| More Stuff! This weekend, it was: replace right rear halfshaft transaxle seal; paint both rear brake calipers; and install new Magnecor wires. To insert the seal, I made a tool out of a length of exhaust pipe, a dual bearing race out of one of my Jags, and a brake cylinder, also from my Jag. Worked great! I also made a set of hardwood lifting blocks for both the front an rear of the Lotus..I added "locating pegs" so that these go to the correct place every time. The lifting force on the front is on the main beam weld seam, and the rear is on the very end of the frame where the lower link brackets attach to the tubes. |
