#1 Parts left over

Post by silverice » Sun Feb 19, 2023 7:26 pm

I know it's a long shot but after rebuilding the front end of my S1 2+2, I've got a few parts left over in the photo below which includes a rule to give an idea of size. I've gone through all the hundreds of photos I took and the parts catalogue but am stuck so can anyone identify where they're from please ? Everything was removed and rebuilt under the bonnet as well as the dash board and hand brake mechanism in case this helps. There's a possibility they may not be all from the same area which makes it a bit more of a challenge. Any ideas would be very welcome.

Graham, you’ve been around for a long time before your first post. Not that there’s anything wrong with that :wink:

The thick washer looks like one for the bumpers. Others are a lock washer you may have replaced with a new one.

Best I can suggest. Good luck

Is the fat washer one of those fitted around the wishbone bushes?

The circlips looks like they’re off the brake servo (bellows type) fulcrum spindle that actuated the bellows
The anti shake washer is used all over
The big washer looks like it’s off the suspension

Thanks so much for these ideas, I'll investigate them all to see if I get a match.
Geoff - you are very observant !...the reason why this is my first post is because I've found everything I needed on this fantastic forum. Every query I've had, and I've had a lot I can tell you !, was answered with a quick search. Maybe now I'm at the stage where I can help others which would be nice.
mgcjag - very good :lol:
Anyway, all your ideas are much appreciated, thank you.

Looks too small. It might be an ARB drop arm washer though.
