Rev 10 November 2013 Introduction This scope of this manual is to provide all the information necessary to build the Suffolk SS100 sports car. It assumes that all donor car parts are supplied by Suffolk Sportscars, fully refurbished and built into subunits ready for assembly, along with all the other parts required for completion of the car.

Build sequence A The following build sequence can be used as a guide and or check list as you build your Suffolk SS100, Some builders prefer to fully build the car and/or cut their own bonnet before disassembling for paint at a local body shop, this is fine but you may need to change some of the sequence, it is a much more cautious approach to fully build before painting and will take you a lot longer to finish your build.

Page 20: Front Suspension

SS100 Build Manual (Export Edition) Rev 10 November 2013 4.1.11 Coil over damper mounting with spacer The 5/8” ID x 3/8” spacers should be fitted inside the upper and lower bushes on the forward most units. Ensure that a 1/2”ID x 11/8” OD “mudguard” washer is fitted on the outside of each shock eye to ensure that they remain captive in the event of rubber bush failure.
Page 21

Important Note: The front suspension of some older donor cars differs from others and a number of parts are not interchangeable. Both types can be fitted to the standard Suffolk chassis and Suffolk will supply reconditioned parts, which are compatible. To identify which you have, examine the lower & upper wishbones.
Page 22

Its not unknown for the nyloc nut at the bottom to need to be shortened slightly as it’s a tight fit between the wishbone, this is best done on a lathe, Suffolk Sportscars can send thinner nuts if required.
Page 23

Basic setting of the tracking If you have either donor car wheels or the SS100 hubs and wheels you can set up the front wheel alignment approximately with the engine out as follows. Mount the two front wheels on the hubs. By screwing the track rods in or out set the wheels straight ahead by eye.
Page 24

SS100 Build Manual (Export Edition) Rev 10 November 2013 Braking system & clutch hydraulics. You will need the following parts for this operation: Foot pedals & cross shaft. • Brake master cylinder, servo unit and clevis/split pin. • 8mm ID x 12mm spacers – supplied with servo (4).

1/2” self tapping screws using the 3 holes drilled before fitting the steering rack (This pipe may have been shaped for you by Suffolk Sportscars). Do the same with the shorter right hand brake pipe (F2) using the top outlet in the four way union. Then connect the rear four way union outlet to the rear most connection on the master cylinder (F3 this may require a banjo bolt)..
Page 26

The sender float arm should be pre-shaped for you by Suffolk Sportscars, if not adjust the arm so the float is just off the bottom of the tank this should leave the gauge reading empty when it still has a little fuel left for safety.
Page 27

The installation of an in line filter between the tank and the fuel pump is a wise, added precaution although the pump does have its own filter, Suffolk Sportscars fit a filter under the bonnet before the carbs where it is easier to see and clean when full.

SS100 Build Manual (Export Edition) Rev 10 November 2013 Safety note: The engine and gearbox assembly weighs 350 kg. Ensure that any lifting equipment is adequately rated for this weight.

Page 32

SS100 Build Manual (Export Edition) Rev 10 November 2013 5.4.7 Cooling fan and switch Install the cooling fan switch into the top of the radiator using a copper or aluminum washer to seal. If not already fitted, install cooling fan to front of radiator. Insert supplied rubber bushes between fan and radiator before pushing the special zip ties through the radiator core, fit four more rubber bushes between radiator core and zip tie catch plate.
Page 33

SS100 Build Manual (Export Edition) Rev 10 November 2013 5.4.12 Fog lamp If required the rear fog lamp can be fitted at this stage as access is better without the body fitted. Fix the fog lamp to the rearmost cross member just inboard of the exhaust pipes on the offside. This can then be connected up, make sure the main loom runs along the top of the chassis to allow enough cable to reach inside each of the main rear lamps.
Page 34: Fitting Wheels

If using your own donor wheel nuts these may need shortening so they don’t catch on the inside of the wire wheels, contact Suffolk Sportscars if unsure or if you need yours exchanged for ready shortened nuts.

Page 38

Drill 6 holes to accept 3mm rivets, 3 in each U section, 2 pairs 15 mm from each end and one pair in the centre. These holes must also be deburred as above. Suffolk Sportscars usually does this for you. 7.2.5 Positioning top hinge To find the centre of the bulkhead, locate a length of flexible wire or string and use the following method.

Page 41

The brackets in turn can be bolted to the timbers. The body shell can then easily be transported on an average size trailer. Most of the original SS100’s had the interior surfaces of the bonnet painted. • Note: While the body is away for painting is a good time to fill the engine and gearbox with oil. Refer to Appendix 4 for the correct lubricants.

These are used for the tonneau and the side screens. All these studs may already be fitted by Suffolk Sportscars. 8.2.9 Aero screens Finally check the fit of the aero screens on their spindles, they should side on and off easily, if not try loosening the spindle mounts before fitted the aero screens then re-tightening the screws.
Page 47

Next by finger from behind the valance screw down the adjustable spacer nut to meet the chassis before fitting the lock washer and nut from underneath. Make sure that the lamp bar fits satisfactorily, if not talk to Suffolk Sportscars about adjusting the aluminium spacers as necessary. 8.3.3...

The choke cable can be mounted in its own plate if preferred or in the mounting “Z” bracket that can be supplied by Suffolk Sportscars for fitting and auxiliary switches or sockets. This switch panel is mounted behind the wiper strap using the same bolts and sticks out under the wiper motor. Run the cable without any sharp kinks through any hole in the bulkhead that suits the root needed to reach your chosen type of carburetors and connect it to the linkage testing that it pulls in and out without jamming.
Page 49

SS100 Build Manual (Export Edition) Rev 10 November 2013 8.3.10 Rear lamp brackets Test fit the rear lamp brackets to check the fit is level, remove the brackets and cut a rubber gasket to suit, this is best cut undersize as they will squash out when fitted. Stamp the three mount holes and a central hole for the rear lamp wiring.
Page 50

SS100 Build Manual (Export Edition) Rev 10 November 2013 8.3.18 Running board strakes Refer to figure 12 to assist in fitting your running board strakes. The looks of the running board strakes are much improved by gently curving the strakes to go with the body shape, both upwards as they go forward to match the running board curve and inwards to match the body shape, they will need curving to various degrees starting straight for the outer strake to curved to match the body line on the inner strake.

On the left side of the dashboard is space to fit the dummy fuel tank switch, this is to replicate the original SS100. Protect the dashboard with masking tape, offer up the switch and mark the top and bottom mount holes, remove the switch and drill holes to suit.

The next four wires are for an optional hazard-warning switch, there are generally two types of connections for these.

Front lamps, horns and alternator There are two types of headlamps available from Suffolk Sportscars, these are the “Type 40” and QK596. The Type 40 are smaller stainless steel items whereas the QK596 are chrome on brass and are identical to the original SS100 headlamps.

Fluid Levels Engine (8.25 Litres of Mineral 20w/50) – If you have received a newly reconditioned engine from Suffolk Sportscars, it is important to follow to procedure below: The engine will have been test run at the engine builders. They use a running in oil, which is usually drained prior to delivery due to courier regulations.
Page 100

SS100 Build Manual (Export Edition) Rev 10 November 2013 An engine oil change with new filter requires 8.25 litres of oil. Proceed by measuring as accurately as possible (using a measuring jug) the correct amount. When the oil has settled and drained back into the sump, the dipstick can be checked for accuracy taking into account the capacity of the filter.
