I'm assuming they are not interchangeable between series'. Currently using Brookland screens but would prefer a windshield if one can be located. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Don

I have rewired it with my own wire and it's back on the road. Total time, 8 hours. Spent days trying to make sense of the Autosparks harness to no avail. It clearly is not made for my Seven. Complained to Autosparks twice and got 2 form letters.

Thanks all for the info and encouragement.

Croc - Actually I did specify (and paid for) two mods. The electric fan mod and the alternator mod. Got the fan mod. Did not get the alternator mod. Lots of extra dangling wires. In addition, the ignition wire grouping and the fuse box grouping are over 3 feet apart. Can't imagine where they proposed I mount the fuse box. Would reach half way to the front wing. I'll study all the info I have and see what I can come up with. Might just trash it and make my own. And to think I complained about devoting 2 days to rewire my Bugeye with a Moss harness.

Saw those. Thanks anyway.

Bought a Series 1 Seven that has always been raced. The only electrics on the car was a tach, stop light and cooling fan. All wired directly to the battery. No generator, no fuses, no head lamps. I ordered a "complete" wiring harness from Autosparks of UK and after 4 months I received it. It got caught up in Covid delays. I got a lot of wire in lovely colors but no wiring diagram. Call them and they told me that no diagram was available. Spent a week trying to make sense of it with very little headway. Studied schematics from other Sevens but nothing matched up. I've rewired several Brit cars without a hitch but I'm lost here. Any thoughts out there?

Thanks. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Anyone know anything about this ad or the dealer? He has no Ebay history. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1919-Lotus-Other/333018508206?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Saw this on Ebay this morning http://www.ebay.com/itm/301688517962?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Bought a rear end from them a couple of months ago and would consider them a good source.

Thanks for the input. I'm told that Spax has cleaned up their act of late and has improved quality. May be sorry but I got a deal on an open box, unused set so I figured I'd give them a try. Had Bilsteins on my Caterham and loved them. What are the specs of your springs? Free length and PSI. What is the primary use of your Seven?

Anyone out there with a Series 2 Seven with a Cortina axle? If so, what rear coilovers are installed. The Spax units designated for Series 2 & 3 (Spax G776) are too long by at least 2 inches. Thanks for any help. Don

Selling two air cleaners that I purchased for my Seven but would not clear my clam shells. Waited too long to return. They are either K&N or Redline. No lettering on the units. Fit 40/45 DCOE. Virtually brand new. The measure 7"x4.5"x3.25" high. Permanent filter is cleaned periodically. $80 for the pair Call Don 865-414-6990

I have a Detroit Locker differential for sale. Fits Cortina Mk 1 & 2, Escort Mk 1 & 2, and Anglia 105E. 22 spline English axle. Replaced it on my Seven in favor of a LSD for a more docile street experience. Great track/autocross rear but a little jerky for everyday street use. Asking $150.00

Actually, the differential unit that I am replacing is a Detroit Locker. There are no spacers. I assume that spacers will be needed if there is side to side movement greater than spec.

Thanks everyone for the input. I also felt that it would be doable until I found that no shop in my area would touch it. I'm thinking now that its a matter of unfamiliarity. I actually spoke to a shop manager at a local Ford dealer that had never heard of a Cortina. Think I'll just go at it.

Thanks for the input. I consider myself a pretty competent mechanic but, although I have a factory manual, I figured it might be best to let someone specifically experienced so as to have someone else to blame if something goes wrong. As I'm sure you're aware, extracting the rear is something you'd rather not do twice. Cheers Don

I am. And set up.

Is there anyone out there who is able and willing to set up a LSD rear for my Seven? Actually a Cortina Mk. 2 rear. Bought a Quaife LSD from the UK but was surprised to find that no one I contacted was willing to set it up for me. I have a comprehensive shop manual but am reluctant to tackle it myself. I live in East Tennessee but am willing to travel or ship as needed. Thanks for any help and Happy Holidays to all my Seven brothers. Don

Dave Bean in CA. is a good source for Seven springs. They can recommend and supply.

I have a 10" wheel that I replaced on my Seven. Fits your specs except for the horn button accommodation. Pics below. Don

Found some material and recovered the aluminum. Came out great. Thanks for the replys.
