On my car, '82 S-3, Green is the turn signal indicator Red is generator Blue is high beams

I bought my crank from Ivey Racing Engines in Oregon. They are great to work with and it came peened, balanced, and polished. I used a new cast block, which Ivey will also sell you. They are great people to deal with and really know what they are doing. I'm running a twincam so had the block bored and used short pistons. Tom

Great idea. When we get back from our forced exodus from Altadena I'll look into getting something spooled up in SoCal. Tom

Found it. PM your mailing address and I'll send it off.

If it is the same as for a Caterham I will go see if I have 40" in the garage tomorrow. I ordered too much...

how long?

No problems. There are some threads here about pulling it out. I made sure that the steering wheel lock was not engaged by turning the ignition on. Mine came right out. Some guys have had to use a bit of force. It is possible to damage the white plastic bushing that is in the dashboard so I bought a spare.

I bought the QR and top shaft from them. The QR is already attached to the upper column. Easy installation they are very nice to deal with.

On my car, a '82 S-3, the master cylinder has separate lines/circuits for the left and right front brakes. When I ordered a new Spitfire master cylinder it had one circuit for the left and right front brakes. The left side was worn and my brakes pulled to the left. Rather than modify the plumbing I found a shop that rebuilt/sleeved master cylinders and had it rebuilt. Jeff was not able to sleeve them but did an excellent job of rebuilding them. http://www.karpspb.com/cylinders I bought my pads from Porterfield. https://porterfield-brakes.com/ I bought a kit to overhaul the front calipers from Moss Motors and it came with the O-rings. No leaks yet... Tom

A man has got to know his limitations. Dirty Harry.

I bought mine from the original owner already assembled. All my daughter wants to do is drive it...

I used the Odyssey box on top of the footboy shelf. Easy job since I am not encumbered with luxuries like a heater... tom

Many years ago I built two panels for my Cessna 140. It wasn't that difficult with a couple of the correct size chassis punches, a small shear, and files and such. The most difficult part was rolling the bottom of the panel under 90 degrees for a small lip. I had the local junior college metal shop do the bend, they did the radius to sharp and I got to make another panel. I am by no stretch of the imagination a craftsman, but it came out very well. Today there are a number of online resources that will help you design a panel and then they will cut the panel that you design. Tom

Anyone else going to the West Coast Lotus Meet? October 17-20 at Clearlake CA. https://westcoastlotusmeet.com

I think that one is for Bonanza owners...

Well yeh...

I bought the cigarette lighter socket I installed at West Marine but I don't see it on their website now. Aircraft Spruce has some, one of which is stupidly expensive.

You might look at Burton and see what they recommend. https://www.burtonpower.com/spark-plug-ngkbp7es.html Or my fallback, call Ken at Dave Bean.
