  1. Short answer, they all will do that. You can't stay 100% original and have HP and use it. A plate to match the contours or bridge is usually welded on to the axle. For gears, maybe tr7, but that requires different axles and machine work. That to a local vintage racer.
  2. Have Holbay valve cover. Wayne super7guy7@yahoo.com
  3. I believe these to be original S1 fixed cycle fenders. I picked them up in Wales in the 70s. Wayne
  4. Have set of cycle fenders and original brackets FS. Wayne, super7guy7@yahoo.com or 619-444-0840
  5. Hi, It has been on outgoing discussion, but you not lose 50 lbs with the duratec; maybe 10-15 lbs. Better breathing via larger valves and shorter stroke. I think that the factory weight for the zetec was with cast iron maniford. I checked with Raceline a time ago and they weighed 95 Kg ready to install. I weighed mine and it was 215-220 ready to install. Not much difference.
  6. Hi, Don't know how well a duratec 2.3 will swap into an S3. There may be interference with steering shaft and front cover. You will need to do a lot of measuring. The zetec is a common swap as it fits without too many modifications. When I installed mine, only the output of the water pump housing had to be modified. Of course, there are motor mounts, headers and other swap related tasks. Be interesting to follow your swap. Wayne
  7. Has anybody tried a Hydramat by Holley for their fuel pickup. The claims are impressive. Wayne
  8. How can you beat this value $85. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/23-Ford-7-3-4-Inch-Racing-Pressure-Plate,8585.html bolts in place of 8 1/2; requires spacing the throwout bearing closer to the flywheel. Wayne
  9. SVT should be a good choice. Be careful using a stock disc if the engine revs over 6k. The standard type disc will disintegrate over that RPM. I have had that happen. Might suggest a RAM clutch assembly that can be purchased from Speedway. Mine revs to 8K and so far, no problems after 2 yrs of WOT shifts. Wayne Be interesting to hear how the intake manifold works out.
  10. Hi, Where are you located? I have replaced the radiator, added fuel injection and changed the steering rack on my long cockpit, big tube, BD chassis Cat of the same era. Call me to discuss, Wayne 619-444-0840
  11. RAM has a clutch assembly for the 2.0 and 2.3 Pinto. Bought mine from Speedway. Bolted right on to the Redline steel flywheel; not sure if you are using the SVT flywheel as it is setup for the larger bolts. Wayne
  12. Also look at the English dimension for 10/32 as that size interchanges with 5mm. Wayne
  13. try "gas-springs.biz motorhomes use these to hold up the interior doors. Wayne
  14. John, yes, SB1497 came with clams, but has the provision for cycle fenders. These fenders were picked up in Wales in 1978 when I was working there. Unless I list prices, I don't do not discuss pricing via emails. Call me at 619-444-0840. Wayne
  15. Pic posted of A1 alloy cycle fenders. Buy these before I mount them on SB1497. Wayne 619-444-0840
  16. Real Bullit, 3 rail, 2821E with ultraclose ratio, full synchro and magnesium tailhousing with internal remote shifter. This is the "holy grail" of 3 rails. All up weight of 45 lbs. pics on californiacaterham site or contact me. call me for more info, 619-444-0840 Wayne
  17. Hi, If you missed this pair of cycle fenders, I have a pair of fenders that appear to be in better condition and have the mounting brackets. Contact for pics and/or information. Wayne, "super7guy7@yahoo.com" 619-444-0840
  18. While watching Car Crazy noticed an all white S4 in the Monico museum; white body and white upholstery, chrome roll bar and headlights, alloy wheels. There was an air intake cut into the nose cone and the drivers (RHD) side. They said that the Prince was into all types of cars. Wayne

  20. Retro, Have you decided whether you want a real Lotus, Caterham or ? Within those decisions for Lotus, do you want originality or restomod like shown in Classic Motorsports with stroker crossflow, 5 speed, etc.? Within those decisions for Caterham, early or late, live, dedion axle, or independent, kent bases, zetec or duratec? Lots to consider Wayne
  21. Hi, Don't know where you are located, I am in San Diego. I have some options that we can talk about including cortina housing, datsun 1200 with LSD (which is as narrow as TR10); trades. Wayne, 619-444-0840
