This is a new problem. The tachometer doesn't fit. Checking the dimensions against the Pat Prince drawings, the lower horizontal tube is the right height, but the upper (curved) tube is 1/2" too low. |
Here's some progress: New master cylinders and 303 Stainless clevises. |
The heater is back together. It will probably be a while before I get up the nerve to cut the holes in the shelf. |
A new swirl pot from Alan Wesson at XtraSpecialSevens (No, I didn't cut the holes - the heater's just sitting there.) |
I've saved just about every "Lotus Seven engine compartment'" image I've come across on the internet, and every one seems to have a different throttle linkage setup. |
Even the three Series two engine compartment photos on the Lotus Seven Register pages show three different setups. I believe this to be a good approximation of the configuration shown in the Cosworth "dry sump" photo on the Lotus Seven Register site. |
Who would have guessed that the S.U.Carburettor company still exists and that they still sell the classic brass levers and throttle return springs? |
The fuel lines are -6 Aeroquip with stainless ferrules from McMaster-Carr. (McMaster's also sells the crimping tool.) Aeroquip security without the red and blue anodizing. |
