I just checked on my phone and I do have a few already but they don't show the plate very well and it's a bit hidden under another thin metal sheet. The actual reinforcing plate you are looking for is bichromated as the rest around it, and from the photos it looks quite similar to the reproduced one which was for sale there: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lotus-Esprit-Titanium-Shifter-Reinforcing-Plate-/333364319821 (How is the shift rubber gaiter attached when you don't have this plate on the car?!)

stevefh started following Use of silicone hoses
-
Hi all, those of you who are using silicone hose in your induction and purge canister systems have you had any problems with your lambda sensor due to silicone contamination. I started to think about this when deciding whether to make replacements for the rubber connectors in the vacuum system ,that continually split, out of silicone .Has anyone made successful replacements? Will 2.5 mm I/d stretch to 4+ mm I/d in silicone ?

Looks great to me, looking forward to move into the the next decade and let Lotus show the world what they can do. -

Lotus just changed their brand identity

Maybe the logo will be tweaked based on reception soon, it is a very flat logo that works on screen, but we have yet to see it on cars, maybe the silver lettering will come back before the first of the next gen cars will be out and about. I know of at least one dealer in the process of rebranding but if the factory just got the new logo at the front gate... -
I heard it was going to be foodwaste derived... But I have no idea. Back on topic if the SUV is 1400KG then it must be mostly made of unobtainium, at 1500kg it would be a feather weight in the category and at 1600kg it will still be around 100kg lighter than the competition but if we assume it is EV from the off, then I would rather not say. I like the sound of Lotus Element but i'm pretty sure Honda will not play ball on this one.

Cool, Ill send you a PM to arrange to pop over then. -
Champ Car and IndyCar in the States used methanol from corn to power thier cars for years and now use ethanol derived from sugar cane but F1's plan is to use biofuel that is not derived from food crops. Whether that will need more forest clearing or not, I don't know.

505H has arrived from California
omegaman replied to omegaman's topic in Esprit 'Project & Restoration' Room
Update..... I have the car pretty much stripped down and ready for the body shop, just the passenger door left to strip. I removed and cleaned up the hinge pin on the drivers door and the bushes look fine. I seemed to have slightly damaged the thread opening in the hinge pin when I was pushing it out of the housing. Does anyone know what size bolts fit the pin? I need to buy a tap to clear it out. Thanks -
Yep, still here

@Laika I can pop around and take a look if your still in Pinner? -
Lovely but alas not on an S2
-
Not an S2 but you get the idea.

Yes just looked at a nice suction one from Revo Racks, but my thoughts are first time you hit a pot hole the rack comes through the window, doublely bad as I don't use the engine cover. Daren't risk it.

clutch cable keeps breaking - other alternatives
USAndretti42 replied to moriniman1's topic in Engine & Ancilliaries/Gearbox
Don.Hasi from Germany has been running a chain and chainwheel set-up on his Eclat for 20 years (see page 1 of this topic) so whatever he did works well. Why not ask him for details? -
I've seen suction padded luggage racks mounted on the rear screen but you wouldn't want to put too much weight on them.
