Title: S2 frame bulkhead cutout correction.
Post by: dakazman on Thursday,August 15, 2019, 12:52:35 PM
S2 Frame Bulkhead correction.
 As I was going over the installation of the cooling tubes I found a helping hand pdf on what went where template. After installing the tubes and looking for something else to put together, Certified was installing his choke cable and I was making a stainless bracket for the cables. That’s when I noticed the pdf was incorrect. The two holes for the choke and heater were missing.

 So which be is choke / heater or heater / choke ? See pictures.

I will post a new pdf as soon as I get a few replies.

I can't help you with where to route the choke and heater cables but I would advise you to use grommets around your transfer tubes where they go through the frame. They'll likely bang around and possibly contribute to damage to the tubes and/or the frame.

edit: looking at it more closely, I think I would use the hold reserved for the vacuum hose (if not equipped and I don't know why you would need a vacuum hose going toward the front of the car).

Dave, the top two small holes are for the heater cable and choke cable. Put grommets in them first.

Certified, Yes , I read your post. That’s what got me going on the drawing. Those holes weren’t even on the print that was on lotuseuropa . Com. . I bent way down and there they were just as you said.
So choke left ,heater right. Hmmm I wonder if right hand drive it’s the opposite?

I'm pretty sure that on my car it's heater left, choke right. But I'm not home so I can't look :(
