If you're ever inclined to fit the original lotus spec'd sizes (15"), search the old messages for some good posts. In the meantime, if you want to get going...
Just curious, has anyone ever tried 175/70-13s? Same diameter but slightly wider but much more choice as to brands and much more generally available and...
If you want to stick to the 13s, those little Kumhos pulled .93G on the skidpad, as did my Bridgestone S04s ($20.00 each, not much different from the Kumhos). ...
Len: If you think it is hard to find 13" tires try finding 145R X 14s which is what the Series I Westfield had on them. I searched on and off online for over a...
Don, We have just had a builder of the 'Series 2' XIs put 15" wheels and tires on his car on Jan's advise. Current XI specs are for MG Midget/Sprite hubs, so...
Back in the old days, Westfield fitted MGB 14" wire wheels and bolt on spline conversions (like the Spridget wire converters, but a longer design to fit the...
The Triumph Spit adapters are the ones with the short hubs. Midget hubs have the correct lenght to them, i know this for a fact, my car currently has Midget...
This has nothing to do with the fit of the adapter on the car. It has to do with the fit of the adapter to the WHEEL. The splined adapter on a Lotus 11, Lotus...
Not wanting to argue, but i have a set of Midget front hubs on the car at the moment and they work just fine with the 15" wheel. I also have one NOS Lotus...
I have a set of the bolt on sprite conversions. I have an original Elite/11/7 wheel. The converter is too short. Sure, the knockoff fits and screws on, but...
Congratulations to US owner/builder Joe Hill. He has just completed his XI with a 15" wheel package using the Dunlop Vintage Race Tires on Dayton 15" wheels...
Any pictures to post? hope so John (australia) ... _________________________________________________________________ All new Live Search at Live.com ...
If Joe says that it is ok, I can post the photos that he sent along. Even better if he shoots some new ones at his first show this weekend. Once you see the...
By all means...PLEASE let us see some pictures. Especially shots of the wheel/tire/suspension setup with the bonnet up or off. Off subject; I saw a Lotus...
The suspension setup is stock, using the standard Spridget knock offs. The wheels are 15X4.5 front, and 15X5 rear, laced to a sprite 13" wheel center. THE...
Hi Don: I put a few pictures of Greg's CMC XI in my folder under Mark's Eleven Build. Is this the one you saw? He was looking to sell it a few years ago. Mark...
For some reason I have not been recieving the message postings, So this morning I was reviewing the past weeks postings. There was reference to some...
Only one in the U.S. at the moment I think. Some of the 'Series I' cars recently sold have gone off to Europe, and Ross Robin's car went to Arizona. The...
To finish my engine, among other things, I need a new distributor. Has anyone had any experiences with Mallory Unilite distributors? It looks like the main...
Don't bother with the Mallory. Get a Pertronix Distributor, available with vacuum advance or without. The non vacuum type features a really good performance...
I'll second the Pertronix distributor. Everything fits under the distributor cap, and works as it is supposed to. ... available with vacuum advance ... advance...
I have an 11 that I purchased new in 1985, and have considered selling it because I just don't have the time to drive it anymore. If you are interested, let me...
A member of the group pointed out to me that the photo of my ex-car has been on teh group webpage for a very long time. How about a new photo? I've set-up an...
A few years ago, I submitted a beautiful photo of a car on a golf course as part of a article package to a well known magazine. I had had hundreds of photos...
... That's what the course marshals told me every time I parked mine backwards on the outside of turn 2. They also said something about how going backwards...
