The Lotus Grand Tourers

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!

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.

Dismantled the carbs ready for refurbishment.

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...
