The Lotus Grand Tourers

Goodmorning everyone. I fixed it, put the fifth gear in and then with a good wrench and an extension tube the bolt counterclockwise unscrewed immediately, then the V-pulley came off effortlessly. Thank you

thanks everyone for the advice. however it is the V pulley that I have to extract to change the belt. for now the toothed pulley is fine there.

Thanks for the reply. It seems strange to me that if the engine turns clockwise, they put a bolt that unscrews counterclockwise. If it's as you say, I could lock the bolt with a good wrench and give the engine a starter blow, after disconnecting the ignition coil.

Good morning. A question for experts. I have a problem changing my Excel's timing belt. I need to disassemble the crankshaft pulley, but does the bolt unscrew clockwise or counterclockwise? If you also give me a tip to lock the engine to unscrew.Thank you

Thought I'd start this thread to record ongoing improvements to my new acquisition, the Silk Red MY92 Excel I collected last Friday When I viewed the car, I noticed the screws securing the drivers door latch were slightly loose. Over the weekend I thought I'd tighten them, result being that the doo...

Nice job - it will be good if we can see the gear knob when it is complete?

Cheers

Here it is, how is the result?
I made it without a carpenter.

3D printer PLA material with aluminum powder.

For now I have done this.

Sorry, can you tell me why 0/D is written instead of 5? Thanks, I will try to have it made by a carpenter and the part with the numbers with the 3D printer. We will see the success.
