So what was your findings?? Would you buy one?

Yes I might be able to get some new bolts. One of the threads has been damaged so much I may have to double helicoil that one!! Ie an oversized helicoil before the correct size is inserted

No doubt lots of intake & exhaust mods with different cams & lightened valve train & rotating mass. Seems the possibilities were endless before they pulled the plug. I feel this car was the predecessor to the Sauber Mercedes C8 & that Melcher from AMG may have been involved

Here’s the full story of the C111

Turn it up!! I thought I posted about this one before, but I couldn’t find it despite several searches. Is this a C111? Notice any significant people??

I’m about to purchase a tap & die set to chase n clean all threads. I’m wondering if all bolts should be replated & not just cleaned prior to reassembly? I’m not keen on them re-corroding, seizing & snapping again in the future…

Latest pix. I have to drill out & helicoil two bolt holes since they were butchered by someone else (at least the broken bolts have been removed now).

I wonder if that W140 V12 was the one I saw not long ago at Lorbeck’s?

Wtf!

Here I am partly answering my own question 12 years later!! Stamped differently, but they appear identical. Could the differences be internal?? If so, what?

What Liquid Intelligence product did you use??

I sometimes wonder if they positioned the injectors close to the ports to cool the valves?? It looks like they spray directly onto the back of the valves

Well I’m close to returning all outsourced fabrication to my original choice, since the current mob have been sitting in their hands for the last 18 months! Not helped by me having to move everything once again, but now that job has been completed I can get back to my intended projects. Talking...

A few other options but not sure if any are NLA

Pix are only a fraction of what I took! I abandoned the idea of taking a dedicated camera in favour of a newer iPhone but it can be a pain to unlock to be ready for a quick pic. The best part about using the ph for pix is uploading them later.

FYI the fuel pump relay isn’t located in the position depicted in this pic. I’m not sure if Skyes was relocated or a slightly different version but it’s the relay at the front of the fuse box or top left in the pic. I discovered this since there’s no active 86a socket in the top rear plug.

The best part is watching them arrive, but you also get to see them leave later in the day since it’s only a one day event

Lots more to come! Slow to load from Bali!!

Huge turnout this year!
