I think I read that a syphon situation is possible, not just the static pressure from the tank.

Looks very nice, wheel on the 'proper' side too!. Got quite a bargain there I'd say. Be interested in the diff details too, 15" wheels?

Didn't someone on this forum buy it?

I had to do a double take, but it is taken outside his house, his workshop was directly opposite, on Downshire Hill.

Jim Henson has just been honoured with a blue plaque .... pictured with his Eclat. Photo and text from Hampstead & Highgate Express newspaper 6th September 2021.

Wonder what the story is here? Classic Elan has been here for at least 3 weeks and covered in rubbish. DVLA says logbook last issued 2015 and is corrently SORN. Maybe stolen ?? https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10224484807484241&set=gm.1203379963444304

The front spoiler is also considered part of the overall cooling system, it directs air into the radiator.

Almost exactly as I've done, except the front mountings were already a feature of the Spyder chassis, as were proper triangulated lower arms, but I ended up modifying my own similar to what you have done.

Paint it?

A similar thing is leaving the handbrake on for long periods, probably more so with drum brakes.

Plenty of room.

I don't know where you run your car, but beware of ground clearance problems with speedbumps and when parking front on to a kerb. You should really go for adjustable mounting points for height adjustment, lowering/raising by adjusting just the spring tension will put the car out of the mid travel point of the shockers. I've adjustable coilovers on mine, set for the correct travel (in conjunction with correct spring poundage), and also adjustable mounting points, though I have it set to std height just because of the problems I mentioned with speedbumps etc.

Your picture shows a mounting bolt missing. How did you test the earth is ok ??, did you test it right at the body of the valve? Try temporarily connecting a wire from the body of the valve to an earth,

Or buy Mini / MG rims to suit?
