Both uprights are in good condition and I have ordered new brass trunions, but I cannot work out which upright belongs on which side of the car. One Trunion has a left hand thread which goes into its brass trunion the other a right hand thread, Which is which? Seems a dumb question I know, so please make me feel worse!
Thanks.
It is clearly stated in the Lotus Elan S2 Workshop Manual? "Note:- The vertical link and bronze trunnion on the left-hand side of the vehicle has a left-hand thread and those fitted to the right-hand side of the vehicle have a right-hand thread. The right-hand threaded trunnion is turned down at its lower end for identification purposes"
