Title: My first C5!
Post by: ScubaChris on 23, March, 2011 - 17:52:13
Well talk about being thrown in at the deep end... I collected a C5 yesterday and I've just got around to assessing it properly. There's no mistaking the fact that this one has had a hard life, it looks like it's been dumped outside for a few years judging by the quantity of dead spiders and snails I've just shovelled out of it  ;)
It's going to be a pretty big job but I'm sure with the help of a few kind souls sharing their knowledge (and parts!) on this site I'll have it back on the road this summer. These things are getting rarer so I feel pretty good about bringing one back to life.

Initial assessment:
* Tyres and inners (original Sinclair) have completely had it and need replacing. - New set ordered.
* Front wheel cover is missing.
* All wheel bearings are knackered.
* Main frame, forks and 'A' frame are very rusty but it looks superficial rather than structural. They're earmarked for sand blasting and powder coating.
* Boot lid has a few holes drilled through it, it's missing the inner container and one of the retaining 'U' shaped plates from one of the hinges.
* Fittings that attach the top of the 'A' frame to the body are missing.
* The electrics seem to have been butchered at some point and I'd like a bit of advice (see pics below). There is only one battery clamp tagged onto the end of what I assume is the negative wire. The wire I suspect should go to the positive clamp actually goes to a toggle switch fitted to the side of the body and then a thinner gauge wire runs back from this switch to the control box. Weird  :-\

I'm nowhere close to sending any power round the circuits yet so I have no idea as to the condition of the control box or pod. I suspect they will all be tested on my workbench when they've been removed from the vehicle. Need to have a look inside the control box first to make sure the circuit hasn't been fried.

Well, thanks for reading. Any suggestions will be gratefully received and if anyone can suggest where I might get any of the bits I need then that would be a big help.

Oh yeah, what's the best method for filling holes in the bodywork??

Final question: What's the bunch of unconnected female spade connectors which can be seen near the chain tensioner on the 5th pic?

Looks like you have some work cut out there but it can be restored and put back on the road ....

The wires underneath (2) are used for the horn ..And the others are just spares ...

hi, congratulations on getting a c5  :) the forum and ebay are a good place for spare parts, for the bearings karl has the rear wheel cage type and i believe chas has some other types available. i got the few bits n bobs needed for my c5 off of forum members. not sure what would be best to fill body holes as i have no experience with it, maybe white sugru? as for the female spade connectors i have no idea but i have them in my c5 un connected and everything works .

even though c5 restoring is alot of hard work its also lots of fun and very rewarding  :)

@ Jonny:

I'd never heard of sugru before you mentioned it. Looks like it sets more like rubber than hard plastic but as long as it's a good colour match then I'm sure it would be fine for filling in a few holes. I might buy some to experiment with and let you all know if it's any good...

In reply to one of the queries on one of your pictures, the fittings on top of the "A" frame are for the fitting of the high-vis mast and are not meant to secure the bodyshell to the A frame. There should be two small black plastic "top hats" between the metal frame and the bodyshell that stick out through the relevant holes (near the top edge of the rear light). You should then have plastic collars that fit over the top of these to help keep the poles of the hi-vis mast in place, but these are nearly always missing as they tend to fall off  :D. If you remove the rear light, there should be two screws attaching the top of the A frame to the bodyshell.

Post by: ScubaChris on 25, March, 2011 - 07:58:57
Aha... Yes it's the little 'top hats' I'm missing. Are these difficult to come by as spares or would anyone have a couple lying around that they'd consider selling?

Update: Well I'm working on it when I can but what with work and other commitments I tend to just nip out to the garage whenever I get a spare 15 minutes. The body is mostly stripped and I'm almost at the stage when I can lift it from the chassis. The only fly in the ointment is removal of the handlebar stem. I've removed the bolt & cone but will it come out? Will it hell. I've tried wiggling it, talking to it, swearing at it... I'm now at the stage of belting it with a 5lb lump hammer. It appears the stem has rusted solid to the outer tube so I've left it to soak up a liberal amount of WD40 since last night. When I get home tonight it's out with the lump hammer and more choice language...

I use a couple of socket set extension bars as a drift when hammering out stubborn handlebar stems. Works everytime  8);

...make sure everything is disconnected first, place the c5 upside down on a black and decker workmate and off you go - gets rid of those pent up frustrations  ;D
Title: Re: My first C5!
Post by: ScubaChris on 27, March, 2011 - 21:54:45
Well that sounded like a great method so I've just been out in the garage doing exactly that. I've just been hammering away at it for about 20 minutes but to no avail. Getting a little concerned now! Just splurged another load of WD40 over it hoping it eventually soaks through. If all else fails I might try some plumbers freeze spray on the inside of the tube in the hope it might contract from the outer tube. Normally I'd apply heat to the outer tube to expand it but the outer tube is inside the frame and I can't apply heat directly to it.

On a more positive note, I took the cover off the control box and all the circuitry looked brand new so I took the plunge and connected it up to a car battery. Must be the first time in many years it's had electrons flowing through its veins and everything powered up great  ;D The headlight & tail light lit up, the pod lit up like a Christmas tree and a push of the 'go' button had the motor spinning merrily. The motor will definitely need a service because it's filthy and needed a little manual help to spin up at first but now it seems to be running quite happily!

Post by: ScubaChris on 28, March, 2011 - 20:43:41
Well... no matter how much abuse I gave that stem it just wouldn't budge. I've been belting seven shades of **** out of it for 3 days now and it wasn't happening. I was starting to become concerned that I would damage other parts if I kept hammering away at it so with no other options in sight I reluctantly had to get out my hacksaw and cut off the top off the stem to allow me to remove the body  :(

After stripping everything off the frame I finally managed to get the stem out of the steering tube by applying heat which I couldn't do in-situ. I'm so glad I didn't keep hammering away though because it was obvious I'd dented the frame so I had to get it on my bench and beat it back into shape! My options now are to find a welder who can re-join my sawn stem back together or try to get hold of a replacement one from someone.

The frames & front forks have now gone off to the powder coaters and I should have them back in a couple of days. I've also washed the wheels and fitted the new tyres and inner tubes.

Post by: ScubaChris on 30, March, 2011 - 19:17:38
I've well and truly learnt the hard way that it's far cheaper to spend more initially on a good C5 that isn't missing any major components and hasn't spent the last 15 years rotting in someone's garden than it is to buy a basket case and restore it.
Hey ho... It's all part of the learning curve!  :)
On the other hand, if I hadn't taken this project on I'm sure it would have ended up on the local tip before too long so at least it will be another one saved and put back on the road.

Enough waffle, here are the latest pics...

The frames and forks have returned from the powder coaters but the dozy bleeder didn't mask off the bearing cups so I had to spend about 2 hours scraping the coating off them.

Still, they haven't been looking this good since they were new:

Yeah, that's my logic too. I'm at the stage now where I know every little nut, bolt and fastener in the C5. Think I might be pretty attached to this one when it's finished!  ;D

Today I fitted the axle, motor mount, A frame, wheels and front brake callipers. It's starting to take shape.  :)

Got through a few housey chores this morning to keep 'her indoors' happy and then sneaked off to the garage for a couple of hours to tackle the motor. I knew it looked a bit grotty inside by looking through the vent holes but it was worse than I expected!

First I stripped down the gearbox and gave everything a good scrub in isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). It's fantastic at degreasing parts and evaporates quickly to leave no residue. The large main bearing in this picture will be replaced with a new one.

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02748.jpg)

Then I removed the motor back plate. The metal bracket that holds the positive wire in place had snapped off and allowed the motor brush on that side to drop too far into the housing. To repair it I drilled through the metal bracket and used a piece of 2.5mm copper wire to strap it back together.

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02749.jpg)

The armature was removed and I was really surprised to see it completely choked with cobwebs and dead spiders! The commutator and bearings were all in good condition but the cobwebs had to go.  ;)

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02751.jpg)

Here I used one of the cogs from the planetary gearbox to hold the carbon brushes in place. This enabled me to repair the positive cable bracket on the outside of the housing.

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02752.jpg)

Finally I used a good dollop of Sugru to make a nice sturdy cable gland. This will set as silicone rubber and stop the cable from bending too much and potentially snapping again.

Hi that is looking really good, I am at a similar stage with my 2nd C5. Trying to get all the replacement bits - thanks Chas.

I am about to look at the body and have been to Tesco's to get the green scubbing pads, etc and still got CIF from my 1st C5 so looks like a fun weekend for us both. I am also going to try some 11% Chlorine solution (water treatment companies use it to flush new pipework installs) on a small bit to see what its like!!!!

Keep going and you will be able to have a C5 smile on your face very soon.

thanks

Yeah well I've scrubbed it and scrubbed it some more until I got sick of scrubbing. It's not perfect but it'll do. After all this C5 will be to use rather than display so I'm sure it will get grubby again before too long.  ;)

Today I fitted the new stickers onto the body, plumbed in the wiring loom and then bolted the body back onto the chassis.

I had a few bugs to deal with in the pod, and I don't mean of the software variety  ;).

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02760.jpg)

I tried one of my new LED headlight bulbs as a replacement for the original one. The next 2 pictures show the difference between bulbs. Original (top) and LED (bottom).

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02757.jpg)

I didn't really think the LED one could compete on brightness so I decided to stick with the original until I can find a brighter LED replacement. Refitted the headlight lens.

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02759.jpg)

Bought 2 single speed BMX type bike chains from my local bike shop and spliced them together. Fitted the chain onto the sprockets and then tackled the chain tensioner. I'd love to see a picture of how the original tensioner pivots were supposed to fit because there just seems to be no secure way to do it! What I have is a small grey plastic tube (the pivot) and a couple of metal clips which clip over it. What I ended up doing is bonding the tube into place with my new favourite substance - Sugru  ;D. The more I use this stuff, the more confidence it gives me. I must get some other colours though...

This picture shows the pivot bonded into place and the tensioner folded out of the way to allow the sugru to set overnight.

Thanks Chas, that's really helpful  :). Now I can see why I've been having difficulty - the parts I have are completely different to that!. Either mine was botched by a previous owner or maybe they changed the design at some point during production?

Either way mine seems to be working ok now. Today I fitted the quick release battery clamps, fitted a new battery strap,  boot and brake cables. All that's left to do is to reinstall the handlebars which I can't do until next week as I'm waiting for a new steering stem which I ordered from the local bike shop.

New boot & inner courtesy of Karl - apparently a spare from the 'Rotterdam batch' of C5's  ;D.
This picture also shows the filled holes on the side of the seat back. Unfortunately it's not a great colour match but hey, it's better than having dirty great holes everywhere...

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02765.jpg)
 
Final check of the electrics - all seems to be working fine apart from a slightly dodgy connector at the back of the pod.

I did give it a little test run up and down the garden which was a bit scary without steering or brakes  :o. Initially when I hit the power button all I got was a loud noise from the drive belt... Obviously slipping. I removed the motor and put about 6 layers of gas closure tape on the bottom part of the bracket to raise the motor slightly which seemed to do the trick. One potential problem is that the drive cog on the end of the motor is a little worn. Nothing too tragic but it might possibly need replacing in the future. No idea how hard these are to source though.

Wohooo...  ;D
Apart from a little tidying here and there, she's all finished and back on the road!  :D

My new steering stem finally arrived from Raleigh to replace the one I had to saw in half. It's a bit bulkier than the original one and therefore the foam cover sits slightly higher than it would normaly.

Here's a comparison between the original stem and the new one.

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02770.jpg)

This enabled me to connect up my new brake cables and get everything adjusted right. I think I need to allow the rear brake to bed in a little (it hasn't been used for years) before I can get it adjusted properly - it's still a little sloppy.

This is what she looks like now.  :)

(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i471/ScubaChris1972/DSC02771.jpg)

The only thing left to do is tidy the wiring to the 'throttle' switch and optimise the routing of the brake cables.
I just took it out for it's maiden voyage around the local roads and it ran brilliantly. Even my 10 year old daughter jumped on my knees and came for a blast with me.  ;D

Now... having never driven a C5 before today I wondered if anyone can answer a couple of questions:

1) The turning angle of the handlebars is quite small - the tip of the grips hits the very edge of the seat and this results in a reasonable-but-not-great turning circle. Now I can adjust the bar height so it can overlap the seat and therefore turn more, but I wanted to know is this is how a 'standard' set up is supposed to be?

2) General driving around causes the rubber grommets at the top of the seat back to loosen. Is this a common problem and does anyone have any suggestions to stop this happening? 'Glue them down' is probably an obvious one but is this the best solution? I don't want to loose 'em!

Thanks,
C.

Post by: Jonny on 13, April, 2011 - 20:32:32
looking great!  ;D

in answer to your questions:

1. this is normal, the c5 doesn't have an amazing turning circle, if you need to make a sharp turn lift the front nose and spin the c5 around  :) in the c5 hot tips letter it says that the steering is limited to prevent any other part of the steering system fouling.

2.i don't have any so i don't have this problem.

my breaks at first weren't very good and made a terrible noise when the c5 came to a stop, after a couple of miles they work perfectly now  :)
Title: Re: My first C5!
Post by: Karl on 13, April, 2011 - 22:20:30
Jonny is pretty much spot on  ;)

1 ) ask Max  :P ( ...I'm sure he'll be along to explain later  ;D)
The handlebar grips should hit the leading edge of the seat, this helps to keep the turning circle wide enough to stop you tiping over - an occupational hazard with most three wheelers of this configuration. The "tadpole" arrangement as per the 3 wheeled Morgans would be more stable   :)

2) The raised blocks by the mast holes do always tend to fall off, you've done well to find one with them still in situ   8)

Sounds like I've got the steering set up correctly then. As for the rubber grommets, I might just bond them in place with a little silicone to stop them falling out.

I ordered a couple of new super-bright LED bulbs for the headlight & tail light. Each one has 25 LEDs in it and I have to say they look pretty good!

Yeah, great retro tune isn't it? It's called 'Magic Fly', by a band called Space. I think it was released in 1977 and did quite well as far as I can remember.

No problem Karl, it's the least I could do after all the help, advice and parts I've received from yourself and others on this site. It would have been a nightmare job otherwise!  ;D
