They won't be able to help Peter, All Lancia Volumex Coupes, HPEs and Trevi Volumexes left the factory with power steering. Also, the shape of the inner wing precludes running a belt from the crank pulley direct to the supercharger, it has to follow an L shaped path from the crank pulley forward to the tensioner, up and over the supercharger drive cog, down to the power steering pump drive cog and back to the crank pulley.Quote:

Guy
that's correct all Beta VX and Trevi VX have power steering!
Fiat Argenta Volumex also.
but Fiat 124 Volumex and 131 Volumex not!
i think i take the measurement a go to an supplier!
Enzo :rolleyes:
Sounds like an excellent plan Enzo - when you find one that fits remember to buy a spare (or two!) It might be worth checking how the 124 and 131 VXs managed to keep the belts from flying off, there's no end fences on the crank or supercharger pulley but there is one on the power steering pump. Incidentally, if you have a spare power steering pulley you can machine the centre out so that it slips over the crankshaft pulley, tack it in place and you've instantly geared the supercharger up by 10- 15% and more power!

Thanks Peter,
the first parts are purchased!
and the glass fibre parts come this week from italy!
Enzo
here is lying a half 037!
Love to see proper P7 tread pattern.:cool:
Regarding Vx belt and run out, I used a tensioner wheel with offset centre and importantly had edges on to keep belt in line and on both pulleys.... I think.. it may have been Sierra Cosworth Cam belt tensioner.

Edit -found a picture
Hi,
All the best with this project. Looks very promising.
Cheers
Thank's Thomas,
first parts testet to fit! and i am surprised about the accuracy of fit
but it will be a long way. :)
Anxious to know how difficult it will actually be to build, since this is a kitcar on a whole different level.
The 037 is still my (never to come true) dream car.
now i have mounted at the bonnet the air inlet ducts, rear spoiler and license plate light, and all fits very well! :)
Keep it coming, Enzo.
I'm sure the car will look great in the end.
i have completed the front and some lights are arrived! :)
i'll be back
with the first day at the body work! :)
if someone are interested i post the progress here! :confused:
some more pictures!
Good to see the build develop Enzo..... It's the only car I'd consider swapping over to :-) Is it progressing full time now?
More please Enzo! Keep us up to date, love these threads!
Guy
Enzo,
'Way to get rid of rust!
yes Chris the best way is change all in glassfibre :oQuote:

Superb, keep the updates coming, always loved the 037.
Vince.
OK Vince, here some progress ;)
and now i know why the chisel has a guardian who is but over 10 years in the workbench
Ouch! on the hand with the hammer even 3 times! :p
Lancia 037 (SWB) short wheel base
and wood floor like a Morgan +8 :)
Particularly like the wheels and the wooden suspension arrangement, makes for easy parking I guess.....
Peter
I was a little concerned about the wheel diameter and available tyre choice but seen as it levitates, I don't think thats really an issue. Also, seen as the wheels don't actually contact the road surface, I wonder what the choice of powerplant maybe? Perhaps a phase shifting Turbo Encabulator?? Come on Enzo, enquiring minds need to know.....:cool:
the powerplant will be the same like Fred Flintstone! :o
barn find!
an original Montecarlo roll cage also rusty like the shell and all goes to sandblasting on monday!
Really interesting thread Enzo. Keep the photos coming.
some goodies are arrived from italy
the hood pins and the door, side and rear window!
thanks to Umberto from Cestra Racing Motorsport.
and some goodies from GB
the rod ends to build the rear axle
also thanks to McGill Motorsports
now the 037 shell is back from sandblasting,
and we can start the welding orgies!
Nice work Enzo.
I thought you might be interested in a few photos of my 037 project.
Cheers

Hope you guys don't mind if i post some updates here now and then about the build of my 037 recreation?
I almost have all the Montecarlo parts i need for my build, just waiting for the X 1/9 lock barrel to try in the Monte door handle.
Also ordered, and made a downpayment, for a front sub frame and front suspension parts from Mick Covill at Rallylegendreplica's.
please do!
