Hi Graham, I know my price ranges are out of most peoples budgets, but we are talking about top spec stuff that will last forever. The Avo's on my G33 lasted...

Paul Thanks for your reply. Sorry to hear your G33 has to go. What next I wonder? I run 2.5 degrees -ve on the back too. Doesn't help with getting off the...
Perry I believe rose joints are also known as rod ends. The spherical bearings I meant were the ones that are like a rose joint, but without the threaded...
If anyone wants part numbers I keep what I have found out so far under "parts bin" on www.g33.co.uk. If you want a free advert for the car I'll put it on the...
Keith I was looking again at the rod end stuff and realised I've implied the rod ends are made by RESB. They are not. RESB are just a supplier of a number of...

Johnny - as Keith says, a number of suspects! There is one spectacularly stupid bit of design in this system, which is that an all-steel cable is laid in a...

Graham, Regarding bonnet vents, I managed to get a pair of Cosworth vents. When you cut holes in the bonnet did you have to think about giving any extra...
Forgive me if this has been covered previously. The tyres on my G33 are coming up for renewal and the exact replacements are now unavailable. These are...
If you are going to start cutting holes in the bonnet cut the holes smaller than needed ( a series of drill holes, that can then be joined) , and use a flap...
Hi Simon Being a Cossie G33, my bonnet came with small holes already in roughly the right positions, but I opened them up to just a little less than the vent ...
Hi Paul Noticed my master cylinders have 0.70 cast into the side of them rather than 0.75. Not sure if the repair kit number you gave me will be right now. If...
Hi Graham You're ok; checked & mine are 0.70 too. Well done in Champ - with those results your car seems pretty well developed, you don't need mine! If it...

Hi Guys, The G33 front light lenses are one of two items :- 1. The smaller stubbier one is Renault 5 2. The longer slimmer one is late Lotus Elan (M100 ?) but...
Dear Forum People I can confirm the Lotus Elan sidelight/indicator assembly used on the Series 2 G33 is Lotus part number c100m0013f. Don't ask me how I know...
Mark, Where did you get those bonnet pins you have used to keep the bonnet from rubbing against the bulkhead ?? Mine seems to do this quite a bit, might even...
Duncan did say that the longer wishbones was only had a slight effect.I guess it simply reduces the amount of roll of the main chassis slightly I relation to...
Whilst taking care of my beloved G33, I treated her to some Hammerite Waxoyl last weekend. Whilst I got most of it done there was a little bit to finish so I...
