John, Ive' got the same situation with my car. I haven't actually attached any aluminum panels yet, but there are two main contenders for method. One is to fit...
I decided to install every other rivet along the sides when I did the floor. I plan to drill or punch holes in the side panels where the existing rivets are,...
After reading my post, I realized it wasn't clear. "I plan to drill or punch holes in the side panels where the existing rivets are" These holes will be...
I Sikaflexed my floor and riveted everywhere but the sides - they were clamped until the adhesive cured. Then the sides were folded under, I drilled through...
... Yep. Hence me saying that I am going to rivet my floor well. Not only does your bonding have to be good, your primer and paint need to hold as well. The...
Instead of holes you could use a countersink or ball gind bit, then you wouldn't have the holes. Remember when one of the guys wife was tired of the snow and...
My girlfriend has decided that she would like to buy an early Lotus Elite. She is interested in either a decent project car or a completely restored example....
Tom, Yahoo has a Lotus 14 group, you may want to join it and inquire there. Esko ... From: Thomas Jordan To: locost_north_america@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
I think that envious note may have come from here in Wisconsin. It finally made 75 deg here and she is still complaining that the temp hasn't gotten up enough...
Years ago,when I was building an alum. airplane and needed to find holes in a lower panel so I could drill holes in an upper panel to the structure I took a...

I would like to thak everyone with there input on riviting the floor, won,t be doing for a bit but was one of those things on my mind, on another note I picked...

Hi George This the George from St Catherines, sorry deletted your email from before if you remember when I almost sold my car, between you and my daughter I...
Since the banter on this board has slowed a bit, I think now would be a good time to ask some questions. I've decided to resume work on my CMC kit after 2...
Hi Mark My boys and I are just starting our builds, we want to use the same doner cars, what are you using and why?. Were thinking of Corolla GTS's but a truck...
I used a stock 93-99 non si civic radiator to cool my 130whp se7en. I dare say it runs too cool,but I have a baffle that forces all incoming air though the...
If you haven't already purchased a radiator, it is hard to beat the Griffin Aluminum drag race radiators from Summit. The price was really good for a brand new...
Being a new guy on the block, Why second guess it? Call up the places like Griffin (not just the sales guy at Summit), Walker, Cooling Components, Cool as...
I'm new to the group, so forgive me if this is old hat for some of you. I am looking for *.dwg or *.dfx drawings of Miata rear hubs, axles and differential....
Why not just call Griffin? Because this is the Locost list. One of the reasons we have this list is to share with each other the leaast expensive solution to...

Just some more info- you can get the stock 5/8" plastic tanked Civic radiator on ebay for ~10, plus $40 shipping. The 2" thick, 2 core ones go for ~$35...
Hi All: I don't want to blow this thread up, but would like to detail my build approach just a little; Occasionally, I hear the word Locost used in such a way...
