Bold move Antonio. I suppose anyone can always revert back to original if needed. Definitely go for the one with the red strip, if you're going to go different, then might as well go all the way

Also no space in the channel of the bulkhead. i still have both roll over valves, maybe this setup was different? Can't seem to figure out where the vent pipe exits the car

Engine Bay Cables Does anyone have a reference picture of how the handbrake cables and rear hatch cables should pass around the fuel tank ? Should these cables pass behind the fuel tank or underneath it? Also trying to figure out the exit holes of the handbrake cables in the engine bay Door Catch Do I need nuts at the after the door catch bolt spacers and bracket or is this correct as is? Sorry for all the basic questions, but I'm hoping to fit things on the correct way round before moving forwards

Hi Guys, finally back working on the esprit! Its been 6 years since I've taken the car apart.. so I am seeking some help putting it back together. Fuel Vent Pipes Is the fuel vent pipe supposed to cross over from one filler neck to the other via this channel? Also does the vent pipe connect from left to right and then at the T piece of the left side and out of the car via this hole next to the fuel tank access?

Hi Guys, I'm still here! Finally moved the esprit to its new (and final) garage! Had a few worries that the cars won't fit, but all fits nicely and with space to work on both Very Chuffed! Looks like I might pickup the gearbox and have someone else do the work for me.. Pretty fed up of waiting for my mechanic to do something! So time to take some action and crack on with re-build!

SJ's supply the modified brace (just a bolt on setup), so you can also keep the original I am considering going for this manifold -

Hey Antonio, Aren't those the same codes you have listed for both items? -
Hi Antonio, Think I've also got these patches. Maybe they were kept for AC fittings on both LHD and RHD cars?

Hi Guys, It's been a while since I've posted an update. As some of you guys know, progress has been slowed down drastically as we've just had a baby girl also just moved house this year. I'm progressing my way to clearing out our garage so I can trailer my lotus over to finish off the build. Hoping to move it in a couple of months hopefully. In the meantime.. still chasing my mechanic to rebuild the engine!! - lesson learned - Always try and do as much as possible yourself!
