Rich, Interesting observation about the lack of centering of the Veglia guages. When I got my S1, I noticed the same and contacted the previous owner (41 years of ownership). He said that the guages

Were any of the early cars with Veglia gauges centered within their cutouts? Also, seems like an unusual place for radio placement. -- Rich F '79 JPS #040 '95 S4s ...SHF63000

Good to hear. Hope it is restored to an original car, and not ‘violated’ with an engine swap, wings, and slammed. Sent: Monday, May 13, 2024 11:32 AM To: [email protected]

@Bill - This is not a scam. I'm was contacted by the family. They wanted the car to go to a good home and reached out to the local Lotus community of which I'm a part (see Golden Gate Lotus Club). To

I was just suggesting to anyone that is eager to buy their first Lotus that scams have occurred in the past on a car that looks too good to be true, at an incredible price, to generate a lot of

don't suggest a scam unless you know it is..... not fair for you to overshadow someone's post without knowing. "innocent until proven guilty"!

Rich,? I followed the instructions in my service manual and cleaned and burnished the points.? I'm thinking that is the only problem I've had with mine.? Purchased two before I took the time to

Rich, I was able to rebuild/adjust mine by studying a YouTube video or two. I recall it took me a few tries but cost nothing other than my time. Ian. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

What is the cost of the new fuel pump versus what will it cost you in time, money, and aggravation if you don’t replace it in your garage, instead of on the side of the road, or have to be towed

On my 79 JPS Esprit, I sometimes have to hit it for it to start pumping. Is this an easy fix or is it time for a new fuel pump? -- Rich F '79 JPS #040 '95 S4s ...SHF63000

As an update, I purchased a DOM tube with an OD of 1.5", .065" wall, ID 1.37".? I enlarged the holes in the link and welded the sleeve in place.? Unfortunately, the bushing (1.375") will not press

I believe the original bushes were molded into the arm. You were meant to replace the arm when the bush wore out. Then later the bush became a separate replaceable part. With a press in sleeve

Good to know that 1.625" was used. I was considering 1.5" OD with a wall of .065", which would leave an ID of 1.37". With a bush OD of 1.375" it just might press in.? However, the sleeve wall

Going by my Esprit S3 lower arms (actually modified Elite), the bush housing was 1.625" nominal OD, but the wall thickness is slightly inconsistent. I suspect that it may have been bored in situ after

Thanks Paul. The video was very helpful. I'm not familiar with DOM sizes, but the outside diameter of the bushing is 35mm at the ends and 34.94mm in the middle. Do you think reaming the ID of the tube

It's not exactly rocket surgery. Soup Classic Motoring has just done it on his YouTube channel, cutting the old housing out with a hole saw. Not my level of precision!, I'd be setting it up on the

Hello all, I'm replacing all front suspension bushings, ball joints, springs and shocks on my 1977 Esprit S1. All was going well until I came upon the front lower link inner bushing.? Apparently,
