The Lotus Grand Tourers

However I don't have a Burroughs gauge, and they are no longer avaliable as far as I know, so I'm looking for an alternate way of setting the tension. They may not be available new, but often come up for sale on EBay etc. You’re most likely to find the generic BT-33-73f gauge. This is the same as t...

That one’s been knocking about for ages!!!

Who was the crane operator? Anyone we know?

We're still looking. Unfortunately there were 42 aircraft within running distance. We think they got clean away

Booked in at the Manifold for Friday and Saturday.

I guess in terms of distance from event, it’s more about where the runs will start from, if the same as the last couple of years.

There should be two holes in the undertray that line up with the two threaded studs sticking out from the bottom of the radiator. I can’t remember what other fixings there are - I think two more holes into captive nuts? I’m sure someone else will answer that part. I also think there were about 2-4 d...

On mine the otter switch is a tight fit in the rubber bung and expands it to make the seal when inserted. This rubber goes hard over time and will stop sealing. So ideally get a new rubber bung and your problem should, hopefully, be solved. Yeah - mine should be the same, but the fit isn't particul...

but..... I presume the active Excel never made it out of the captivity of Hethel. Bash I think at least 2 did. One was for sale when I bought my first one. It needed some restoration and was missing it’s brains. Another possible one came up for sale about 2 years ago. Fully restored, but converted ...
