The Lotus Grand Tourers

Yes - a very interesting thread. I'm in the process of fitting a ZF into my Elite, but with fuel injection etc. It will be interesting to see how it runs!

D'oh!!

Must proof read more carfully!!

Pete

The advert says 1/18" NPTF. There is a subtle difference between NPT and NPTF in the thread form, but to all intents and purposes (assuming some thread sealer) they can be treated the same. To be honest I'm not sure if the casting is threaded NPT or NPTF, but that sender will fit ok. Good find by th...

Thanks Richard - have amended build-up booking to show hall 5.

Pete

Is the stand number correct? When I booked a slot for build-up day the lady on the phone told me we were on 3-090

You can't get the staff!

I've never seen an anti-roll bar bush split anywhere but in the vertical plane - usually the bit that abuts the chassis (and is usually flat)

Are you sure the ring with the protrusion that cancels the indicators as you turn the wheel is correctly position and not sliding/jammed?

That's what I was going to say!

Pete

Apparently there's a glitch in the system that stops you getting past the Add Card Details page - The lady who helped me - Dani - was really helpful - I suggest you phone her - the contact number is on the Voyage Control page.

Pete

Right - with guidance over the phone I've been able to book in! 12.00 on Thursday. Phew - I'm exhausted

Pete

The booking system is utterly crap - as unintuitive as I've ever seen. I cannot get past the "add card details" screen, even though I have done this. Got any tips for this process??

Pete

Thanks Richard. I've contacted the tow company to see if they're OK supplying me with their reg number - Ill try booking using the link you've posted.

Pete

Yep - excellent progress! Just in time for the summer

Pete

I hate the idea of lifting the engine & gearbox on the manifold - plus it's harder to use the load leveller .
