Does anyone have a recommendation for tools to set camber and toe? I was looking at SmartCamber (http://www.smartracingproducts.com/alignment.htm) but am...
Don, The simplest way is to make a set of alignment bars. Here are photo's of the ones I made for my '61. The rear bar attaches to the gearbox. The front bar...
Darn, I would make life easier for myself if I proof read what I've written. If you have to shim up parts of the car (as in my case, raising the front tires to...
For some reason I always trip over the strings, or they get in the way and then I have to set up the string box all over again. The bars on the frame might be...
Happy New Year John, Did you get your car running? Hope everything turned out OK!! Regarding brake fluid, I highly recommend using Castrol GTLMA. Whatever you...

Anyone have any specs on the Firestone F100's that were originally shipped with the Lotus 61's. The sales lit lists 185/13 and 165/13, but nothing on which...
John, I don't understand something.... The "cast iron Dunlops" are the only Monoposto approved tires. Are you looking to put a non-approved tire on your car?...
I have an original F100, 145-13, that came w/ my first Elan, that is still the spare in it's boot. It is definately a 78 or 80 profile tire. I don't remember...
Carl, I can't believe the Avons are any cheaper than the Dunlops. Several of us in FJr in the heartland of SVRA run them because we mostly are on track w/...
John, Is RMVR going through an approved tire debate? Rob ... From: lffr@yahoogroups.com [mailto:lffr@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of lffr61ff28 Sent: Tuesday,...
Carl, You are correct that the Dunlops are the Spec tire for Monoposto. RMVR, my home club, is not Monoposto affiated, though the Dunlops are the spec tire for...
I tried to dig for this some time ago, surprised I couldn't locate more historical info on Firestone tires. But, based on that work and the period technology...
*I need a set of Dunlops for my Lotus 51 RIGHT NOW! I'd like to know what sources you guys are using to buy Dunlop ff tires. I only know of the one source...

I've bought from Sasco, not sure if there are others but it's a great company. I wanted a non-FF set in original sizes and by golly they had them. Even if the...
Our 'west coast' source is Roger Kraus Tires in Castro Valley, CA. We're kinda screwed by being stuck with only one Monoposto approved tire. John and I...
Tony, There are only two Dunlop dealers in the US; SASCO on the East Coast and Kraus on the West Coast. Last time I checked they were within a couple of $$$$...
I have read the tire thread with some interest and would like to add a couple of comments to the fray. First, remember that the original specification for FF...
Mike You Might try Pete at Tire Source in Boulder. 303-443-4021 We get all our tires for our Shelby from him He supplies Goodyears to the vintage guys in...
Hi All, John put out an email the other day for information about tires to fit a Lotus formula Ford. I questioned what he was searching for so he called last...
I was looking over the Spielburg book on the 69 trying to see period pictures of FF's tires. From these photos the tires were really tall looking, it has to be...
Just wanted to say hello to the group and hope to meet some of you in the 2006 season. My partners and I will be running a 68 Lotus type 61 which we just...
