Hi Richard,
If you want them I have dimensions etc to make the Subframe mountings.

Bill Lewis makes subframe boxes to original design. Along with a lot of other stuff like sills, inner sills etc

Tim

While we're on the subject, does anyone have a contact for Bill? I believe he's in Market Drayton, just round the corner from me.

His e-mail is

b.lewis.lewis@btinternet.com

does Bill have a telephone for those of us still in the dark ages?Brian, i would like to have the box dimensions if poss.in case i need to replace them as i do have a fabricator friend.i cant remember where my last ones came from.

Thanks for that. There another saloon currently on eBay in the UK if anyone's interested: http://bit.ly/ay0b3O

Found a number for Bill on the Flavia Consortium website*

* Number removed from this post even though it's already published elsewhere on the internet

Not a good idea to start brandishing peoples telephone numbers about without permission?

This is the sister Fulvia to the one Richard has just bought although ihis is in much better condition, Gordon Cripps sold this one sometime ago and it's in pretty poor condition, be a shame if someone doesn't save it, as Gordon bought it new, and collected it himself from Chivasso; can't be too many about with that sort of history.

i have found most info in the books except the actual mounting box dimensions are they 100mm cubes minus the bottom?help appreciated.richard

does anyone know the purpose of the outer sill extension depicted? and the reason for the 32/ 38 mm differing measurements on top +bottom horizontal planes.also why are these components neccessary only when used with non o/e sills?my fabrication freind is confused by the drawing so info very welcome.best regards richard.[those subrame mounting box dimensions seem difficult to find also]

Richard I've sent you a PM.

Brian

mounting boxes +strengthening components made today so if they fit i will post the dimensions for future reference

beautiful boxes +outer sill extensions now delivered by my fabricator friend.but i cannot see where to fit the outer sill extensions.assistance with this mystery welcome as fitting is scheduled to start on monday.best regards richard

to answer my own question and to share todays experience with anyone interested i can confirm 100mm cubes minus the underside are suitable[skirt to be trimmed] whilst the 'sill extensions' in Brians diagrams fit vertically above the boxes.i am glad i had these made in advance of the cars visit to the welding bay along with sills/inner membrane.out of interest i will weigh the rust/dried mud removed from the existing ones-a few kilos now in a carrier bag!

Richard,
That's great news and sounds like everything is going well, did you manage to get any photos as I'd really be interested in them and see where the sill extensions fit.
What state were the actual boxes in?

what state were the boxes in?well they were in a state!ripe for restoration with the caged nuts in good condition.on the plus side i am grateful for the wax injection which has saved the inner sills largely along with alot of other areas.i am very pleased with everything so far.best regards richard

Here are photos of Richards Fulvia Series 2 Berlina/Sedan as he is unable to post photos at present, any captions are mine.
