Title: My C5 under restoration / cleaning (photos)
Post by: peckishere on 05, February, 2011 - 19:04:47
hey everyone!

I just got my C5 home today and I have already started to restore it and clean off the various body parts

Below is the link to my Flickr album of the cleaning and restoration, I will be adding more photos in the future:

It makes it even more fun when you have to figure out what the previous owner did with the wiring. Currently trying to find out what colour cables power the rear light and what colour cables went to the light switch as mine has been removed at some point in the past  ???

thanks to everyone for the help and kind words!  ;D

I am feeling very disheartened at the moment because i have discovered that the chassis is quite rusted and the c5 will need to be stripped down to get rid of it  :(

I would like to sort it out myself but as ive seen on the forum, people recommend sandblasting it and getting it repainted and I definitely don't have the facilities to do so myself :(

what does everyone think is my best option to solve this issue  ???

Somebody has been modifying  :) , looks like an attempt to strengthen the chassis legs .

Nothing wrong with it being a bit unique.

Sandblasting etc is the top choice if you want as perfect a finish as possible but using wire brush, drill attachments etc to sand it back can all produce some good results as well. All depends on how much time effort and money you want to throw at it     ;)

Try to keep your chin up mate, remember they always look worse before they get better. You're dismantling a 25yr old vehicle thats been a bit abused so you're bound to uncover a few nasties. All part of the "bonding" process  ;D

Provided you have most of the bits and pieces, they do respond surprisingly well to a bit of restoration .

Don,t loose heart bud when you get it back up and running you will be able to look back at what you started with and be proud - I think that chassis is quite interesting and as Boo Boo says and attempt to strength it - The level of restoration on these vehicles can be done on a budget to suit - the chassis does not have to be sandblasted i have only done this once - would recommended getting it stripped from the body and have a go - sand it spray it and see how it comes up !!!! The main thing is geting on the road and having some fun - the other option is they do come up every now and again for cheaper money than having the work done so lots of options bud - keep at it !!

Thanks everyone for the advice!

I'm feeling much better now as ive managed to wire brush it with a power-drill and got most of the offensive rust off  ;D
 
after a quick look at halfords online I discovered that they had a whole plethora of rust killing coating / spraying goodies and 15 minuets later I got myself a can of this:
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_188459_langId_-1_categoryId_165594

My C5 is now sitting in the garage so it can dry out, I also oiled the chain as it was bone dry

Gave it a quick peddle up the road and its much easier to peddle now  ;D

Just waiting for my new tires and battery wiring kit to turn up tomorrow to make it allot more functional and more presentable to possibly take it out on a few of this years meetings  :D

Hi,

I am at the same stage of the restoration as you and my frame was a little rusty but a good old blast with the drill and a metal wire bit. I was quite surprised how it came up it just takes a bit of time and elbow grease.

I just can't wait to get my butt in that seat and get out on it  ;D the hard work will pay off

Thanks

Yup elbow grease was definitely the trick with the metal wire bit, got the metal all down to an even level then sprayed it with the metal preserver I got from halfords and now looks pleasing to look at  ;D

The very best rust converter by far that I've ever used, and I've been messing with older vehicles for over 40 years, is FERTAN. Get it off the internet. Some of the others frankly are rubbish, and the so-called de-rusting breaks out again surprisingly quickly. I suspect that chassis was weakened around the fork joint area and was then braced.Its a lot of extra weight to pedal around.

Hey everyone


Just uploaded a vid to flickr after getting most of the electronics up and running, ive fitted the C5 alive leisure wiring kit and a new set of wheels and inner tubes from the c5 alive shop:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/59177467@N07/5425714207/

ive noticed that its making a 'tonk' sound every so often, it feels like its coming from the front wheel but i will inspect more tomorrow  ;D

Additional:

Ive noticed that the pod doesn't work properly (all LEDs light up)  :-\

Hi Peckishere,

Your best chances lie in the meeting in Holland this year in july. I have two chassis for the auction. One never used and one used, but easily restorable.
If you not planning to go there, you might ask someone that does, to get it for you.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_za9Q6sbThGc/TVENevE61PI/AAAAAAAABYs/h1LdTajQs4s/s800/New%20frame.jpg)
The new unused one, left outside a few weeks so a little bit rusty
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_za9Q6sbThGc/TVENejxRK1I/AAAAAAAABYw/pyyTquLoxCA/s800/old%20frame.jpg)
the used frame, definitively needs work but is still solid.

Thanks for the info frankev

I think I'm ok with the chassis now I've wirebit-ed it down with a powertool and coated it with antirust coating.

My only main issue now is that the break side wheel sticks out a bit compared to the motor side

After I've sorted that out it's then onto the pod, boot and then getting a front break and wheel cover

Hey everyone, need a little help  :-\


it seems that the control box has got jammed on the motor enable position, scared the life out of me when i was driving it up the drive and i couldn't stop lol :o

Is it likely that the relay has got jammed in the on position and has anyone else here had the same problem?

Is the thumb switch getting pressed by the handlebar grip ?
Title: Re: My C5 under restoration / cleaning (photos)
Post by: radiomarty on 08, February, 2011 - 23:19:28
Hi as Boo Boo says check the switch - if not a known fault is for D1 in the control box to fail causing damage to the relay ie the contacts weld themselves together - you can carefully open the relay case and check the contacts clean them or replace the relay (standard item) also check D1 very cheap to replace - regard Radiomarty
Title: Re: My C5 under restoration / cleaning (photos)
Post by: peckishere on 09, February, 2011 - 20:32:09
it turned out to be D1 after all!, relay was fine but because the diode had burnt out it caused the board to burn in places making dodgy connections which i fixed today.


ok next question


I need a front break as for some reason it was completely removed on my C5, does anyone have a spare or is their a new alternative i can go out and buy?
Title: Re: My C5 under restoration / cleaning (photos)
Post by: peckishere on 10, February, 2011 - 18:49:03
UPDATE:

After close inspection, the chassis is a little bent causing the break side wheel to stick out further than the motor side wheel

I will be spending this weekend putting it back into position, if not then i will have to either get a new one or get it serviced, anyone still servicing the C5s at a decent price? (this would also kill multiple birds with one stone if i got it serviced :))

ello again everyone  :)


today @ work I made a new motor enable switch for the new brake lever set I am fitting to the C5, its a simple clicky red button type push to make using the existing cables and I have set it into an IC packaging holder (we have thousands of them at work waiting to be chucked away). I melted parts of the IC holder for it to sit nicely on the brake lever bracket and glue gunned it all in place and its sturdy as rock :)

Pics:

UPDATE:

I found out what was wrong with my pod, someone had bent one of the pins, dunno why  ???

bent it back into position and hey presto!.... a fully functional pod!

so I have all of my electrics working now, all brakes / levers fitted and fully functioning. The only things left are getting a better boot and a front wheel cover then it should look 100% complete  ;D (if you don't look at the chassis coz its a bit bent)

Post by: coverman on 15, February, 2011 - 10:29:12
Vehicle won't track true if the chassis is bent.You'll use extra energy to propel it , as it will be steering constantly in a straight line.

Unortunatly I can't get it back into position :'(, I need to either get a new chassis from someone in the UK or get it serviced by the nearest servicer to me (I am in the Bournemouth area)

Post by: Karl on 15, February, 2011 - 13:15:26
I'd take it out for a couple of test rides first and see if there are any adverse effects from the chassis damage. If not, simply ignore it and enjoy the ride  ;D Should there be any probems it can be sorted  :)

Ive just taken it out for a brief run around the block, did a test while in the middle of a flat road and let go of the handlebars and their was no swerving or slight steering to the left or right  ;D

also managed to get it to go quite fast using the 'pedelec' method and didn't require too much energy so all good on that front.

Therefore I am going to ignore it and I am very much enjoying the ride and the funny looks i get from people  ;D

however on the left set of LEDs on the pod, its functioning as far as a red LED lights up when I push the power button but isn't it supposed to go through yellow to green while using the pedals at the same time  ???

Hi All


Ive managed to purchase a chassis off marra from this forum. Therefore I have stripped down my c5 in preperation for the new chassis to turn up.

This photo shows just how badly bent the chassis was:

The chassis has certainly been modified, I imagine it originally bent in the usual "elbow" section on the brake side so the previous owner straightened it and tried to strengthen it at the same time.

Hey All

My new chassis from marra turned up today and I have spent most of my evening rebuilding most of my C5 with the new chassis. below are some pics:


The new Chassis:

indeed it was, forgot to mention that, many thanks marra :)

ive taken it out for a spin and its a much smoother ride than the old bent chassis!.

when pedaling i heard a clunk and the chain slipped off, after inspection i found out that the chain tensioner had moved out of position (ive been battling with it for hours tonight before taking it out for the spin, bloody y retainer has worn out  :-[, therefore i will be ordering a new one from the shop )



I am very pleased with the chassis and A frame marra  ;D!

I have taken 2 photos of the boot just to show you how rubbishy the boot that I got with the c5 is.

just a little update


I've now managed to get a boot from BooBoo, so I thought it would be worth my while getting bits and bobs that will aid my travels and experiences on my C5

First of all I now have a eye strainingly bright hi-vis jacket so people cant say 'I didnt see you' when im out and about:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/59177467@N07/5522684801/

Secondly I got myself a puncture repair kit (I know this isn't necessary due to the schwalbe tires being puncture proof but got it just in case):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/59177467@N07/5522684201/in/photostream/

And I also got myself a new buzzer for the horn system, its a soundbomb!, and soundbomb it is too!. Its rated @ 110db and its stupidly loud!:

Continued........


I also bought a second battery of the same model number ready for the crawley run as I know that one battery wont be enough for the whole 10+ mile rout

I took it out with one battery hooked up and the other in the spare holder in the C5 and I can peddle and motor around easily, ideally one day I would like them to be both hooked up to get more mileage instead of swapping out the batteries half way through a journey

Post by: Karl on 16, March, 2011 - 16:09:56
As a guide,from previous runs we've found that the Crawley run will use two basic car batteries or just the one leisure battery. We normally change over the batteries at the half-way point in Tilgate Forest.

As always, it all depends on how healthy the battery is, how well set up the c5 is and how much peddling you're prepared to do.

Hey all

I managed to buy some Grey side panels from POZE, to my surprise he was about 23 minuets drive away from me so tonight I went to go pick 'em up and have a C5 chat and tour of his collection. I was very very impressed  ;D

ok so the Side panels were unopened (opened once to take photo for ebay) and were old factory stock and therefore they weren't in the usual shop packaging but in a zipper bag: below are some pics:

All in all I am very happy with them. I am keeping all the packaging and parts from them and I will keep them in good condition so that they last for a long time




Just checked the met office and its sunny where I am tomorrow. I am going to attempt to "C5 it in" to work as a test run for the crawley meeting this weekend :)
