  1. No extra cover Pete, it's the original one that I took off the car. Not sure what amperage it is but it's thick, held in with 1/2" P clips The Earth lead I'll be using will be 170 amps, that arrived today will be fitted this week.
  2. Starting to look busier in the engine bay. Pedal box in and pedals connected to relevant cables. Engine wiring loom laid in. Next job is to make front brake lines. Main power cable fitted along with the seatbelt strengthening plate. I will also be putting in an auxilliary earth cable (battery to commom earth on the pedal box) along there as well. Steady progress. Roland
  3. SJ £260 for an early one £239 for a later one (?) plus the usual. On these he operates a exchange policy.
  4. I'm putting back my refurbished servo (sjs) as we speak. Nightmare fitting the upper nuts! Sorry can't be of more help. Just thought I'd share 😁
  5. Mine isn't wired at the moment. I'm in the process of wiring everything thing up. I do have all the required components for it though. I'll have a look when I'm down at the workshop later this week. If memory serves I think two of the rectangular holes have terminals in, but let me check. I would be interested in seeing a photo of yours wired when done. Save me having to work it out, lol.
  6. Replacement Chrysler ones are available off eBay if you're interested I'll post the details. I bought one December last year. Roland https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364757206699
  7. Hi Doris, Engine bay? If so then it looks like no11 in pic "A075M6088Z - ALTERNATOR WARNING LAMP CONTROL UNIT Used with Chrysler 60A alternator. Hints and Tips: This is the replacement for the Lucas warning lamp control unit. The Chrysler 60A alternators were used on the early models. They are identified by being large and having lots of cooling fins." If you need a new one and order it from SJS it will not look like this. You will get a modern equivilant which is square and looks like a relay (ask me how I know) I have a spare one...
  8. Came across this old piece of film the other day. Lots of interesting cars, especially 19 seconds in... https://www.facebook.com/share/v/4gJCJ5JJNQG8UwRD/ Roland
  9. Still here, still beavering away, lots to do. Engine bay is starting to come together, still things to hook up. Air dam resting in place to work out where the fixing holes need drilling, then it can be painted. When I got the car the only things that were connected were the coolant hoses and some electrics. Things like the vacuum hoses are a bit of a mystery, no idea where some of them go or how they should be routed. Still, all part of the rich tapestry of a Lotus re-build.
  10. 😂 I haven't, neither have I tried the wheel box. I'll give it a go but I don't hold out much hope I think it might be too far gone. The other issue is the splined top jut spins on its own doesn't seem to be attached to the spindle any more Roland
  11. Hello, I'm in need of a fresh, rear, wiper wheel box, the one I took off has seized. The number on the back plate is 72911B the height from the top of the base plate to top of the spindle is 75mm and it has a 32 tooth metal gear. Now here's the thing. I can find plenty that are 64mm with the correct gear but none that are 75mm. I have tried the front wiper wheel box and it is too short. Does anybody have a spare that matches the 75mm height. not too fussed about condition, as long as it works. Thanks Roland
  12. I had a problem with the Bundy tube that goes over the "spring" in the rear wiper assembly. I came to the conclusion that there must be an easier and more "flexible" solution to the Bundy tube. I think I have found it 10mm, stainless steel, flexible gas pipe! It fits easily over the spring, the old end from the bundy tube will sleeve into the flexi pipe at the wheel box end, and at the motor end, with a bit of fettling, the secureing nut will fit over the end of the flexi. It comes in an ideal length, 800mm and as you can see from the photo below is very flexible whilst still being rigid. And it only cost £12, half the price of a bundy tube. I've done a trial fit and it's dead easy to install as well! I think we can call that a win.
  13. YAY! Can you bring it on your visit please? Roland
  14. 😂😂 is there anything you don't have Pete!
  15. Hello, Does anyone have a spare Elite tailgate bracket that the hatch lock attaches to? Number 30 in pic. Thanks
  16. Hi Lez, Yes, just replied 😉
  17. I've got my fingers (and everything else crossed) that you have the drivers door finisher... Roland
  18. Does anyone happen to have a drivers door, top chrome finisher (9 in pic) and a top windscreen finisher (14 in pic) ? Thanks Roland
  19. Does anybody happen know if the upper and lower tailgate finishers on the Elite are identical? I've had a look at the tailgate schematic and they list them as 5 and 6. Roland
  20. Hi Pete, Vapour blasted by The Refinishing Shop, Randall way Retford. They did a great job. Roland
  21. Hi Tom, Exhaust manifold isn't fitted yet, took rocker cover off but it was still fowling at the rear. We ended up taking out the o/s engine mount donut and losened the n/s donut which allowed the engine to lean over. Gives lots of space for the body to go straight down on to the chassis.
  22. First items to go back in were the radiator and condenser Once that was done we moved on to the next step a bit blured that one (was getting excited) It's been a long time coming, but finally they are back together again.
