    Is the old sump still intact/repairable? I use a welder/machinist in Sierra Madre might be able to do a proper repair.

    I didn't see anything on the NJMP site, but the NJ laws they referenced only mentioned 38.1 certification.

    Well this conversation encouraged me to get my Nextgen out and look it over. I'll be sending it off this week for recertification.

    I don't plan on being there, it's a bit of a drive from here, but you are welcome to borrow mine.

    I think calling Ken at Dave Bean has been suggested. If that fails perhaps Ivey Engines. They sell clutches and flywheels for Formula Ford and similar. There is an outfit in Long Beach, CA, that deals in Cortina and Escort parts. I can't find it now but will continue to look.

    I don't know if this will help, but... https://www.anglocanadianlotus7.ca/the-first-official-twin-cam-engined-seven-in-1965/ The twincam fits just fine in my S-3. I'm Altadena if you want to come up and look and/or take some measurements. A modern engine would be just fine but it wouldn't make the swell sound that comes from the twincam... Tom

    Spent the weekend on the California Central Coast and saw this nice fellow on the way to assist someone...

    Three gallons of gas? Heck, that's cheaper than two gallons in LA. Go to one of the breweries and I'll send cash to cover the first pitcher. Your books can be a real inspiration... tom

    I used a torch and a big hammer to create a little more clearance between the header tubes and the steering column.

    I bought my alternator from Dave Bean. Unfortunately the bracket that came with it mounts the unit low and this creates a problem on a left hand drive 7. I had a friendly machinist make another bracket to put it above the steering column. Also put some wrap on the #1 header tube. It works much better than the lump that came with the car.

    I bought mine from Moss Motors.

    Try Dave Bean

    Bought mine after an evening of beveraging at Laguna Seca, I was 67 at the time. Turned 75 last week and still enjoy driving and working on it. I had some difficulty getting out of it last year but a new hip cured that. Read of couple of Ross Robbins books about travel in Elans and Sevens for some perspective. I'll sell it when it no longer puts a smile on my face.

    I joined a few years ago with no issues. Tomorrow I'll look into what I did and give you an update. They had a good time and publish a swell magazine. tom

    You might try Moss Motors.

    Try Kroil or Silikroil from Kano Labs. It has never failed me. Squirt it, tap it a few times, and let it sit for a while. tom
