Bolts, tubing, oil slinger, models of Lotus cars for sale.

[EdWills]

I am clearing out some items that I no longer need, so if anything seems useful, please contact me.

 

1) Lotus or Caterham rear licence plate bracket. Comes with the original Lotus shaped plate used on the bottom of the bracket for the plate light, or with the Caterham bracket to be mounted on top.  Both will require braze or fusion welding depending on your model.  Arch/Caterham has included a sheet of steel across the plate posts to reinforce the bracket.  It has been kept in a dry location, but the original brazing has caused fine surface rust.  Will hold a spare tire of up to 9 inches width or less.  (My original Lotus Seven frame allows for a width of up to 8 inches).  Offers plus postage.

 

1)a. Packet of 6 - 7/16" x 1" UNC threaded set screws (all thread) to attach the 2000E (2821E) gearbox to the Ford bell-housing (4 actually required leaving 2 spare).

 

2) Packet of 10 -  7/16" x 1" UNF Hex set screws (all thread) for seat belt attachments.  Stainless steel.  Westfield Fasteners U.K. Offers plus postage.

 

3). Packet of 2 -  7/16" x 2" UNF Hex set screws (all thread) for seat belt attachments.  Stainless steel. Westfield Fasteners U.K. Offers plus postage.

 

4). Burton Power (U.K.) part no. FP 281 - Petrol Pump blanking plate with oil deflector - brand new and unused.  Required when an electric pump is fitted to a Seven, to block off the opening in the right hand side of the block where the camshaft operated mechanical pump is normally fitted.  Will fit Ford 'Kent' blocks from 997c.c. up to 1700 c.c. models, pre-crossflow and Crossflow. Offers plus postage.

 

5). 2 of - Standard Triumph Spitfire/Herald steering rack tubes - left-hand drive.  These have been bead blasted and painted.  New rack end bearings.  No rack or pinion parts, just for spare in case original rack cover becomes bent or worn.  Offers plus postage.

 

6) 2 of radius arms - oversize tube at one end for a larger metallastic bush (not included), and threaded 1/2" UNF at the other end to take an adjustable (for length) rod end bearing (not included).  Professionally Tig welded. Useful if extra adjustment is required to square up the rear axle casing, or if a spherical bearing is also fitted to the diff.  Offers plus postage.

 

7).  Fuel tank filler neck and screw-on cap.  All aluminum.  Requires welding on to an ally tank (naturally using all necessary precautions regarding thorough cleaning of the tank to prevent an explosion).  This type has also been used on Lotus (ally) rear axles such as the Lotus 11 De-Dion.  2-1/4" outside diameter.  Offers plus postage.  SOLD.

 

8). 1/43 scale model of an original Lotus Elite - British Racing Green, made by Ixo. Offers plus postage. New, in unopened box.

 

9). 1/43 scale model of the Lotus Seven Series 2 'Prisoner' car.  BRG with yellow nose cone.  As new, in unopened 'bubble' package. Comes with free Lotus key fob.  Offers plus postage.

 

10). 1/43 scale early Lotus Seven Series 2 in BRG.  Front 'cycle' wings.  Made by Vitesse.  Plastic top cover is cracked, but model has not been removed from the (mirrored) base, so as new.  Offers plus postage.

 

11).  A selection of pre-cut and mitred 18 gauge mild steel tubes to fit a Seven type frame using triangulation as suggested by DSK in their technical bulletins (and as recommended by the SCCA many years ago on the original Lotus Seven).  Also includes a bridge plate to join the rack mounts together (with cut-out for bottom radiator hose connection).  Minor surface rust on some of the tubes and plate, but has been kept dry-stored with silica gel packages. FREE to anyone building/repairing a chassis frame plus shipping.  Will try to find the cheapest method of shipping, as of course the steel is not light. Local pick-up available.

 

12).  Shaped 18 gauge mild steel plate to fit between the steering rack mounts on a Seven to strengthen the frame in that location.  It has not been cut for any radiator hose or radiator connection.  It is longer than needed so that it can be cut to fit accurately.

 

13). A jig designed to assist with correct placement of a brake bias bar with a Lotus or Caterham clutch or brake pedal (clutch pedal provides better spacing of the pedals).  The holes are accurately spaced to correctly mount a bias bar tube on top of a Caterham or Lotus pedal.  (Note: It is also the correct width and height for the gearbox mount in the tunnel of a Seven).

 

14).  Pair of new/unused Lucas L691 rear lamps, red lens, double contact.  Can be used in conjunction with the Lucas L691 rear amber signal lamp, if the original Thorpe lamp is unobtainable for the Series 3.  It is wired for brake and rear light with ground contact.  Bulbs included.  SOLD.

 

All offers will be considered - big or small - with the best offer being chosen.  Thank you for your interest.  W.
