Lotus Elite / Eclat / Excel

Isn't there a serious risk of giving water yet another route into the car? For the rare occasions (hopefully) I'll be struggling to access, I think I'll stay with the Lotus position. Tony A well fitted grommet should remove the risk i would have thought? Incidentally the other option ( as i found o...

As posted some time ago, the clutch (and brake) master cylinders can be better accessed if you drill a large hole in the fibreglass bulkhead
inmediately above the cylinders. This does not affect body strength.

Dave the cog.

Any chance of a picture of that mod Dave?

Nice to see y'all. Look out for me on youtube later.

She was unsuccessful, as grabbing her phone interrupted her concentration. I'll look forw...

Thanks to all who attended ( especially Stu :wink: :lol: ) for a couple of hours of 'anoraking'. Thanks Mark for popping up the photos.

I can only think of one suitable car park which is in the Village of Selborne. Is there anywhere that we could meet close to you Tony? Might be more convenient for others? Wherever we meet will have to be fairly early in the day as a lot of car parks fill up mid morning. Mark. Whereas outs is Selbo...

Anyone interested in meeting up in an open space during June or July? If so we can try to arrange a suitable venue. Not normally more than 6 of us so should be fine.
