Your hub spacers look good Nick - who made those?

Pete

I got them online to fit the new wheel PCD/centre bore but then got them machined to fit the hub. They place the new wheels exactly where the old ones were ET wise.

If you were talking about front brakes on an Eclat/Elite then I'd suggest 4 pot Subaru calipers on Citroen Xantia V6 (283x 26mm) discs like I've done - https://tlf.s3.amazonaws.com/tlf/forums/aws_uploads/monthly_2020_08/118542595_1100283123701883_8330303720641858860_n.jpg.21126a5d6a3cb99be148b020cd...

Excellent work

It was more than excellent. The clamshell front end was stunningly amazing.

I thought about chopping the front end about but wasn't sure how much the shell adds strength to the chassis once bolted together tbh? Mine's pretty much as Lotus intended.

Absolutely nothing!! :D https://db3pap004files.storage.live.com/y4m6YxhLrauXzH1W8bsEpiC68TLSklsYzaH5Vkzcobo2P4siL6WXp6NmeILJq9Kgt2BCHu0TmHnOjAP9iNSNjSx2KQT7ErSU5mGKY_QOIy80y1luYgnizGFytmdo6jIYTA_x1gCMEYQ_WdKZevVo2Uh6Oxr3IU3f7W5Ukfx4yIViET3YuebDgh1Y1NIk1ZlH2k2?width=1024&height=768&cropmode=none As ...

Almost as bad as fitting a V8!!

What was the engine in originally?

Pete

And what's wrong with a V8?
