Attempting to do a trial assembly of my S4 Seven. New fiberglass body. Question (no doubt more to come). The stamped bracket that appears to hold the steering column. Number 19 in the parts list. How does the bracket fit? in the fiberglass lip below the speedometer and tachometer? There is a wide "U" area below the speedometer and tachometer that the steering column fits into. Is fiberglass removed to fit the bracket?

THank you for the reply. What does the early 7 heater look like? Appears the heater hangs from the lower/bottom part of the cowl/scuttle. Motor protruding into engine compartment. Spitfire heater has long water tubes, would need to be cut down. Lotus Elan could fit, seems rather large in size. Does anyone have a picture of the 7 heater? Or information about size or what works or, where did the heater unit come from what vehicle? Thanks in advance. In Arizona USA

For my S4 7 project. Looking to buy or build heater assembly. Not sure if the S3, S2 Seven cabin heater will work. Perhaps pictures of the assembly should look like? I have an Elan heater assembly, seems rather large, assume that is out of a Triump Spitfire? Also have a Lotus Europa heater, small no place for fan. There is not much room in there, heater should be flat? Any ideas what the heater is out of? I have read, Land Rover? None of the land Rover heater assemblies look flat. Appreciate the help and information. Thanks in advance. Steve V. In Arizona

I am looking for an S4 windscreen frame and seats. I have a set of new undrilled windscreen side supports and also a set of side screens with sliding windows I could swap or? I think the S4 chassis side panels will have to fabricated. Steve V. Arizona USA

Working on my Lotus S4 7. Noticed the nose in the air, engine, transmission and body on/in. Spax shocks, removed springs; 12 inches long free, did online calculator; 118lbs. per inch rate. Is this the correct spring for the car? Too me, appear too stiff and too long? I think for fast road on an S3 7, 150lbs. per inch, 10 inch free length? With the present springs installed, when I jump on the front cross member, car does not move. Shocks have about 6 inches (top to bottom) spring space, at where the ride height should be. Looking for nice ride, no racing. Getting S4 7 information has become almost impossible. Anyone else have an S4 that I can network with? Thank you in advance. Steve V. S4 Seven in Arizona

I have that gauge, do not need. Sent a private PM. I am looking for Lotus S4 Seven parts and information. Steve V. S4 Seven in Arizona USA

Craig, You have adjustable upper arms for the S4 and S1 Lotus Europa? Yes interested, if possible can you e-mail pictures? I do not like rod ends on the street, would adapt to have adjustable Metalastic bushing holders. I assume, half inch rod ends? Thank you, Steve V.

I too have seen the upper adjustable ball joint on formula cars and Sports Racers from the sixties. But where does in come from? UK Ford Van or? Something from the USA that has the correct taper, no problem with threads. Steve V.

I don't think this has been resolved. At least can find nothing on the site. Building adjustable control arms for my S4 Seven. Considering using the top adjustable ball joint. What is the source for the adjustable upper ball joint (tie rod end from?). Or, what vehicle is off of? Standard is Spitfire. Canley Classics has similar arrangement Fits Spitfire only , Bank Europa does also and it fits. The S4 Seven has an S1 Europa front suspension, I think, the steering rack is Ford. Not sure if the sway bar is specific to the S4 Seven yet? Thank you for the time and information. Steve V. S4 Seven In Arizona USA

Any information on location of next LOG? Any S4 Sevens at LOG this year? Thank you for the information. Steve V. S47 in Arizona

Not sure where to post this. Still have my Lotus Seven S4 project. Need a windscreen surround frame, windscreen wiper assembly, front headlamp brackets, seat frames, and heater assembly. Someone must have turned an S4 seven into a race car or parted one out and has these parts. Redline UK so far has no parts on hand. Perhaps a source for parts? I had a source in Germany making parts but he has not posted in some time. Have a several parts posted I would like to sell cheap , see for sale. I need space for projects. Or, trade my project for a Fisher Fury? Fisher Fury? That is a long shot. Sorry, if posted in wrong place. Steve V. In Arizona USA Phone; 520-378-4665 Land line does not do texts.

Against my better judgment I have a Lotus 7 S 4 (the orphan 7). Looking for a windscreen surround, front headlamp brackets, seats or seat frames, heater assembly, windscreen wiper assembly. Someone must have a car that has been parted out or turned into a race car for parts. I had a source for parts in Germany but have not had any contact with him lately. Or, trade my project S4 Seven for a Fisher Fury? I have a new body, done chassis, all kinds of new parts, except the parts needed. Thank you for the time and information. Steve V.

Have gauges and rear sump oil pan still for sale. Make a reasonable offer on parts, I need space. Steve V. In Arizona USA. PH # 520-378-4665

Ford Cross flow rear sump pan still for sale. Need to clean out parts. Make me a reasonable offer. Steve V. In Arizona USA Land line will not do text messages. PH# 520-378-4665

I have found a source for 7 S4 parts in Germany. The problem is shipping charges. FED/EX, DHL, UPS all use a formula of; l=2w=2h must equal 130 or the box becomes some type of freight and expensive. Weight is not a problem as I doubt there will be over 80 pounds in the box. Is there a source for slow boat shipping and or reasonable rates? I am going to guess the box will be: 44 inches long, 30 wide, 26 inches tall. Full of S4 Seven parts from Germany. What I need is some type of small scale international freight broker like I used for shipping my Spyder chassis over (Spyder handled the details). It was less cost than shipping this box! Thank you in advance. Steve V. In Arizona

I now have more parts for sale or trade, still have the rear sump oil pan also. Two barrel downdraft Weber carburetor, aluminum Ford (some minor gasket matching done to ports) intake manifold and K&N air filter for 1600 Ford Crossflow. Caterham gauges; Electronic tachometer with black bezel, rear female electrical connector (I do not have male connector), need brackets. Oil pressure gauge, electrical, black bezel, broken male thread, has bracket. Water temperature gauge, black bezel, with bracket, electrical. Gauges are Caterham on face on side; Caerbont? 14/99. Do not know if gauges work. Came with car in box. Make a reasonable offer and we can go from there. Steve V. In Arizona

For my, Ford 1600 Crossflow S4 seven. I am looking for some type of interesting aluminum rocker cover (Valve cover). Perhaps some type of Caterham cover or? For wet sump. Also a good, non corroded two side draft Weber intake manifold with heater capabilities. This is the short intake. I know this a long shot but, also need the windscreen surround, windscreen wiper assembly, seats, headlamp mounts, hood latch and correct heater (Land Rover?) for my S4 seven project. Perhaps someone converted their car to a race car and has the parts left over? Thanks in advance, Steve V. In Arizona

I will be at LOG, I know this is probably not going to happen but......perhaps there will be a Seven S4 at LOG? I bought an unfinished S4 Seven, of course in pieces, I need parts; (Windscreen frame, seats, headlamp brackets and more) and see how parts fit. My S4 Seven project is the only S4 Seven I have seen. I will have the green Elan +2 from Arizona. Steve V. In Arizona

Thanks for the response. Yes I would be interested in a front sump pan if it fits. Do you have pictures you can post or send? Steve V.

I know have in my possession a S4 7 project. Are there any S4 7 owners on the list? I am in need of information on the firewall holes, where to run brake lines, the car has no windshield wipers, what to do on the wiper motor and gears? Not sure what the parking brake pulley size is, or what vehicle it came off of. Hood prop, where does it fit on the hood (Bonnet). And more. Thanks for the help in advance. Mr.Vman in Arizona

Enclosed are pictures of the rear sump modified oil pan as requested. I am in need of a front sump, lip seal Ford, Cross Flow oil pan. Would like to buy or trade.
