Hi guys and girls,
After having a sit up n beg witch was too much work for me i gave up the wonderfull out of my leage ideas for it and stumbled across this.
Would love to pro street it but with insurance being threw the roof for a true pro streeter and im needing to mod this car with as little monies spent as possible due to other expences at the same time.

seeing as the car is on the road and taxed it wil probly have a few spins round the garage square n wen i can afford provisional insurance me n the old man will sure to be crusing (if that happens)

But meanwhile,
105e axle is hopfully going on.(need some bits for that) due to then being a range of diffs to use.
Definate lowering, 2.5inches at the back? 2 at the front.
Lotus steels on the rear,and a similar set on the front due to it being wide 4 stud as standard unless i do some sort of cheap effectful conversion to reduce it to the small 4 stud..IDEAS?
Body will remain this colour and the few niggles that will be on it sorted in due time.
Interior striped and Ali pannled out.
small cage.
period buckets.
and a big smile.

engine wise gunna see how it is with the sidevalve,bita period tuning gear when the funds are here.

just to look like a cool old racer.

ideas/advise would be apreciated.

cheers.

Do nothing to it that you cant sort in a weekend and enjoy it for the summer. After that...make it go faster?

Lower it, Lotus steels on the back and keep the stock ones on the front. A friendly machinist can help with a disc conversion (Marina maybe and re-drill the hubs).

If you can't find Lotus steels (it took me a while a few years ago) Minilites or Revolutions.

A '60s race paint job (I love the Gulf scheme).

Find a crashed Mazda MX5...twin cam motor and (RWD) 5 or 6 speed gear box. Easy to turbo...I did Deb's with a cheap kit...it dynoed at 160bhp. She drove at 80mph for 8 hours in that hot summer a couple of years ago....100,000 miles on the clock and it never missed a beat. We have a friend with 185 reliable bhp out of his.

Easy fix to later 4 stud.
late 100e had the same bearing size as 105e(yours being a Popular , should be the same bearing size as 105e)
Get 1200 super drums (they are wider than regular 105e)bolt straight on
Finish of with a remote servo,stops damn good.
We have this on our 1600 x/flow Thames 300e
and keeps the original track at the front,which is what you want.
hardest part may be finding the 1200 super drums.

When you say late 100e Ian what years we talking? I've got a 58 Prefect waiting in the wings as the next project to do for my son. Got a 105e back axle but was hoping to retain the front legs and drums but go to the later PCD, slap a remote servo on it and hopefully she should stop good???Tis only gonna be powered by a 1300 x-flow. Are you saying that I could get away with 105e drums on the front as well? Or what is the possibility of re-drilling the 100e ones to the later PCD? Thanks mate, Lee.

Oh by the way, £200 with a boot full of spares, two extra rear doors and bonnet and with only the front lower wings needing major attention, I think wasnt bad money! LOL

Hi Lee ,you are looking for the leg with a 1" dia stub
which i believe is 1959 to 1962 so you may be out of luck.
If you go to 105e drums be sure to get the wider 1200super drums as i have said,maybe the same as the 7cwt van?, i don't know.It is possible MK1 cortina's or a Classic may have the same bearing size,to make the hunt for drums easier,yes with a servo it will stop a 1300,boosted drum brakes have been stopping trucks for years,as i am sure you know.


i would not recommend re drilling the old 100e hubs for various reasons,eg safety,narrow drums,and parts availability etc

I've run stock 100E brakes with a servo and they stop fine. They will of course suffer from fade as do all drums so you've got to be a bit wary when ragging it, I've had one or two adventures with brake fade.

I did some investigation and I believe it is possible to git Herald /Spitfirediscs to the original legs with a bit of bearing juggling and making up a caliper mount ? IE Anglia drums fit Sit Up spindles and so do Herald and Marina. Therefore it must follow that if Anglia drums fit 100E then so must the discs ?

Hi Kev, i was talking to a guy back when the supernats was at knebworth,and he had Marina/ital discs on his 100e,i remember him saying that bizarrely, the bolt pattern on 100e leg that held on the 100e backplate,actually matched up with the Marina bracketry for the caliper,which was handy ,but i remember looking at the thickness of the 100e leg in that area,and thought it a bit thin & did not seem strong enough to hold a caliper,ie in time it may fracture as the load was on just the two thin tabs ,and not spread over the four as on the drum application.
Any 100e owners out there tried Marina discs, and did it hold up with time ?

Not sure what the guy said about compatible master cylinder know though,if he used the original 100e bore size or not.

I have not experienced fade on the 300e with the wider drum/shoes,although what i did not say is the 300e axle is MK3 Zodiac with big wide drums also,through a pressure regulator though,and most of your braking is done by the front anyway.But this set up would be no good for anything bigger than a stock xflow ,maybe even a 1600 OHC may give it trouble with the extra weight of the block.
Maybe i need to drive it a bit harder Kev LOL

I could stop the crossply clad wheels on my 1300GT 100E dead at 60 mph...same couldn't be said for the car !
Re m/c normally a 5/8ths for all drum and 3/4 on a disc drum. Sticking with 5/8 will give more line pressure but longer ( sometimes worrying ! LOL ) pedal travel.

I wasnt over concerned about using drum brakes all round, I'm cool with that. All I was hoping was to get the pcd on the front to match the 105e rear axle I've got. It would just make things a damn sight easier with regard to wheel fiment. I've got a gorgeous set of polished Mexico style 4 spokes (the exact name escapes me, lol) that would look nice on the 100e. What about some kind of spacer/ pcd converter to the later pattern, is there one availiable or could I have one made? that would solve a lot of my issues. I really dont wanna start changing legs n stuff and push the front track out and as it will be an 'entry model' for my boy into the world of rodding I wanted to keep costs down a little but not at the negligence of safety!

Cheers lads, Lee

I would give the adapter idea a miss Lee,you will end up with the track too wide for those alloys ,(which sound like RS alloys,like on Capri lasers)try and get some later 100e legs that will take the 105e drums.
It may be worth checking the stub Dia on what you have,someone may have changed them,you need 1",the earlier ones are slightly undersize.

That sounds like a damned fine idea Ian. I may just check the stubs out this weekend, If they aint the right size it'll give me plenty of time to find some. What about 107e legs, how do they fair up?

Cheers, Lee
