70 is optimistic for the total of Roti. Dennis Hedges (last shop foreman at Rotus) estimated 40 something for their 12? year production run. jb

Carl, I don't have the plastic yet, but it'll be 3/16" acrylic or polycarbonate. McMaster is on Fulton Industrial south of I-20, easy access for me, more of a trip from north Fulton.

Carl, You know McMaster-Carr, they have a selection of hinges.

Since you're in Atlanta, did you know about their will call window? Place an order online and you can pick it up 2 hours later. HTH, John

I wondered what Mazda has been up to

Here's an idea from the LocostUSA forum http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=16214&hilit=dead+pedal

Great speech. UT has a transcript up if you don't care to watch the video http://www.utexas.edu/news/2014/05/16/admiral-mcraven-commencement-speech/

Found it! Was in a thread here last year. He makes a variety of shapes sizes and colors in delrin. Reasonable prices too. [/url]http://shop.productinnovationsonline.com/

I don't have any good pics of my dash in its original glory but these taken during the current rebuild show the basic layout. Big speedo and tach, small oil pressure, water temp, voltage, and fuel. Switches are plain stainless toggles, 4 above, 4 below, with the starter a spring loaded toggle with a red guard And a work pic :jester:

To get back to bigdogs original complaint, remember in all Lotus Sevens in Spirit (and the spirit runs very strong in Caterhams) the ghost of Lucas is never far away. All hail the Prince of Darkness!

Yeah, my bad. The pic was supposed to be a Lotus 33, but you are right, Climax. This is better, http://www.speed-industries.ch/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/CosworthDFVo4-www.ruiamaraljr.blogspot.com_.jpg Now what kind of tranny would fit behind that in a Seven? Hmmm :drool:

What kind of V8 belongs in a Seven? Why a Cosworth DFV of course http://www.pbase.com/sarrana/image/129136939.jpg A Caterham CSR chassis with a Cossie DFV wedged in, ah the stuff dreams are made of. Well that, Amy Adams, Scarlett Johansson, and a gallon of Wesson oil.

You're right, you folks are easily amused That is quite a hedge trimmer

He's asking $12,500 in his listing over at LocostUSA

John, love the info on your suspension redesign project. To continue the thread hijack the Isle of Man (Manx is what the natives are) TT is alive and well. Scheduled for 26 May to 6 June this year. It is surprising that in this PC, safety first, age it is allowed, but the Island still has some autonomy from the UK, and the Tourist Trophy is important to them. Check out videos online of it, absolutely nuts. Triple digit speeds through village streets lined with stone cottages. And now back to your regularly scheduled thread. Cheers, John
