dash letters again :lol:

[jono]

Been done to death I know however has anyone started producing dash lettering kits for a Plus 2 S

I have managed to get all the lacquer off and as the veneer is very good condition I'm planning to re lacquer with a 2 pack.

Just need to work out how to the do the letters

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Jono,

How are you?

Paul Mallinson (on this list...pmallinson?) does these letters.

I think they were about ?20 + P&P.

Peter +2S 130/5

Ooops.

I of course meant PETER Mallinson.

(Apologies Peter)

Thanks Peter

I've emailed your namesake via the links posted by Gary to ask if he still has any lettering sets left (together with any any stainless quarter light channels ).

I'll see what comes of it.

Cheers for your replies.

Hi Jono,
I recently purchased a set of lettering from Peter and they are not the same. His lettering is very lightweight compared to the heaving lettering on my 1970 +2.
If you find anything I will be very interested; I have taken my dash back to the ply wood and will be re veneering it over the next two weeks.

where has the sense of adventure gone in the Lotus driver????just pull the switch and be surprised ---after 40 or 50 times you may remember what it does ---ed

You have forgotten the Dark Lord Lucas effect, which means that in fact nothing may happen. Remember, there are always n+1 options, or in the case of a lotus n+infinity options

Hi Jon,
Here is a photo of the lettering - You can see that the overall weighting of the lettering is much finer than the original +2s.

All in all they are a very good replacement for the originals.
