Looking for Lotus Seven S1 pics & info

[cs3tcr]

I'm thinking my next car is going to be a Seven S1 replica, so i'm trying to find as many pics and info as i can. I've done the Google searching and have found some good detail shots, but i'm trying to find any pictures of the brake master cylinders on the very very early cars (bottom hinged pedals not the usual top hinged pedals).

 

A friend has a later Series 1 which i've measured and have just about finished a chassis drawing for, but i'm still seeking more info.

 

Cheers,

Rod

Hi Rod,

 

Check out the Lotus Seven Register. There is a picture of the early pedal assy on the picture page. Unfortunately it's from the footwell so doesn't show the master cylinders: http://www.lotus7register.co.uk/ser1page.htm (I went ahead and lightened up the photo and posted it below)

 

You can also check out the SimpleSevens site. John D is updating the site at the moment, but he did have CD's for sale of the original site which contained a wealth of info on all Seven models. Here: http://www.simplesevens.org/

 

Good luck with the build and keep us updated.

Bruce,

Thanks for posting that pic, i do have it saved somewhere, but it got me thinking. Using it i can probably figure out the pedal spacing, from there i can sketch into my drawing where the masters are located.

 

I've got a blueprint of the Eleven S1 pedals, so i'm sure i can do some modfications to them to make them work. Along with the master cylinder mounts for the XI.

 

Now all i need to do is find some time.

 

Cheers,

Rod
