Thanks for the response, John. It sure has me puzzled, but to be honest I'm not sure if the odometer got reset without my remembering. ...   05-10-2010 04:31 am

Sorry if I gave false hope, but I assumed they were SAE threads. Don't despair, good luck. ...   04-03-2010 10:37 pm

A quick look at Delta's catalogue didn't turn them up, but I'd bet they have them. They shouldn't be too exotic, possibly available from local ...   04-03-2010 04:09 pm

Looks real good! My daily driver is a late TR7 with EFI. I would love to have the same convenience, driveability, etc. etc. on my ...   03-04-2010 12:33 am

These snake oils have been around and around for many decades. I would be especially leary of anything named Lucas. Save your money and buy ...   11-28-2009 05:34 pm

Hello and welcome to the forum!    I am no expert, so can't be much help, but many here can help and will surely jump in ...   10-03-2009 05:58 pm

Well, I cut some dandy blanking gaskets and installed them next to the carb bodies, but I didn't have the heart to remove the diaphragms ...   09-13-2009 02:38 am

I have several brake issues, that I am putting off. I had hoped that a new booster would be the cure all, but disconnecting it ...   09-05-2009 04:29 am

Can't personally help out, but if member Jody Kerr checks in on this, he would know if anyone does. ...   06-25-2009 02:27 am

Very very nice. I really like the Lotus valve covers. Beautiful back drops, too. Thanks for sharing. ...   06-19-2009 02:43 am

I seem to be losing coolant somewhere. I suspect it is going away as vapor when the engine's good and warm. If I pressure test ...   06-15-2009 03:26 am

Good point, I remember having some difficulty with mine, but years of dealing with rewind starter springs held me in good stead. I would add ...   06-13-2009 03:07 am
