    S1 Owner - Needing some help with basic parts!

    Hi all,

    I purchased a 1953 (per last rego) S1 last year, just starting on the project. One of many sadly. It measures 88" wheelbase, which I thought might make it a 1954?

    Can anyone help me identify the correct year to assist me with basic parts because there may have been changes after 1953? I have a S1 parts manual here but some of the online sales info looks a bit different.

    Does the "Car number" in the centre consol help to identify the manufactured year?

    I am looking to replace all the tie rods, and the brake linings and suspension parts. I guess I need to understand if there were differences in these in the later S1 cars, and can anyone point me to the best vendor to buy them? I have reached out to some to no-avail.

    Glad I found this place.


    Cheers!
    Ryan

    88" was late Series I, '57/'58 (someone will confirm).

    The chassis number is on a plate on the bulkhead and also stamped on the chassis, usually on one of the rear spring hangers or sometimes on one of the front dumb irons depending who assembled it.

    Insert chassis number and it should give you an idea of the year it was made.

    Brake shoes can be re-lined, most older brake specialists can arrange this. I can't remember if Series I track rod ends were a different thread to Series II, maybe the very early ones were.
    There are a few specialists in the UK, shipping adds to the cost but at least they can supply the parts.

    If it is an 88, and the front guards look as if they are 88 guards, the vehicle would have been made in late 1956, 57 or early 58 and be a 57 or 58MY.

    As mentioned put the chassis number into Calvin to see what you actually have.
