I was looking at Monoposto's FF rules and one is that track width is something not allowed to change. However they allow wheel offset and wheel spacer freedom....
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. Track width can be considered a non-issue if you prepare your car in the same manner it was originally built. If you were to spend the...
When in doubt, read the directions. I hadn't looked at them for awhile but two of the Lotus cars books list both wheelbase and track widths. In case anyone...
The only Lotus FF that will be 'truly competitive' is a 69. Our suspension, being the final evolution of a Lotus 20, is seven or eight years old in design from...
Al, What particular sideplate do you need: with or without inboard brake mounts, Lotus or Brabham lug position? Got a photo of the other side or this side?...
John, I am looking for a side plate for a 1969 lotus type 61. You know the car I believe ;-). Left side, outboard brakes. Previous owner put the existing one...
Al, The Hewland side covers have to be heated to remove and replace, actually, it's the case needs heated to expand so the cover can be removed. I doubt you've...
Roger, The right side is stuck in the sense that the half shaft will not release from the crown wheel/pinion assembly within the diff. case. The spline end is...
Al, First thing you need is a Hewland Mk8/9 manual. If you don't have one I would recommend stopping what your doing until you get one. It's not terribly...
I've now run two race weekends with the Volvo/BMW drive donuts on my car and I have not had any problems with them whatsoeover. I continue to use 'axle...
Al, Karl is right if it is a mk6 box. They have ball bearing differential bearings and are shrunk into the side cover. You will need to add heat to the side...
Al, Do you have a digital camera that you can take some pictures on put in an email or file that we can take a look at? Gearbox issues like this are hard to...
Roger, As with Al, I'm not sure I completely understand your problem either. With the Rhino case is it a situation where the Mk9 side covers won't fit flush on...
Karl, The plates won't go into the Rhino case by about the last 1/4", but I have not tried any amount of force yet. I still might try heat on the case a...
Roger, I worked with Mk9 side covers on a Lola 342 and Mk9 Titan that I restored; both of which had inboard brakes. (Main difference between Mk8 and 9 was...
There is also an outstanding event at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway , formally New Hampshire Internationally Speedway, on May 16,17,18. The track runs a the...
Rob, Thanks for the info. Looks like both the Mosport and the Tremblant races are on the Monoposto schedule. We might have to join up and make a run at the...
Heillo, Thought that I would weigh in with some comments on East Coast Monoposto Racing, since I am a regular participant. Regarding Tremblant: The event is...
Top 'O The Morning, John, Let's see. Two race weekends on the Volvo donuts now. They don't show any signs of wear whatsoever. Absolutely nothing adverse to...
John, Kyle's comments on the costs associated with the Tremblant event are spot on. If you are looking for a more economical lodging I can try and track ...
Rob, I'm not sure if I totally understand the question, but if I do........ Here's a photo of the pedalbox bulkhead that I've reduced for the LFFR net. I'll...
*One of our "brothers" with a Lotus 61 formula Ford is in need of frame drawings or prints of the front frame area . . If anyone having prints or knowledge of...
Anyone running original wheels have trouble with the rear tires rubbing something on the suspension, probably the lower trailing link clevis. I seem to get it...
I have to run thin spacers on my 20/22 when I use the Avon FF tires, but the way I have it set now, they just clear. BUt I have 6" wobblies and no 6 bolt to...
