Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted January 15, 2022 Area Representative Share Posted January 15, 2022 Arch will provide a bare chassis to your specification as a faithful replica of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Stephen is correct.I've seen early chassis being 'remanufactured' at Arch in original battleship grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldAndrewE Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Is your existing chassis beyond repair? Also I note you have previously stated you are in Canada so getting the existing to Arch will be costly. As Stephen and Ian have said Arch will be able to make you a new chassis to original design although you may want to consider adding some additional members that were introduced later (notably the additional tubes providing additional support to the rear radius arm front mounting)Your chassis will have an Arch chassis number (not the Lotus number) stamped somewhere, probably on the upper rear damper mount platform. It will probably be in the form AM79 ****. They will possibly have records of the buildProbably worth giving them a call or sending an email. Their website is pretty basic but it does give contact detailsArch Motor & Manufacturing Co. Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
