  1. Seat Belts Plus. com - your choice of latch styles and 30 colors
  2. Thanks, guys. Now I have a lot to think about and research. I know I don't want the "RV / trailer lights" Caterham is using. Looking at Harley soft tail lights, too.
  3. I'm looking for someone who can build a windshield for my 7/Miata project. I have the "brackets" but need some custom glass in a metal frame. Any suggestions? I'm in the Seattle area if that helps.
  4. Does anyone know what tail lights were used on the early Sevens? I have looked at MG, Triumph, and Morris parts,but so far, no luck. My 62 Lotus 7 replica needs some back-end lighting.
  5. I'm installing 3-point seat belts in my Lotus 7 replica, and need to have any input on how high the shoulder belt anchorage should be above the floor or seat. I'm seeing around 35 inches for production vehicles, so I need recommendations for putting a 1/2" bolt through 1 1/2" roll bar tubing without kinking, crushing, or weakening the roll bar integrity.
  6. Do I need to keep the engine computer and Mass Air Flow box to get the engine to run? I pulled out all the wiring for power this and that, pop-up headlights, radio, HVAC, windshield washer/wiper, etc, but there are computer connections left unconnected. Can I just hand-wire for starter, ignition, fuel pump and lights, and get the engine to run, or is it dependent on the computer?
  7. Setting up the front suspension - I have the upper and lower a-arms parallel to the floor and to each other. Is this right? If I move the upper arm mounts up to the top, I will have a little more travel, but I'm not sure the shocks and springs will even allow that. Is the upper/lower parallel idea true for unequal-length or is it just for equal-length? any advice would be appreciated. Brunton Stalker kit for 1962 Lotus 7 with "donor" Miata drivetrain
  8. Just a follow-up: If you own a Stalker, or have dreamed of owning one, Scott might like to hear from you. He is working to get the business back up and running, and might appreciate hearing from any well-wishers. scott.bruntonauto@gmail.com
  9. Hello; I was a fan of Lotus from the late 60s, and purchased the last "North American" Europa while stationed in Europe. Beautiful metallic Blue, oatmeal interior, and a huge package of gold pinstriping (John Player Special Edition). However, I was returning to the Midwest, and there were only three Lotus "dealers" in the U.S. at the time; New York, Baton Rouge, and Seattle, so I decided to pass on the dream. Fast forward 44 years, through jobs, marriage and family, and more boring cars than I can remember. At my retirement, my amazing kids (and their equally amazing spouses) presented me with a Brunton Stalker kit for a 62 Lotus Seven using drivetrain from a Miata. I am spending a lot of my free time working on it, and having a ball! Plan to post some pictures, and will follow threads here to pick up tips,
