that goes through all the terminology (for 750/4cv/dauphine variations only) but you get the gist. http://www.4cv-renault.com/technique/ac/ac.html Going back to the other table, I think they have conflated the french...

    Billancourt variations

    Ah ha! (well, sort of...) I found this site and in some ways it tallies up very well with the above and in others it just misses. http://www.4cv-renault.com/technique/tabmot/tabmot.html The table there lists all the Billancourt variations but lists Renault 6 without an 800 dash number, but it...

    Billancourt variations

    Thanksvery much for the cam data Angel. I think I saw some valve lift data on a French site years ago, I might go looking and see what I can dig up.

    Gearbox 354 bearings

    If someone can define the difference in dimensions and features and show the mating parts I would be prepared to consider getting a batch modified (in slow time).

    Head lining

    If you don't need an entire one (e.g. if you only replace a section between two seams) you can buy the original material from ENPI in France and get a motor trimmer to sew in a replacement section. Note they only transact their business in French. See below for a link for the 1960's vinyl with...

    Head lining

    I have bought a replacement fabric liner from der franzose which looks fantastic- it uses the correct diamond pattern vinyl cloth which is available by the metre from one or two vendors in France- but I haven’t stumped up the courage yet to fit it. Got to combine job with bashing out some roof...

    Billancourt variations

    Hey Angel, re the 800-01 and the 800-05, did the camshaft change between them?

    Rodeo Recommissioning

    Yikes! Definitely not for wheel bearings.... Are there any part numbers engraved on them? Would be interesting to see what they were.

    Fuel vent pipe / vented fuel cap

    Meant to say not an issue with cap not venting, cap unlikely to seal and not a way it can happen. Would be caused more if tank vent blocked so worth checking the vent line is clear between tank and pipe. But there is still a way it can happen as outlined above.
