  1. 3 self tappers at the back by choke cable/window switch trim. Nothing at the radio end as far as I know though I have air vents below the radio on mine. Pete
  2. I'm using the Protechs. Had a couple fail and fixed under warranty but I'm happy with them in the main.
  3. Always bought my springs from SJ. Never had a problem as long as the suspension is tightened up with the car correctly weighted as per the manual. Pete
  4. @Veloce_Rosso Azzurro Gabbiano - great colour!!
  5. Did they use the hedge trimmer to remove the steering wheel?
  6. Best I can do with the engine in the way but hopefully you can trace the braided line from the carb into the cut off switch then Flexi hose to the filter which goes into the metal pipe that follows the outline of the engine bay and does a 90 degree turn downwards to the fuel pump.
  7. HI Derek, I have limited pics of the setup but here's one of the fuel pump which is located behind the passenger seat. The lower pipe is the link between the tanks, the longer part of which hangs in the cradle before attaching to the right hand tank. I have my engine cover off at the moment so if you still need I can get some pics of the pipework in and around the engine bay. Pete
  8. Hi all, In the process of replacing the gearbox mount bushes I've discovered something I want to check is as it should be. It makes sense but don't know it it's correct or a bodge The bottom bush has had a section cut away and the bracket is also chamfered at this point which is clearly done in order to avoid fouling the top bolt on the bracket that supports the brake callipers. Can anyone confirm this is as it should be before I get the angle grinder out as the new bush does not have the cutaway. Thanks, Pete
  9. @CarBuff makes perfect sense though I've not noticed any ill effects personally. Maybe it's not dusty enough here in the UK and we tend to drive around with the windows closed because it so cold and wet all the time 🤣 Pete
  10. Make sure you shim it to work when the door is closed. On mine the glass doesn't follow the channel when the door is open but the frame is at the correct angle when the door is closed. Silicon spray on the felt makes for an easier glide on mine and silicone grease on the runners.
  11. I had this very problem when I installed new adjustable Protechs on my S2 years ago. Took it to a Lotus 'Specialist' who it turns out didn't have a clue about older cars and it came back with the rear wheels like this / \ . Turns out the springs needed cranking up way more than they had been which pulled the bottom of the wheels inwards and created the correct camber. Nothing more complicated than that. Worth a try before you start messing about with shims etc. Pete
  12. Thursday afternoon 19th October Sounded brilliant but looked tiny in comparison to the rest of the traffic. Lovely so see one in the wild!
