Thanks for your advice

Now I have a Zetec engine I would like to shift my complete xflow exhaust system from my 1994 Supersprint.

This includes primaries, 4 into 1, silencer andheat shield

I have an English axle for sale, it is complete with diff but no drum or brake parts

Hopefully some one has some standard S3 seats tucked away, if so please let me know

Nick

I meant historic lotus register

Suggest you try Historic Lotus Club, I think Lotus owners are more likely to be there than here these days

Across top I have 75mm and other 2 are 90

No markings on motor , but this looks very similar but no idea of size

I don’t drive it upside down 

This is my S3, which is as built and original

Looking at your picture, the motor is correct , the holes are correct, and the fan is the right way round but your fan has too many blades. I would think the fan has been changed to improve air flow 

What engine have u got there?

Nick

I have a friend nearby with an S2 . I will ask him to respond. Personally i would put in what you can but leave it disconnected and put a new one the other side. If its not working pitch doesnt matter

Hi Volker

This is the same useless fan i have in my lotus S3

The good news is that it is also the same fan in my 95 Supersprint heater, so you may be able to source that from Redline or even caterham

I may have a seized one if you are out of luck. On my S3 I use the old fan and also a new one on the other side of the radiator and it keeps the car cool

Nick

Thanks guys

I cant get at tbe heads so its the angle grinder

I have a 95 Supersprint. I would like to remove the steering lock including the ignition tumbler. Unfortunately I cannot get to see how it is fixed other than 2 threaded somethings so I do not know the tool to remove as I cannot see the heads and my phone will not focus that close.

Help appreciated otherwise its an angle grinder

Does anyone know where I can get this done

Thanks

Yup, I have had this problem

Firstly make sure you have Redline MTL oil in your box, you can tell cos its red

Secondly renew the saddle, which the gear stick fork sits on

Lastly and the thing that sorted my box out was a new short shift stick which i bought from :

They will cut it to length for you

Has anyone experience of fitting a Hall sensor for a speedo, if so where is best place.

no bolts for me just Sikaflex holds them tight and avoids cracks

Yup hot sticky slicks, think the radius arms are ok but gearbox mounting is knackered. Can find a new UJ Flange but cant find a new Yoke Sleeve

The whole bracket/bush mounting broke away, I was doing a Sprint, luckily the most force is exerted under braking so i actually wasnt travelling too fast

I have had the A frame bracket detach from the rear axle under very hard braking at a hairpin on my 94 Supersprint. 

This resulted in the axle nose dropping down and thrashing the end of the propshaft on the ground distorting the UJ holes in yoke and journal.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a new yoke and journal ?

Thanks

Agreed, dont bother, otherwise you will spend the life of the car doing it

This will tell you the age of your engine
