What does your Lotus want for Christmas?...

[blasterdad]

Mine asked Santa for a new windshield & radius arms.
A dozen or so elves to work on it would help too!

     My Lotus only wants an engine, transmission, interior, pedal assembly, and cooling system.  May take a few Christmas's to get there!

Mine's up for a new center console from Banks Engineering, one of the vinyl trimmed ones that he does to replace the ABS one which has a few cracks around the edges now. (a bit like the owner I suppose....)

New, long lasting and effective O-rings for the carb bowl plugs.

[Bainford]

Mine has asked for a complete set of rear wheel bearings and axel u-joints. Perhaps some axel shims will find their way into the stocking as well.

Winter hibernation is now well under way. Looking forward to spring

A new cylinder head for Dellorto or Weber carbs. I think they are as rare as Santa's reindeer.

They both would fit nicely(carbs and a head) thru my chimney also...I will leave extra cookie's and as much milk you desire Santa. ld

Cheap really:

Dave is a great guy and his TC weber head conversion (which I think is really made by http://omnitech-engineering.com/) is really great (and so is his cassette water pump also for the TC), but he hasn't updated his web site in a long time. In fact, it looks like that page is from 1999! So it might be a bit more expensive now.

On the other hand, if you want a better TC head, you won't be able to do better than these. In this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL0kcA2shRk) he explains why his weber conversion is better than the original weber head because the inlet ports can be ported much more accurately.

Mine want a pair of Aluminum gas tank (custom made here in Bangkok), throttle cable and a set of oil pressure pipe, that would do for getting her back on the road again. Hope Richard sent them already

Me to get off of my duff and begin the restoration.  There is a huge sale at Harbor Freight on New Year's day and I'm going to buy the racing jack and another pair of dollies so I can stuff the Lotus in the back of the garage if I need space there to work on the MGB.  I had a friend point out to me that although the Europa as is has the extra radiator to accommodate the extra heat of the Mazda rotary, there isn't a suitable way for the from the extra radiator heat to vacate the nose area.  I don't like the idea of louvers...  Still another reason to move forward on restoring the car to its original Renault engine...  Has anyone here tried a block and tackle arrangement to pick the body up off of the frame?  Got pictures of the process?
