Title: just broken 3 of my c5's for spares
Post by: Karl on 16, June, 2012 - 20:44:24
I've stripped down three of my spares/repairs c5 for some parts today. One of the chassis was split , the other two are reserved for now. If they dont sell I'll update this topic.

All 3 of the c5's were incomplete to start with which is why they've been broken down for bits. This means that not everything is available. There were no lights , pod or control box on any of them but all the big bits are there if needed , This includes wheels , handlebars & foam cover , brake levers ,steering rod , boot (no lock/key) ,pedals  etc.

If you need something drop me an email and I'll see if it is my growing box of spare parts  ;)

There are six bodyshells up for grabs if anyone wants to start building a project for next years AER at Santa Pod  8)

Hi mate. New on here looking for a project. How much is a body shell? I guess that will be one of the best places to start building my own ha.

Hi Carl - I've got your email, I'm not ignoring you I'm just on a run of 12hr night shifts  :( , I'll take a look through my stash at the weekend and get back to you. I'm guessing you need the complete brake lever (with handbrake) ?

That's great, thanks and it would be the complete unit! Thanks again,

There's a set of wing mirrors on eBay right now - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sinclair-C5-Wing-Mirrors-/230831221086?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Other_Vehicle_Parts_Accessories_ET&hash=item35be9ce95e - I'd get them soon as if you really want them as they will sell quickly.

Sorry, I have no wing mirrors at the moment.

Was it a motor and gearbox you are looking for ?

I'll take a look through my stash of spares at the weekend and get back to you. Bit tied up with 12hr shifts at the moment and just too shattered to contemplate rummaging through everything  :)

I still have 6 bodyshells in my garden getting in the way  :)

..if anyone wants one for a project let me know, otherwise I might have to consider a trip to the tip  :o (perish the thought !)


@ Gyrr : for info,  you have mail regarding the c5 motor and gearbox  :)


Slowly starting to get through my back-log  ;D

Karl, Don't chuck em! I'm sure they can be 'upcycled' into something.

What does a body shell look like on it's own? I think we should come up with some innovative uses for them.
I'm currently proposing a C5 planter for our garden!

Don't throw those shells away, put them to a good use, e.g. look below.

(http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w477/XE521/Memorial_zpsb653a1c4.jpg)
C5Alive's Memorial 'Ne uanescet' (To be seen in the near future at Hyde Park).  8) 8)

Idea based on the Texas 'Cadillac Ranch'.
 
Or

Would also be a fine addition as a flower bed in the garden.

Cheers (to all that can't be with us today).

Hi Karl,

I don't suppose by chance you have a tonneau cover going spare? I know they're very rare but I thought I might as well give it a shot, if you do have then please could you e-mail me back about it: andrew@businesshelium.com

Many Thanks

Andrew

Hi, do you have a boot lock and key by any chance. I have just joined the forum in the hope that I can get one. I have lost the key for my one :-( Doh!

Do you still have the handlebar cover ? I am also missing a wheel centre.

I've stopped selling used spares for now until I take stock of what I have and what I intend to do with it all. I estimate I have enough to build five complete c5's with spares left over...or I could just break the lot and sell it all off. Difficult decision to make really.

Either way I've some other projects keeping me busy at the moment so this will probably be put on hold until the New Year.

Hi do you have a front head light lens in good condition as when i was at the brooklands cycle event i went over a bump to fast and it bounced out and chipped it a tiny bit :P.  Also do you have a rear light lens in good condition as our one has got hot and has made a lump in it. :(

If so how much will it cost???
Title: Re: just broken 3 of my c5's for spares
Post by: Karl on 15, November, 2012 - 19:40:34
front light units are quite rare (and sadly therefore expensive)

rear lights would seem to be more plentiful as they appear on Ebay more frequently

unfortunately I dont have any spare lights up for grabs at the moment

Hi Karl,

if you brake up an axle for Dave then I would like to buy the pedal chain spocket.  :)

Since I'm not entirely sure which bits Dave wants I could always post the axle to Dave and then , once he has removed what he needs, he could post on the remains to you ?

Hi Karl

Do you have a pod for sale as I think there is something wrong with mine and so dose my dad. If you do it would be a great help. This is what is happening, I have the power on then the lights start going out like the always have done since I got the C5 in August and we never managed to sort that out. On the pod all the lights come on on the right hand side apart from the very right hand side yellow light. On the left hand side only one light comes on which is the yellow one. Some times you can get a good run out of it and other times you only get 2-3 minutes of runing before all the lights on the right hand side go out and starts beeping at me. Then for some reason if you fiddle with the conections on the back of the pod all the lights come back on on the right hand side the you can run for another few before you have to do it again. The motor is not over heating it is stone cold, nothing over heats. All very complicated and need help.

Check the red wire going into the back of the pod is all intact and then check & clean the connections on the pod, there is a chance this will sort your problems.

Yey

Finally the pod lights don't go down only the 1 green ones go out. We bought the connectors for the battery from the C5alive Shop to replace the Key switch now I think it works fine  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi Karl, I've been told that you're my first port of call lol! I'm looking for several of the usual hard to find parts, but the one I'm stuck on right now is the plastic moulding/cover that goes around the front wheel. Any idea if you have one? Could also do with new rear wheel trims, but not as important as I have them already, just in poor condition :)
