I have what appears to be two identical bobbins on the input shaft: http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/lffr/photos/view/48f9?b=1 Is this normal? The BAT...
Does anybody know this car: 61/FF/99? It just came up on race-cars.com, and says its out of the Northwest. Here's the listing URL if you want to take a look: ...
Carl, Paul Hoey is the seller. Paul was one of SOVREN's fastest FF drivers. Paul owns a body shop and is a top restorer of special interest cars. His Lotus 61...
Thanks for the information Al, Looking at the listing the car is certainly immaculate. I was curious about that 'over the top' exhaust and how he routes it...
Well, It looks like there's an easy explanation. I guess Lotus's have a wider adapter (3 1/4") than other FF's, and thus require a 2 1/2" bobbin to accomodate...
We have a Web Transaxle in the FF. I cannot find the drain plug to change oil. Please, dont tell me I need to remove it and stand on its end. Thanks, Brent ...
Carl I noticed on the rebuild pictures that your 61 has a separate front nose, most of the 61 I've seen pictures of it is all one piece, the cowl and nose are...
With both the rear cover and bearing carrier loosened or removed, the majority of the fluid will drain. In the past I have elevated the front wheels slightly...
Mike, Just getting caught up on emails after a fishing trip. Yea, I know....... Lifes tough! But somebody's gotta do it!! As for the two piece nose. I've seen...
Hi All: I just got off the phone reserving a hotel room at the Silvertree Hotel (LOG 27 headquarters) for LOG 27. I'd suggest you contact them soon as rooms...
... know....... Lifes tough! But somebody's gotta do it!! ... I didn't see any pictures in you post. It must be me or the computer system. Is it possible to...
John, I don't know why you didn't receive the photo I attached, it came through on my system. I'm outta' here in a couple hours for Thunder Hill, but send me...
well that worked out good, that mold has been sitting around for I can't imagine how long, I have looked at it a few times and saw the ruff texture of the...
Mike, I'm just about 'out the door' for the HSR-West race at Thunder Hill this weekend. Come on up if you have the opportunity. (As I tell people... north on...
John, When we were up at Hallett you had mentioned the name of the replacement universal joint on the shift linkage for the 61. Could you please refresh my...
Steve, Take a look at this photo: http://race-cars.com/lffr/regphoto/61ff28.jpg I try to run the front tubes of the lower front a-arms level, the drive shafts...
John, With my driveshafts level my donuts have no angle in them between the input and output surfaces, but they are stretched quite a bit to meet the two...
Install spacers, washers, etc, as required on each side of the donuts and yokes so they are straight. Other than that it sounds like you've done a good job. ...
Poll - who runs spacers behind their donut yokes to release the side to side stretch? I've looked at a lot of 51/61 photos and a handful of cars, but only seen...
Here is a photo of one of my donuts, axle (mostly out of sight under frame), axle saver, and following the pretty red lines you arrive at...... SPACERS! Lots...
Just a thought from out in left field, what about shortening the length of the lower 'A' arm and top camber link? How for out of the arm does the rod end sit? ...
Rob, That could feasibly work, but..... Even with my axle savers I've still got close to 1/2" of spacing. Yea, you could lengthen/shorten the rod ends on the...
