The quest continues for 3291R.  New clutch bits and bobs (pressure plate, throwout, driven plate, spirol pins for the axles..the rear mounts were replaced a couple years ago, so...leaving them be), spare seloc washers (a couple are STILL leaking on the valve cover...sigh), spare key blanks (I only have one set of keys...so, a spare set would be a Good Thing (tm), right?), air trunk and air filter, and bonnet stay rod clips.   

Planning the next order...which is the complete gasket set for the engine.  If the lump comes out (I'm leaning that way...) to do the clutch, might as well bite the wax tadpole and reseal the bad boy...do all the original hoses and gaskets all at once.  And that includes a new cam chain, tensioner spring, etc.   It only hurts once, right?

Actually went down to Ray's to pick up and talk lotus for a little while.  Was in the area, so figured I'd save on the shipping.
