The Lotus Grand Tourers

I have a pair of the longer over axle pipes surplus to my needs. I'm not sure exactly which models had these longer pipes, but I can say for sure the MY89 with Grundy system DOESN'T - Hence why I don't need. They are stainless steel ( I painted with a heat resistant black paint) and the flange plate...

I'm arranging a meet with Richard Friday morning.
Thanks Stu.

Are you sure you're missing a white cable clip? There shouldn't be one where to you've circled in red if I recall. That's the pivot for the two levers.
The white clips secure the end of the black outer cable, two push in from above, two from below IIRC.

I can do Friday, no problem. TBH, it's probably slightly better for me than Saturday. Not sure I understand the start of this, as I had a Saturday slot and it seams you were looking for a Friday ticket. Doesn't matter though. I can meet you somewhere Richard W to collect mugs.drop me a text and we c...

Obvious question, but if you're in the middle of a refurb, are your doors cards fitted. Without the inner card, there's nothing to reach the plunger. If cards are on, pull the feed wire to the switch . If light goes off, switch is the issue. Remember there's a time delay in the circuit so light won'...

Manifold booked for Friday and Saturday night.

Being auctioned at the NEC show.
Should be an interesting look.

Links not working Tanz, but searching on Distributor on the SJ site comes up with a flash shield, which I think is the part being discussed here.

Mines missing also ( started to break up so I left out). Doesn't seem to affect the running of my car.

I'm happy to help.
Can flexible. All 3 days if needed.

The casing is badged FORD logo.
Sierra Cosworth definitely. May be also the wider Sierra range.

Had decided the rubber bushes were heading for the bin, but became a no brainer anyway. Bolt for the bush was M10. Chassis hole and bolt is M12.
Didn't take a lot to remove. Only the inner sleeve was steel, so pulled out easily with a long bolt and a socket to draw into.

Thanks Bash. Wasn't but is now .
I've found a good few cars just blind fishing on the MOT sites when I see plates within a few digits

Not convinced it sold. Price never seemed to move.
This cars been looking for a long term owner for at least 5 years. Was in an auction back in 2019 but didn't sell, then was trying to be sold mid last year for around the £8.5 k. I think it sold as log book shows last issue mid last year.

I've had issues with the Power steering all the while I've owned the car. Slow speed manoeuvring with engine revs below about 2000, and often there was no assistance. I found a Saginaw Steering pump on Ebay so fitted and things were no better - Actually worse. The initial fluid drained out was "blac...

For reasons I'll go into elsewhere, I've had my rack rebuilt, but the main casing was beyond help, so it was rebuilt with a different second hand casing the company had kicking around. On collection I note it has isolation bushes pressed into the mounting points. For some reason, Lotus used two top ...
