The Lotus Grand Tourers

To take the motor off the arm, you need to take the tension out of a big FO coiled spring. Easy enough if you clamp the arm in a vice, but don't just take the 3 imperial bolts out or you'll be down A&E.

Motor mounts to a plate with 3 bolts from the rear as already mentioned (imperial bolts). First removed the Motor and plate. The plate bolts direct to the door beam with 4 off M 6 bolts. Once these bolts are free, the glass will drop to any position you want (provided it's not jammed in the frame so...

That's snug. Looking forward to seeing on Friday. Lovely work Pete.

One more stat for those out there who don't know what your left leg is for :

I have a pair of the longer over axle pipes surplus to my needs. I'm not sure exactly which models had these longer pipes, but I can say for sure the MY89 with Grundy system DOESN'T - Hence why I don't need. They are stainless steel ( I painted with a heat resistant black paint) and the flange plate...

I'm arranging a meet with Richard Friday morning.
Thanks Stu.

Are you sure you're missing a white cable clip? There shouldn't be one where to you've circled in red if I recall. That's the pivot for the two levers.

I can do Friday, no problem. TBH, it's probably slightly better for me than Saturday. Not sure I understand the start of this, as I had a Saturday slot and it seams you were looking for a Friday ticket. Doesn't matter though. I can meet you somewhere Richard W to collect mugs.drop me a text and we c...

Obvious question, but if you're in the middle of a refurb, are your doors cards fitted. Without the inner card, there's nothing to reach the plunger.

Manifold booked for Friday and Saturday night.
