The Lotus Grand Tourers

OK so......Next week I'm gonna get intouch with the suggested Springcoil in Sheffield
And I'm gonna go with LotusEClans suggestion......
0.7 off the length and 5% increase.......
Or at least ask em and see what they say
Anyone know the wire size and the overall coil diameter?
Thanks

Trying to get info and pics from the owner is like pulling teeth........ The car is up near Carlise and a long way to travel......I've asked several questions and got little more than a one word answer...... Doesn't inspire me to take an 8 hr round trip to have a look........ I'm not saying anything...

found one

does this help?.....

anyone able to add the dimensions to these sketches? https://s3.amazonaws.com/tlf/tlf/forums/aws_uploads/monthly_2020_07/1184189486_SteeringWheelSetoutDish.jpg.64a40064822e7848bed3040876ac1bd6.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/tlf/tlf/forums/aws_uploads/monthly_2020_07/395413936_SteeringWheelSetoutHoles....

Anyone got the steering wheel dimension for the horizontal cross member........and the offset for the steering boss/column.....

I think there are 2 fixing holes to each end too.......dims to those would be good.....

thanks

Keeping everything as it was......
Same dash and steering wheel diameter ......

I have looked and looked for another option for Elite Steering wheels Basically there seem to be non......personally I think the available replacements look too modern I love the original 2 spoke (Im only doing this as mine is knackered and now doesn't fit with my bright shiny new interior) to this ...

Mine has been confirmed as Lagoon Blue....
as in line with that marked on the vin plate L12

L12 Lagoon Blue......
Was the requested colour......and yes Z11 was the colour he told me it was today.....a colour from 1982......

can anyone help with the shade and names of the blues used on the S1 Elite......and the paint codes if possible please

I think the shop have painted it in the wrong colour
Lotus Blue Z11.......

Richard....
that'd be wonderful if you get chance
Thanks in advance

Mmmmmm.......
So coilovers......dampers where the sprung height can be modified and preloaded......so maintaining the same spring rate....?????

Sorry......ignore me.......im talking rubbish......longer spring lighter load.......

So just looking at that....... For example...... As mine is a std car without a/c.....I could almost take the std springs out and swap them for standard a/c rated springs............ I could then get a couple of rear springs made.......for the rear........at 145lb per sq in and 14.25in long........ ...

Did you happen to note the standard lengths?
