I have posted in the wanted section but figured here would also be warranted.

I am after a reliant scimitar se5 axle for a project, and while everybody I talk to says "great, they're common as muck and cost two pence" none of them actually has one!!

There must be a scimitar specialist somewhere in the midlands that has an se5 in, its just a case of finding it!!

this going in a manta ?

heh heh close but only half a cigar.........

right manufacturer, wrong model, try again!!

Looking at the specialists on http://www.shworth.com/scimitarweb/index.php

Gives Kettering, Northamptonshire http://www.qrgservices.co.uk/qrg_price_list.htm
(but nearly £900 for a recon axle )

and Warwickshire
http://www.WillSparrow.com/

since only today had someone on the phone about fitting a volvo axle at the back , wasnt you was it ?

heh heh, no, not me!

The se5 axle is for a kadett c coupe,

here it is breaking its 3rd manta axle.......I have the job of five linking it on the 4ha axle once he's got one to put in it!!

got an se6 one but tis too wide

ps it is 340 hp so that does explain the manta axle casualty rate

I know youve probs seen these but are they any good;

One said 4ha so it got me wondring

yep both 4ha's, but the one in wrexham is definitely an se6 one.


I've messaged the chap selling the other one as its only just up the road, here's hoping its an se5 one!!

maybe try asking on Scimitar forum?

Just a thought

will try if no luck with the local one on ebay.

not sure what the scimitar crowd will think of me ripping one out to 5 link an opel kadett

there used to be a scimitar restoration company at barns heath farm in appleby magna near measham last time i was up there a couple of months ago the company had gone but there was a couple of old scimitars still round the back it may be worth a ride iver to have a look
