  1. OEM application is models of cars used on. They are likely to be a continuation from an older small car. I sent a PM.
  2. Does anyone know the OEM application for those sliders?
  3. Hey, your wings can match the seats
  4. It looks like bringing the pedals back may require a shorter brake piston pusher rod. You can find replacement lengths on Pegasus Racing. Also, occasionally disconnect the clutch cable there to unwind it if it's twisted. Always drive with a spare cable and be able to change it at the worst possible time and place. Expect a new cable to stretch out. Love the cable. You won't have the problems that come with hydraulics.
  5. I saw strong healthy people get severely ill or die from covid. I saw one spouse get sick and the orher not. Do what you can to reduce your exposure and harden your immune system. Stay healthy and don't smoke. Do what you can to be strong enough to fight off infection. Everything after that is luck, fate, etc. The next virus to come around will require a different formula of immunity. If over 50 or high risk, the best thing to do is leave the population.
  6. This? https://uberniche.co.uk/mirror-mounts.html
  7. I am noticing there are no headlines reporting Chinese (let's be polite) activities in the South sea and Taiwan. I doubt China is standing down. It's a tinderbox not making headlines since January.
  8. Add more blinker fluid. Sorry
  9. The cam # should be stamped on the end of the shaft. Will need to remove the sprocket to see it, I believe. Perrysdad should have a GT cam. But as it goes with these 7s, few can resist the urge to put in a cam. So, no, we can't assume anything here. But surely, there must be a general running gap he can use, no?
  10. From the Caterham Pink manual
  11. @pickles This can't be right. Glue? Mirrors usually have socket cups to attach to the housing. This is a hack job. What glue was used? Often, the quality and technique of the surface prep is the determining factor for any glue to work. Try this. Get a roll of adhesive backed Velcro and a block of foam. Cut the foam to be a pedestal to attach the mirror to and to the middle of the housing. Velcro front an back of foam block.
  12. @Timothy Keith-Lucas If you would like a test mule to do the reverse wiring hacks on, you can have this one: Its 80mm. I DO NOT know if it works.
  13. The majority of 7 improvements from late S2 on can be attributed to Grahm Nearn and Co. The Improvements were implemented from Caterham suggestions. Most notably the fitting of the Twin Cam. Chapman knew he had to go upmarket and the 7 wasn't that direction. 7 sales could not sustain Lotus. When the 7 cut into Elan and Europa sales, Chapman was keen to unload the 7. I'm not claiming Chapman didn't have an affection for the 7, he did. I think it represents the affordable sport motoring market Lotus aimed to serve. But 7 sales couldn't sustain Lotus. Not with Jimmy Clark winning races. Lotus and Ford could sell more Cortinas. Did Lotus fail to adequately market the 7? Possibly. The 7 was a short term program that has lasted almost 70 years. The wife was right.
  14. Even if you stop finding leaks, before putting it back in the car and reassembling, you must do a full pressure test. Get a long pressure hose to connect to the MC and bleed. Then the slave in a vice or something to capture the piston and pressurize the slave outside of the bell housing.
  15. @MRH Lookie here https://www.ebay.com/itm/374927424164
  16. Here, from Tony Weale's book
  17. You give Chapman more credit for 7 creation than he deserves. Most people do. The Lotus team put the 7 together. Chapman's ambitions were far past the crude 7 when he drew the basic outline on a napkin and handed it to his engineers. And it was his wife's idea to begin with.
  18. I believe Lotus fitted Triumph shifter extensions to Ford boxes. Take apart that turret and clean it up, new grease, etc.
  19. Stancart? Could that be "Stanpart", which would be Triumph which an early S2 most likely would be.
  20. Try sliding this plate back and forth. @MV8 trick. Maybe refresh the selector saddle if it's worn.
  21. Will three small pizzas fit?
  22. Phil, consider a brake proportioning valve for bias control? With better pads.
  23. These new cars are packed so tight, I can only suggest that the order of disassembly be the opposite of assembly.
  24. Did Demon come through?
