  1. "1969 Lotus Seven. S4 chassis with S3 body." is that even possible?
  2. Also, its not just whether the wires on the cap are in the correct positions. There are typically 11 drive teeth on the distributor drive gear, and therefore 10 ways to get it wrong when you install it into the block....
  3. the extended length, unsupported ball joint in bending the spring/damper punch loads through flat stock on the lower A-Arm I will delete my earlier comment and leave others to decide for themselves
  4. no, just seriously over-thinking it.... we have what sounds like an identical trailer, and a Formula Atlantic with 1" of front ride height... a couple of pieces of 2x4 a few feet long each raises the front wheels as they reach the break point in the floor, and then move the wood back to lift the rears as car moves forward.
  5. any particular reason? other than cost perhaps? foam is item of choice in virtually every race fuel cell on the planet :-)
  6. @ $7295 I'm guessing very early 70's ?
  7. SOLD, thx USA7s
  8. would he/she be willing to eventually share details of the impending importation, the highs and (hopefully no) lows? thanks
  9. sold, thanks.
  10. only the jack on left and handle on right now available.
  11. did you try Ted Wenz across town here at Savannah Race Engineering? they do (did?) lots of Formula Ford in their day, still do vintage..... tell him Ian sent you please
  12. well, sure isnt a spool, but gotta say I've never seen a diff like the photo you posted :-)
  13. lots of questions about bushings, here's a photo of what I have.
  14. UPDATED 11/28 Going through a box of Caterham spares, and found all this which in truth I'll never get around to needing; any interest in some or all? - vacuum advance dizzy with cap, used, unknown history. - steering rack gaiter/bellows, new - rubber boot seal for end of anti-roll bar fitting - four DCOE main jets #115 - GENERIC SCISSOR JACK AND HANDLE - FOUR sections of fender beading, from 32" to 55" - 6pc live axle bushing kit - MISC ELECTRICAL HARNESS END FITTINGS - TWO TEMP SENSORS, ONE ADAPTER-TO-BLOCK FITTING - 3/8 R thread acorn wheel nuts, qty 6
  15. yes, a spool is locked solid, zero differential action. if, and that's IF it is a spool, its the last thing you want on a street 7, or even occasional track day 7... spools are for high power cars under unique conditions; all you'll do is wear out tires and understeer yourself into frustration
  16. was something else removed before taking the photo? if that is an open diff, where are the spider gears? earlier poster suggested a spool, that's my vote too; no LSD there, I'll bet its solid.
  17. maybe from Victoria British?
  18. sale pending......
  19. Lotus Twin Cam was a 1558cc Cosworth did the iconic BDA 1600 race engine, and a milder street version called the BDR (R for road as I understand it)
  20. absolutely true in my case :-) and nearly went blind from all those TINY screws LOL
  21. it's a BDR twin cam
  22. bonnet removed to show BDR detail
  23. SOLD. thx
