WHICH SOLID DRIVESHAFT CONVERSION? : DRIVE TRAIN / GEARBOX Hi Guys. Check this one out to, this conversion has been installed into numerous lotus elan's around the globe. They look exactly like the MM shafts. The only real difference is probably the CV joint manufacturer - GKN vs VW. Location: Aldridge, West Midlands, UK. REAR ANTI-ROLL BAR? : SUSPENSION / STEERING / BRAKES That is probably why you are noticing more roll in corners. Spyder offers larger front bars, as does TT as mentioned by Gary. Although, in theory, with the higher cornering limits allowed by modern tires would suggest larger front anti-roll bars and a small rear anti-roll bar, many people seem to live without a rear one.

STROMBERG RUNNING VERY RICH : FUEL SYSTEM / CARBS BY Hold the piston up to the light and compare the width of the gauge with where the needle shoulder is, then re-position the needle downwards by the gauge width. If the shoulder is hidden then it's more tricky. Just try and get the needles down by visually comparing the change against the gauge.

ANTI ROLL BAR DIAMETER : BODY / CHASSIS / FRAME BY My S2 has a 5/8” bar as well and this is the stock diameter, I think. I also think that the 5/8 and 11/16 ARB bushings are interchangeable - perhaps you got a bushing for a 3/4” diameter bar (which was standard on the Plus 2 I believe)?

STROMBERG RUNNING VERY RICH : FUEL SYSTEM / CARBS BY Hold the piston up to the light and compare the width of the gauge with where the needle shoulder is, then re-position the needle downwards by the gauge width. If the shoulder is hidden then it's more tricky. Just try and get the needles down by visually comparing the change against the gauge. WHICH SOLID DRIVESHAFT CONVERSION? : DRIVE TRAIN / GEARBOX Hi Guys. Check this one out to, this conversion has been installed into numerous lotus elan's around the globe. They look exactly like the MM shafts. The only real difference is probably the CV joint manufacturer - GKN vs VW. Location: Aldridge, West Midlands, UK. REAR ANTI-ROLL BAR? : SUSPENSION / STEERING / BRAKES That is probably why you are noticing more roll in corners. Spyder offers larger front bars, as does TT as mentioned by Gary. Although, in theory, with the higher cornering limits allowed by modern tires would suggest larger front anti-roll bars and a small rear anti-roll bar, many people seem to live without a rear one.

Torquing Technical - Lotus 1558cc Twin Cam Rebuild. Martin Lucas. The Lotus 1558 Twin Cam engine was fitted to many Lotus, and non Lotus cars. The engine was phased out in approximately 1975. Unfortunately these engines are no longer in their prime, and being of a "sporting" configuration most have not led a sedate life. REAR BRAKE CALIPER CASTING NUMBER : SUSPENSION / STEERING Elan45 wrote:The Climax powered Elite originally used the aluminum AR and NR calipers, but I believe late in a cost cutting move changed to iron calipers, which were later used on the Elan.And the Elite had inboard rear brakes with fixed length half shafts. Perhaps this is how it came to be. I can't remember whether the Elite had the rear calipers mounted in front of the halfshafts or behind. ANTI ROLL BAR DIAMETER : BODY / CHASSIS / FRAME BY My S2 has a 5/8” bar as well and this is the stock diameter, I think. I also think that the 5/8 and 11/16 ARB bushings are interchangeable - perhaps you got a bushing for a 3/4” diameter bar (which was standard on the Plus 2 I believe)? Could be wrong on all of this. -Ben. 1965 S2 26/4623. TWIN CAM VALVE CLEARANCES : ENGINE / EXHAUST / COOLING BY Vanden Perre. Yes, that's a good link. The only thing I can add is the the manual quotes a single clearance for inlet as 0.005 to 0.007, but for exhaust the clearance is 0.006 to 0.008 up to engine number 9951, and 0.009 to 0.011 for later engines. Miles Wilkins mentions this difference in the section about Engine Assembly, but only quotes the THROTTLE CABLE : FUEL SYSTEM / CARBS BY LOTUSELAN.NET The throttle cable on my 1968 +2 (UK drive) has gone loose from the pedal. On inspection it appears the spring at the other end of the cable (by the carburetors) is dead and the small piece of brass (sorry don't know the name.) holding the gainter in place is shattered. When I pull the cable (the play is about 6-7cm) just before it goes*
