Sinclair C5 Restoration - Part 3 - Rebuild

Описание: In this video we clean up the C5 and inspect the chassis which has come back from the powder coater's. We put it back together, and replace the worn out mechanical parts (brakes, tyres etc) along the way.

In order to research this video I used the following, all of which I'd recommend:

Sinclair Owners Manual (contains exploded diagram and parts list):

The Unofficial Sinclair C5 Service Manual:

Service Engineer Training Notes:

NOTES on this video: the front tyre is on the wrong way around (the tread shows direction of travel). The side stripes should be folded back out of sight on the inside of the body shell to help prevent them peeling off.

I've created a step-by-step disassembly guide on my website, which you can use as a reference for your own tear down - view or print from the following webpage. This will be kept up to date with corrections as they are found:

Please leave a question or comment below, or get in touch @retroworkshop on Twitter. If you spot any errors, let me know, as we already found some errors in the way it was put together when I bought it. Thanks, Dave.

The next (and final) video on the vehicle electrics shouldn't take so long to produce: most of it is already filmed ;) [Like 'Back to the Future' parts 2 and 3, production was carried out simultaneously!]
