I reinstalled seat belts in my S4. It would have been easier if I hadn’t glued carpet over the attachment points…
Now its on to cleaning 40+ years of dust from the seats, removing rust and painting the front seat bars, and installing the new seat tracks - cutting away carpet to get solid attachments.
Lots more left to do but I’m making progress!
I began the machining operations to take a Cosworth BDP block and add the features required to use the Lotus twincam head on it, for my all aluminum 2.0 L Lotus Twincam.

Ah well - lovely but not so pretty…and the colour…ooooff!!.
Designed, manufactured & installed a Column mounted Steering lock bracket:
Tired of the column twisting out of position. ![]()
Right in the centre of the photo are there a couple of wires between the column and your new bracket? Just wondering if you might get some chafing there, it looks quite tight. Looks very neat though.
Interesting. Deserving of its own thread so I for one can marvel.
I cleaned my Lotus by myself with the help of a cleaning towels !!
I take it you have no taste…
Mark,
Not much!! Note the black bumpers…! I have a chum who has an Elise that in top gear accelerates from 90mph to 140mph in 2 1/2 seconds! Basically undrivable as the traction control and electronics have difficulty reining it in! It has a data logger for accuracy and somewhere around 550 bhp at the wheels. Good grief…
Bought a plate and put a proper flag on it, got rid of those bloody awful stars… Cant think of that counties name ![]()
Oh my.
Superb Rob, just superb! And you did it so quickly too!

In my defense I have rebuilt a S2 and a S3. I also worked on my Sprint and a friends 7 and Elite as well as holding down a full time job ![]()
That Elite defines Beauty… One day.… ![]()
Thank you.
It has battered my bank balance.
Lovely, Rob!
Wow, the Elite looks great Rob. Thanks for the photo.
Bob
Rob, its looks amazing and the colour suits the Lines perfectly, I’m very envious
Cheers
Vaughan
