Many thanks Bill for those precious advices.
- OK for the hammer, I?ll have a look on ebay, Moss and classic part?s shops, is there a better brand ?
- Tyre pressure, these quotes seem very low, I wonder if the modern radial tyres like the Yokohama fitted on the car doesn?t need higher pressure
- The Webers, I?m very tempted to try to do it myself, but it be will more reasonable to find someone who does know. Just have to set the idle, according your explanation, I?m surely able to do it myself !
- For the fan, it appears that the earlier cars haven?t got electric fan but a mechanical one. My car (number 302) had probably an agitated life during those 42 years ! so currently there is an electric fan but no thermostatic switch. The best is I think to come back to a mechanical fan an to keep the electrical one for the heavy traffic jam
I?ll study the link you gave and probably a lot of other threads
Mark, Brian, you?re right in the few books about Lotus I read, it was often mentioned that the Sprite inspired the genius ! I?m sure the next time the Elan will open his eyes to charm the frogeye !
Sure girls don?t know the difference, it quite more true nowadays ... the frogeye is very efficient
Nice frogeye Brian with a pretty hard top
I manage the french sprite and Midget club, I do try to maintain the website up to date :
http://spridget.free.fr/Robbie, do you use these pressures with modern tyres ?
Thanks all, you're really friendly
to be continued !
