  1. On my 85 turbo the boot floor section just unbolts, it may have had some sealant or foam tape at the lap joint, but just some M6 screws around the edge. Of course from there it goes all Lotus in that the wiring harness to the "box of mystery" does not have a connector to separate it from the car, so you just move it out of the way of what you're under there for.
  2. If the rocker is bad, some forum sleuthing will turn up links to a printed replacement.
  3. I don't know if the UK shares the US models switch, but if so those are noted for a little plastic rocker in the hazard switch that ages out and breaks. Not hard to disassemble with due care to old brittle plastic. Also most of the switches have copper contacts prone to corrosion.
  4. Thanks for taking the time to post over here!
  5. Wow, very nice. I was also thinking of a deeper pump housing, and dropping the PRV makes it look much simpler for those of us without distributers or charge cooler pumps. If you happen upon a deeper rotor/annulus set that fits the aux shaft let us all know. Is there a build thread for this project somewhere?
  6. It was cheaper than the Ferrari, although in hindsight I should of taken both.
  7. Imitation by an imitation is still some sort of flattery. Better to re-badge an MX-5 pseudo Elan than to do so with most other cars.
  8. Curious also what products people have had good luck with, I have one that's too small for carb bodies.
  9. Must be a fan of horror films? Hopefully not a family members blood
  10. When I added lamps on my G-car, I think I used some generic BA15 sockets. (#1157 bulb here in the USA). The mounting is a simple bayonet style.
  11. Interesting hoist on that gantry!
  12. When I received my car with ~60K miles, it already had a used primary shaft with sketchy splines in a box of take-off parts . I bored my crank for the larger bearing when I rebuilt the engine, and fitted the HD circlip, but I am not full of confidence in the under-spec transaxle, which also showed signs of the crown wheel coming adrift.
  13. MSD and Kinsler used to make tools, but I don't see them listed. Different injectors have different bores, but 14mm is common. Here's the same RMR-064 tool, listed for much less: https://www.racetronix.biz/p/tool-injector-drill-bit-domestic-14mm/tool-rmr-064
  14. There are countersink style drills available to form an injector pocket, but I just used a normal drill bit and finish honed it with a flap of sandpaper in a die grinder to a good surface finish and fit. My injectors seal at the bottom with O-rings, so it was just a matter of sizing the fuel rail to hold them in place with the lowest O-ring down in the bore, and the "cushion" ring resting on the manifold boss. I did the same when drilling the fuel rail, a bit of radius helps get the O-rings in place. One tool, although maybe not at the best price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203246043359?
