Great to hear you’re on the road👍 How did you sort the weeping brake fluid issue, did you replace or get new seals? 1 Quote

Anyway, fantastic job on the Cav, I hope to see it in the coming months 👍 1 Quote

®evo03 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Was the Chevair 2/4 door saloon, ascona/cavalier shape, Was it available in coupe/hatch shape? What engine box did they run? Quote

What engine box did they run? From a bit of a search it seem they were 4 door saloon only. Some Ascona fronts but more Manta however some normal 2 slot, later ones 2 big slots If memory serves the yellow one that was for sale in the UK a couple of years ago with the big slots was a CIH. It seems that they also fitted a heavy rather gutless old 2.3 but those appear to be earlier cars https://www.sedgeclasscars.co.za/details.php?CarID=2630 10 minutes ago, Trooker said: Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

H-400 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Some pics of the rear axle: Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. The axle is not the same as an Opel axle, look at the diff cover. But the suspension like the brackets of the chocks and even the stabilisation bar is the same as a 400. At the right side you can see the bottom trailing arm as the 400 and commodore etc... Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. This pic shows also those bottom trailing arms, on a European Ascona/Cavalier there are fragile tubes used. Behind the brake drum you can see the stabilisation bar. So those cars were made from 1976, three years before the production of the Ascona-400. Lets say we know yet how Opel found out how to fit the commodore axle under the 400 😁. 3 Quote
