Cycle fenders were an option and this clamp was used for the lower cycle fender support

Its a standard Triumph axel with Stegosaurus plate reinforcement. Nathen Down noted that welding on the plate often causes toe-out. Fortunately we discovered this problem with my axel before getting it cleaned up and powder coated. He is reworking it to get it back to neutral or slight toe-in. Incidentally, Nathen got 4th place in the Formula Ford 2024 SCCA National Championship Runoffs. (then 3rd and on the podium after one of the first 3 was disqualified) The race is now on YouTube if you want to check it out.

Hi Guys, apologies for asking for help and then failing to follow up with your kind responses! My feeble excuse is that Chris at Redline said that he could furnish the series 2 nose cone that I need. That may have been a mistake as after 8 months he has not come through. In fairness, he has had trouble with his supplier and I am in no rush.....just taking my time and savoring this restoration. Here are some recent photos. 2025 Lotus2025 Lotus instrument panel.txt2024 Lotus wiring.txt instrument panel.txt

I have a restored Series 2 Chassis (thankyou Nathen Down) and have now discovered that the nose cone that came with the project is incorrect. Any ideas where I could source the correct nose cone? I understand (per Josh Robbins) that the correct nose cone depends on the bonnet length as the rear nosecone shelf has 2 different lengths available. My bonnet length is 37.5 inches.

My S2 project came with SW rather than AC Temp and Oil Pressure gauges. Could these be original?

My S2 has a Ford 109 ford Cosworth engine and we modified some S3 mounting brackets to work. Thanks for your response!

Are S2 and S3 engine mounting brackets interchangeable?

Obviously, I am a novice when it comes to navigation this web site. The below statement is from me and not SENC. I now have a thread gage and the threads do measure 26 TPI. The fitting matches the British Standard Brass (BSB) 1/2-26 size. Fitting of this size are apparently no longer available. Taps and dies are still available but under the circumstances I think that I will just use 7/16" ID gas hose with a hose clamp. Incidentally www.britishfasteners.com is an excellent source of info. Thanks for all the help!

Thank you, guys! We are getting closer to an answer! I don't have a tread pitch gage but here is a 1/4"-28 for comparison. the fitting could very well be a 1/2 x 26.

Does anyone know the thread spec for the Series 2 gas tank vent? I checked with Ken at Dave Bean and his research indicated it was not BSP or Whitworth and I confirmed that it was not SAE or Metric. What else could it be? We are stumped!

Thanks guys, Unfortunately, I no longer have the posts on the bottom of the radiator but at least the radiator is otherwise in good shape....boiled out and pressure tested. So rather than disturb the integrity of the radiator I think I will just attach the these fasteners with adhesive. The next question is which adhesive?ive?

I need some help figuring out how to mount the radiator in my S-2 project. The bottom of the radiator has 2 inserts that align with the mounting clips on the frame. I have purchased the rubber mounting plugs from Dave Bean that fit into the holes in the clips. The rubber mounting plugs have threaded inserts that somehow must attach to the radiator. The radiator inserts look like they may have had a threaded stud in them. But if so, they are broken off. Assuming this is the case, I could drill out and replace the broken studs and thread the rubber mounting plugs into them. Is my analysis correct? Comments or suggestions appreciated! Bill
