Citroen Specials Club - the club for all lightweight cyclecars

Hi Portuguy We meet last year on the sea front at Armação de Pêra. I fitted the Boyer Bransden coil with original leads. I bolted it with an aluminium heat sink (computer style from ebay) using a right angle bracket alongside the starter motor (using the starter mounting bolt). The heat sink is on t...

Can anybody spare a new middle piston ring? Happy to pay/grovel, wash your car etc. I'm a virgin engine re-builder and I fitted my new rings then picked up a gritty tool with my oily rubber gloves :roll: . So I thought I had better start again and clean it all. Much harder to get those rings off tha...

Thank you Sillycvs. Hamlin of Bridgewater quoted approx. £60 - £80 to lighten my flywheel (a further £80 to balance on the crank). They seem to know what they are doing. Visited Jon Davies of West Monkton nr Taunton. He has a field of Citroens being recycled. He produced a lightened 3.9kg flywheel a...

Advice appreciated. In the process of rebuilding a 2cv engine having ceased a big end on day two of becoming a proud owner of a 223. I will be fitting 9:1 pistons and barrels to a second hand bottom end along with Boyer Bransden ignition from the club. I have the thinner flywheel 9mm (6.2kg bathroom...
