I’m in North Carolina and recently added a third 1966 Lotus 7 S2 restoration project to my collection. This joins a 1984 Caterham, and 1969 Lotus 7 Series1 vintage racer. This will be a full restoration including re-skin, and, fortunately came with almost all the new aluminum parts for this. Some items are missing, so I need:

 

Right motor mount for a twincam engine. This should be the same as for the Ford Kent pushrod motors. 
 

Fuel tank

 

Alternator

 

Original type steering wheel

 

Under the dash hand brake mechanism and cable (or please tell me the vehicle for these) 

 

Linkages to connect handbrake cable at the rear axle to the brake mechanisms. The car has been converted to a Ford rear axle so parts from a solid axle Caterham might work. 

 

Other items will, of course, be need, so I will likely make other requests down the road. 
 

Thanks!!!!!

Congratulations!  Jacob Engineering make high quality steering wheel repros. https://jacobengineering.co.uk/index.php/steering-wheels-2/

 

RD Enterprises or Dave Bean are US sources for motor mounts - I'd recommend the heavy duty version.  They may have other items as well, but for whatever they don't have Chris Mintoff at Redline, Mick Beveridge at xtraspecialsevens, and Tony Ingram at lotus7.com are leading suppliers.

There is a typo in my original posting. As series one car was manufactured in May, 1960, not in 1969.
