Does anybody know of anyone in the US, that is building GRP noses for the Series3 ? I see scattered ads for folks in the UK but the shipping is out of sight.Any info appreciated.

I have a spare nose, just not sure of lineage.

Any obvious identifiers?

Where are you located?

I have a Lotus S2 nose in need of repair... would be same as S3 presuming Lotus scuttle and bonnet. Email me (johnd@simplesevens.org) and I can send you pics. Shipping from MI to NM might still be a bit spendy though...

John, Sorry to be so slow in responding. My Seven is an '85 S3. So, what is broken? How much,$?, and perhaps I could send prepaid box w/packing to you. Mine was broken in towing "incident" w/wife. Re-glassed it but I am thinking of the future. Pictures would be great. Steve Pattillo/Jemez Springs,NM

Steve, send me your email address and I'll send you photos. Nothing's broken, the nose is mostly repaired, just needs finishing. I took a ton of bondo off it and fixe it corretly with fiberglass... Oh, just noticed you say 1985 S3 -- that's a Caterham then? Do you know if it uses the original Lotus shaped nose or the Caterham nose? They are slightly different...
