S1 Project car - part 2 - the continuation
Paul Coleman replied to Lotusfab's topic in Esprit 'Project & Restoration' Room
I spent ages taking the dials out of my car to bend the speedo needle and add spacers to the perspex and the speedo is now fine but the bloody rev counter needle is now sticking! -

Glad to see you were 'keeping the British end up' -
S2 resurrection after 25 years in storage
Paul Coleman replied to Rolls's topic in Esprit 'Project & Restoration' Room
I have those door strengthening bars on my S1 and they have to go on the outside or the glass will be too tight in the frame. I don't think the extra door seals were fitted until the S3 came out (somebody will correct me if I'm wrong no doubt)... -
It will be interesting to see if you end up regretting filling those 'ears' in when you're sat in traffic watching the temperature gauge going off the scale 🤪

I fitted a pair of the rubber cam cover gaskets and although they haven't leaked they are rotting and starting to crack -

The early cars only had 2 fans -

That's exactly what I did but I also replaced the connectors as well. I added dedicated fused live feeds for the headlights, fans and windows. There is no point in adding relays unless you beef up the live feeds. -
Take it apart and clean the points
-
Don't take a pattern for the holes for the X1/9 lights off an early car as they're way too big on my car!
-
There's a pair on eBay now for £140 or so.

I have sent you a PM

Ignition key switch
Paul Coleman replied to semi42's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC
You can remove the electrical ignition switch from the lock as it's only held in by 1 screw. SJ sell new switches if that's your problem but don't lose the adaptor which goes between the ignition barrel and the switch. -
I can't find any photos of it but it's rectangular and the two ports that fit into the master cylinder are different sizes.
-
The one I need is 74470134 so perhaps it's not the same as the Elite
-
No - I'd forgotten I put it there!

No it wasn't me George it was @Matt-watts

Brake master cilinder S1
Paul Coleman replied to cor's topic in Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Hubs/Steering/Geo
By the way, finding the reservoir is harder than finding the master cylinder! -
S2 rear speakers
Paul Coleman replied to scroogemcd's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC
No speakers in the bulkhead on the S2 I have here -
The article says the picture is from TSWLM but he's holding the wrist gun thing from Moonraker. I'll get my anorak
-
Are they cheaper than a number plate?
-
I just heard you get your cheque book out hahaha
-
I'm after a brake fluid reservoir for a series 2 Esprit but I've been told the Elite one is the same. If you have one you would sell please send me a PM.
-
Anybody got an S1 or S2 brake fluid reservoir they're willing to sell?
-
There isn't on the S2 I have here
-
Not me - I've still got more sense than money
