Masterbrakecylinder from 120 in s110?
MotorsportFinland replied to Ragge's topic in RWD Skodas and historics
Hi, there are three types: 22mm for cars with front drums and no booster 19mm for cars with front discs and booster, A-series ->1983 (big line connector "nut-type-of-thingy") 19mm for cars with front discs and booster, A-series 1983-> and M-series Two of these are available for you locally from mainland http://warreteam.com/varaosat2/index.htm You could also ask Riku if he is able to get the first model for you if necessary. Thre are some parts that are hard to get but I recommend asking. BR, Timo -
Here in Finland nearly all Favorits and Formans have been deleted.. Occasionally one or two appears for sale. Two common places to seek from Finland are these marketplaces: https://www.nettiauto.com/skoda/forman/9424171 https://www.tori.fi/satakunta/Skoda_forman_42967081.htm?ca=18&w=3

Replacing fuse 15 did the job.. Thanks everyone! -
For what purpose these intake manifolds are different?
MotorsportFinland replied to Aram's topic in RWD Skodas and historics
The manifold with insert ring is most likely designed to help vacuum operated secondary butterfly work better. Skodas have Jikov EDSR and SEDR type carburettors, and both of them use vacuum operation, however in Wartburgs Jikovs are SEDR -type but mechanically operated secondary butterfly. Wartburg manifolds are simply oval shaped. There are also Skoda manifolds with steel plates, hole shaped with kind of a star for secondary choke (similar shape that is used in pastry bags/piping bags for baking purposes). I think that perforated hole is designed to work similarly in conjunction with vacuum operation? -
What kind of problems has there been with TYM? I think Kalmar is most likely the manufacturer of transmission parts for TYM, I have bought one set of dog box gears some time ago and the quality of parts is super good.

TYM Motorsport, Kalmar Motorsport and of course speedpro.cz are the companies you should be checking at first. If you are building just a sportster not a competition car, things are more easier..

1972 Skoda S100 key contact problems
MotorsportFinland replied to S100_72's topic in RWD Skodas and historics
NO NO NO!!!! Never ever put WD or CRC or any other brand light penetrating oil or similar fluid in to a lock barrel, you will flush all dirt inside the lock deeper and eventually jam the parts solid! If one wants to lubricate a lock barrel, please use good quality gun oil and apply it 1 drop on to the key and wipe it off with a clean cloth once key is inserted in lock barrel once or twice. This could be repeated no more than once a year. If the lock is already jamming while in use, there is a good chance one might have to dismantle it and clean all the parts. -
Skoda 120 4-speed gearbox rebuild
MotorsportFinland replied to AppleFarmer's topic in RWD Skodas and historics
Jos perävälityksen hammaskosketus on ollut kohdallaan tähän asti, niin ei sitä tarvinne korjailla kun et ole tehnyt mitään muutoksia jotka vaikuttaisivat siihen. Jos haluat tarkastaa hammaskosketuksen, niin tarvitset siniväriä jota sivelet pariin putsattuun lautaspyörän hampaaseen ja pyörität sitten sen kohdan läpi. Jos kosketuskohta on lautasen hampaan kärjessä tai tyvessä, pitää perää siirtää ja jos kosketus on etu- tai takaosassa, niin vastaavasti akselia. Siniväriä saa esim. paikallisesta Teollisuuspalvelusta tai vast., mutta voit hätätilassa korvata sinivärin vaikkapa MoS rasvalla tai jollain muulla jäykällä mutta ohuella tahmalla, johon jää kosketusjälki mutta kuitenkaan ei ole niin paksua että haittaisi hampaiden liukumista toisiaan vasten. Käytännön syistä kannattaa värjätty kohta merkitä siihen vetarin kolon luo koska joudut laittamaan kotelon kiinni kun pyörität vaihteistoa. For the majority of english speaking readers, I am deeply sorry for writing this in finnish.. -
Identifying skoda 130 gearbox.
MotorsportFinland replied to Mod500's topic in RWD Skodas and historics
Hi, two basic questions: Is the gearbox IRS-type or swing axle type one? The gearbox main housing is made of two longitudinal halves. Look at the separate front (nose) part, is there an extra piece between it and gearbox housing? -
Skoda Estelle rebuilt engine's horrible clanking noise
MotorsportFinland replied to Aram's topic in Classic SKODA Projects
Lada flywheel and clutch assembly will not fit inside Skoda bellhousing without major modifications. Why not use the Lada engine as a unit? Make an adaptor plate between engine and gearbox, extend the clutch shaft and bolt the new starter on the adaptor plate. If you want to use Skoda engine and make a use of Lada starter, I suggest you to make a sandwich plate as pictured. Adapt the flywheel to accept Lada starter by moving the starter ring to the opposite side of flywheel. If the flywheel friction surface is deeply cracked (in most cases it is), you might consider to make a new flywheel out of blank steel plate. What is your original friction plate size? 180mm or 190mm? If 180mm, you could use Wartburg and if 190mm, you might use Lada 2108 friction material if those are easily available?
