Hi Vinman1, me again.

A few years ago I purchased some spare parts from a gent in Alberta, Canada, who was selling his 1970 Lotus Seven Series 3.  He was the second owner and sold the car on ebay to a fellow in Spain for a hefty price! The 3rd owner declined the offer of spare parts, so I glommed on to them all.  Among the parts were a pair of stanchions from the first owner of the Seven, who had raced and hill climbed the car.  These stanchions are made of fairly thin plate steel, and are fitted with a small top plate to fit racing mirrors.  They follow the same shape as the aluminum stanchions. The original owner obviously found them suitable, and although slightly heavier than the ally type, they are well constructed, and designed for a 1970 Series 3 chassis frame (same as a Series 2).  I don't need them and if they would suit your requirements they are available.  They are really more suited for racing.  I also have a few brackets and metal chassis parts that are for sale. EW

Ed, I appreciate the reply and offer. Using a wood buck, torch for heating, and a hydraulic press, I managed to reform one of the right ones into a left one (see photo). I am curious about the other brackets and chassis parts you have, any photos?

Hi Vinman1.

 

I have compiled a short list of items available for sale, and can supply photos of same.  I don't want to take up to much room on this forum, so if anyone is interested, they can find my email contact address by searching either www.anglocanadianlotus7.ca, or by checking www.SimpleSevens.org and clicking on 'for sale', or clicking on the crossed Canadian and Union Jack flags icon on the start page of John D.s site.
