Re: Lotus Garage

Any mechanic outfit will be able to do it. Look for mobile fitters.

You should be able to give it a go yourself.

Note Neils opening line is "I'm a useless home mechanic" , so that may be the reason why he had issues.

Is that your original torque converter or did you get a reconditioned one?
Pete
I'm not sure as it says modified TC on the invoice. Holes appear to align at first check.

Has the gear lever housing been inspected for debris?

Re: Rear seat belt brackets - SS

Hi Rhyd,

This are the external wheel bay mounts for the 'upper' rear belt reel only. Left and right sides.

The rear belt lower brackets you need to go to SJs or LBs for.
