Try searching for scalextric restorations, I haven't visited the site for a few years now, but they may have suitable motor parts? I imagine too they would be suitable as the motor surely isn't used as constantly as a scalextric motor would be. Edit: just found a link http://www.scalextric-car.co.uk/Parts/Parts_Motors.htm (Prices have increased a fair bit since I last repaired a car lol) Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

Hi Alan,
The scalextric motor is a path we pursued some time ago, unfortunately wrong voltage and the RPM in them is immense. The actual physical shape and size of the motors is not uncommon but the RPM and MA draw is. As I say you also need to know the rotation of the motor as they are opposite

The author of this appears to have used one of these to replace motor 20005 - https://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...=1584553311713

The OP also clearly states that they got lucky with the rotation .....

The R8 Tomcat coupe has gone so the 75 is currently my daily driver. Put it in for an MOT today a little early and it passed with 3 advises. Happy with that...

North Wales.
Took my 75 up to Jules today. Stood and watched. Plenum drained, mod debris catcher fitted, bonnet cables sorted, pcv checked, error code sorted (recent light switch replacement wasn't configured properly), boot dry (lights had been sealed previously), battery tested and replaced and hideous led running lights and relay detached and removed, disabled stickers removed from rear and front screens.
Will need to go again for 60k gearbox oilchange, new driver side rear door lock ,cooling fan (inoperative at present) and inline thermostat mod. May go for 160 too if cornetto virus doesn't skint me! Very tiring watching all this going on! Now confident that my recently acquired carriage is not likely to let me down with a drowned ECU. Nice to put a face to a name. Than you Jules. |

I went for a drive in the ZT to get some toilet roll, then drove some more, and more, and even more....... and came home empty handed.

I think it makes a big difference to the rear how it looks. I have to get one for the Connie silver one.

The Smiley plate is an integral feature of our wonderful cars. It's a must have as far as I'm concerned, one of the features that sets our cars apart from the run of the mill offerings.
