Thank you very much, I will tell him to send me photos of the car and I'll send him the information you gave me. Regards, David.

I am David from Spain, one of my friends have an old Seven, he doesn't know if it is a real Lotus Seven or a replica. He told me the chassis number is BL 1631 R, do any of you know this chassis number could be from a real Lotus Seven?. Thank you very much and merry Christmas.

Thank you very much Jonathan, it's all what I needed!!.

I already bought the brake pads, I was reading the part 5 of Get To Know Your 7 about changing the brake pads. Last weekend I changed the front ones, but the part 5 of GTKY7 doesn´t explain how to change the rear pads, where the hand brake is also fixed, they only explain how to check the wear on the pads. Must I remove the caliper to change the pads??, how to remove the pads, I don't see pad retaining pins as the front calipers??, any consideration about the rear brake adjust??. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much I will start looking for them. Regards.

I don't know if they are Girling and Ford, I posted photos of them. Thank you, regards.

I don't know if they are Girling and Ford, I send photos of them. This is the front caliper: And this is the rear caliper:

I am David from the south of Spain. I have a 2003 Caterham 1.6 k Roadsport EU3. I would like to change the brake pads. Do you know if the Caterham brake pads are being used by any other British car??, I can find in Spain MG, Triumph and any other British cars spares but nor Caterham. The last orders I made to UK I paid import taxes plus customs charges and it made the bill to grow much more. I only drive in road not track or race. Thank you, regards, David.

Hello, I live in the south of Spain, I have a 2003 1.6 K Roadsport EU3. I use it for road drive only, but always in mountain curved roads. In the last time I feel it not as balanced as before and the dampers use to be ok and with no leaks. I think they never checked in the car the wheel alignment. I think it's time to do it. Which camber/caster and toe in/toe out must be the right one for drive it in curved roads but not track??, must I check it without driver or must I check it with driver inside (or equivalent weight)??, ¿¿any more advise??. Thank you, regards, David.

I wrote two weeks ago to the address bruce@archmotor.co.uk and info@archmotor.co.uk, and I had no answer. My spoken English is not good enough to have a fluent phone conversation about technical things, this is why I prefer to write them than to call them. Do you know if the company Arch Motors is open??. Regards, David.

Thank you very much Stephen, I was reading articles in the archive, but I didn't find John Watson's one, it's really interesting.

Thank you very much for the contact details of Bruce Robinson, I will write him right now.

I am in Spain and in the process of restoration my Lotus Seven S4 I discovered the car had a front crash in the past and the front box section was repaired not very good, do you know if it's being sold anywhere the front box section??, if not I will need to do a hard repairing job. The full chassis except the front box section is perfect and I cannot consider a full chassis replacing by the cost of a new chassis and the transport to Spain. Regards from the south of Spain, David.

Thank you for all the advices, really appreciated. I'm very happy, I found a club member who accepted the proposition, so the Caterham will be in good hands for the clutch surgery. Thank you again.
