    Early S1 Engine

    Hi, is anyone out there doing a restoration on an early S1 and looking for an engine? I have #00517 sitting here as a back-up for my car, but I don't think I will ever need it. I don't know any of the history on it, but if there is any interest, I will pull the head to see what is in there...

    series 1 clutch/flywheel

    The series 1 engine I have came to me without a flywheel. Looking at the prices for clutch components, it seems to me that my best option is to look for a flywheel from a late series 3 or 4 and avoid the high clutch costs. Considering that the master cylinder is shot and the slave needs...
