Woo Hoo! Good for you. Happy wife - Happy Life. And you keep your car. Sounds like a win-win to me. Some guys build airplanes for the fun of building them and then sell the project as soon as it is one. You have hit the lottery here. Have fun...

I have used Flanders Motorcycle Company for years. The handle quality stuff and will make up a cable for you. They are knowledgeable and reliable. http://www.flandersco.com/ Give them a call and see what they can do to help you out. Tom

How far afield is this? Tony LaVier, Lockheed test pilot, restored a Velie Monocoupe, flew it for a bit, and donated it to a museum. I met him while he was making engine parts at a shop in Signal Hill. tom

Me too, in a S-3 Caterham

Heck, I wish it was closer to California

I have had good luck with Nisonger Instruments. You may want to check with them. http://www.nisonger.com/index.htm tom

Look at Crow Safety Gear http://crowsafetygear.com/ They can likely set you up with whatever you need. Tom

Ken is an enabler, in a very good way.

I bought mine from Dave Bean.

Excellent response! I have a bunch of them that I hope to never need. I'll email you and see what we can work out.

how many do you need

I bought these from Summit and they work very well. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-2788

I thought about the chrome one but the finance department/wife was beginning to question whether the Seven was really less expensive than an airplane...

I put mine on the floor in front of the passenger seat.

I installed a GPS speedometer from Nisonger Instruments that matches the other Smiths instruments in my 1983 S-3. The antenna is on a bracket I fabricated in the nose, in front of the radiator. Works great.

I would have a Lotus 27. A buddy had one in his dining room, he was single, and I was going to buy it. He sat me down and had a fatherly talk with me then ended up selling it to someone else for more than I was going to pay. His sensible mentoring (?) began the path to my Seven which he approved of it whole heartedly. He did point out that I might get into less trouble driving the Seven to coffee in the morning.

Centrally located here in Pasadena...

I like it and working on some photos that won't be too embarrassing. But agree with Bill. Whatever works for you. Tom

I plan to drive some of the proper roads on the central coast of California and attempt to do a track day that does not result in a new engine and transmission.

Mine is an '83 S-3 car and the tube is round.

I used Kroil from Kano Labs. It has never let me down.

Dave Beans shop is still open. I'm a very regular customer, much to the chagrin of my wife...

My car was assembled in 1983 and registered as such in California. I went to the DMV in Pasadena. A friend had given them a heads up that I was seeking an SB100 Sequence Number. They did not have a clue. The boss brought out a huge dust covered book that looked like it came from a Harry Potter movie. After about an hour of page turning and head shaking they figured it out and we completed the application. They were bewildered but at least worked to figure it out. I got the Sequence Number about a week later and the BAR inspector issued a new sticker. Mine indicates a 1960 engine and SPCNS. The registration papers indicate that it is exempt from smog inspections.

I have an upper column from my ‘83 S3 that you can have.
