Thanks for all the suggestions. After looking at it this weekend, I was able to get the Westfield clutch cable to work. It is a very thick cable (.5" OD or so)...

Cool, My build is hopefully going to be done with my son. It looks like I'm going to be using an 88 Isuzu Impulse Turbo for a donor. It met all the criteria I...
I didn't mean to "dis" people who buy their frames. Prices change, but I think that had I the money all at once and given the prices that Steve was charging...
Bill, I cant help myself but I have to mention the poor mans porsche, In my opinion one of the nicest designs they have ever made cept for the speedster. I...
Has anyone ever mocked-up the Locost frame in wood. I've been thinking about ripping out a bunch of 1x1 stock and assembling a wooden model. Is it worth the...
Wife asked... figured I'd go to the experts... How do these locosts do in a crash? I figure that, since these are raced, someone's gotta have some stories...
Tubes bend. You cut them off, weld in new, put new skin on and get back to it. Got some pics of a seven with the back end damaged in a book here somewhere....
David, Why not just build a wooden model to scale? I was actually thinking about building my scuttle using an Ash wood frame covered in Aluminum.Also thinking...
Hello David- My Locost has been on the road for 3 years but I've been helping a local fellow who's just getting started and we wanted to try out a few new...
I have seen a thread and pics of one in England that was flipped in a ditch- totaled--but the guy was ok--ordered another frame/kit the next week.---Make sure...
... Thanks, Frank. Some wood might look nice on a Locost. I'll have to ponder that a bit. I'd figured on doing the dash in wood, if I ever get around to ...
... Wow! Bob, it sounds like you're getting a lot of good out of your wooden frame. I think I'll go ahead and make some plans for a mock-up of my own. As I...
Hey all, for any of you wanting a heater, there is a very usable piece at Princess auto. It's 7-1/4 square, three speed fan and has three doors that can be...
David, A reminder, check out the Locust in the UK. It is constructed of plywood (or Medite) and mounted on a ladder frame. Full scale patterns are available...
David I ripped the 1" sq. strips from a couple cedar 2x4's I had laying around. The cedar proved ideal as it's quite soft and doesn't warp and twist like a lot...
... Thanks, Dennis. This is news to me. I'll have to look into it. I may have seen the Locust before, but I'm so overwhelmed with on-line Locost information I...

Back in May I placed an order for all of the suspension parts (A- arms, shocks, bushings, etc.), and it took me through last month to talk them into shipping...
... Chris I could not find the heater on the web site, not under that part number. They did have a couple heaters but not the 7.25" sq., which would be the...
From what I have read about clubman type cars on the Sevens list they are quite good in protecting the passengers on a frontal collision. If you are hit from...
... Not sure if it's a reasonable comparison, but I read an article recently where the Smart car is rigid enough that, when in an accident with a much larger...
well I can not talk about how a seven would do in a crash as mine is not built, but I have built and raced a two seater terrapin based on one of Allan...
Hi Dave, not sure about online as I have enough trouble walking in there...LOL. So much stuff I had no idea I needed until I got there. The kids call it " dads...
For a heater fan, look for bilge pump blowers. They'll move an amazing amount of air and are light weight. They can also be found on eBay listed under...
