Last night a few friends came over for dinner and I brought them all into my garage to have them sit on the front of the chassis so I could bolt on the front anti-sway bar. Without weight on the front end bolting the bar to the lower shocks is impossible. Perfect fit with a couple of friends sitting and drinking while I was bolting things up
Next was to install large stainless steel washers against the outside rear rubber bushings on the lower shock strut. I took heed to Bruce's warning.
I've been thinking about the brake system and the modifications I'm making to it. One of the concerns was removing the Pressure Difference Warning Valve that was part of the brake booster system. I created another post regarding this subject to get some focused responses:
http://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?topic=2555.0 After making my decision on eliminating the PDWV I went about routing brake lines. Yeah, the OEM routing had much to be desired (in my opinion) and after running a trial location from the 4 way splitter to the left side connection for the swing arm I thought to myself, this makes no sense routing the brake line this way. I drilled a hole in the chassis, painted the bare metal, put a rubber grommet in the hole and ran the brake line on he inside of the chassis. There we go. Much nicer installation and better protection to the brake line but still accessible.
Small steps, but every movement forward counts.
