The Lotus Grand Tourers

Definitely need more space! Still more to come too.

Lovely offer but the diagrams technically belong to Lotus, and would be under copyright (I believe). Rather than risk infringing that via the forum (in which we are guests) I suggest not to distribute here. Anywhere else is your call. On that note, I think I will try and contact Lotus and ask if we ...

Found a weird green/black wire running from either side of the engine bay. Turns out to be jumper for the Central Locking due to a broken wire in the left door. Reconnected the RH yellow ancillary cables as per book and made a new yellow from the LDHC (could not get into the taped loom without full ...

Running out of storage room for removed parts! https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212740&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&width=660 Binnacle seen better days, so got a replacement from Lotusbits. Used some Furniture Clinic Re-colouring Balm (Black) on it. Impressed by the stuff. https:...

I have a burroughs gauge (west oxfordshire) you can borrow any time. I hope to go to Castle coombe without the lotus of course. It's a bit further for you but is a nice day out.

Welcome. Looking forward to piccies so read up how to post, then show and tell

That's about in reach of me. Might visit once I have a full car. Will collect Pete on the way through too!

I've been informed AVO shock absorbers are no longer trading!

Piranha system removal. Don't know if I have done it right as cant test the electrics. Central locking not working I still but I still have the door wiring to work and to remove the alarm box and tilt sensor from the engine bay https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212708&authkey=%2...

I have them on mine and been ok albeit the lowest setting is very close to max normal height so little adjustment down.

And finally for tonight, we have the rack on the carpet. There is no way that comes out the wheel well! :lol: (Some will disagree) :wink: Note most of the anti seize coating has been removed https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212492&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&height=660 https://o...

Removed the lower UJ off the steering column as I thought there was some lash. It was absolutely shot! Have a post 86 replacement of a beefier design so may have had an earlier version (incorrect one) installed. Design fits SJ's prior and post images https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269...

Dismantled the carbs ready for refurbishment. Looking well used at the moment https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212689&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&height=660 https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212691&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&width=660 https://onedrive.live.c...

Fitted a crank position sensor in readiness for the undecided ignition system.

Found malt vinegar to be a very good cleaner of rusty parts, plus cheap at 30p a pint. Air Con condenser brackets came up lovely, but it doesn't straighten studs! https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212686&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&width=800&height=1500 The Thermostat housing was...
