Lotus Elan Chassis Mod to allow Diff to come out left side

PostPost by: tvacc » Tue Apr 04, 2006 2:00 am

My email is down and not sending...so I will post this to the group
site..

Ok....Found the Photos of the Chassis Mod.

Have posted them here:

20Mod.htm

if this gets truncated...

Go to www.lotusowners.com
Then to the Repairs/Upgrades link...
Then choose the top left link.

Remember...this was a brand new galvanized chassis that I bought
from John Ambler and that he bought from Lotus....circa 1988-1990

Tony,

Maybe it's the bad lighting but at first sight it looks like the left
hand side would foul diff removal even more than the right! I have
some more shots somewhere. I'll try and dig them out.

Tough to make a comparison with all the rust. This is what worked on my
Chassis. It was a long time ago and I no longer have the car.
