Hey Yasou it's good to see the pics

How's your daughter like the new car?

Hi Dave

Well, as you know she love the Elan but it took some time to agreed the insulance becase of her age ! (1.1K a year ), So it cost me a lot this year !
The last week was Espirt needed MOT (replaced rear dampers etc..)

Any way the car running fine and still cosmetic some issue !

Buy the way, Does any one useing "Snap off" steering ?


Y.Hotta

Looking good Yasou. Don't be afraid to drop in more often, you'll find we're generally more sophisticated and refined than the LEF crowd.

nice pics Yasuo
how did the wishbones go

cheers

Welcome to LEC and I hope you enjoy your Elan. I like the carbon Fibre inserts in the doors and that's an interesting steering wheel.

who's doing the flappy paddle conversion next then

Well, today started replace St. brakehoses and I noticed very badly rost rear wishbones , so end up with replacing the rear wishbones !
It's not hard work but take a time and thanks for theelanman !
the St. rear wishbones which I bought from theenlanman fit very nicely !

yasuo
dont forget to note where the front inboard cam bolts are positioned....
it saves hours of trying to line up you rear end tracking
cheers

steel blue maybe

Changed wishbones done !
also replaced brake pipe and the brake master cylinder !
Replaceing the Master cylinder was not easy job becase there are almost no space (need small hand) !


The color code Grey-blue ?
the Elan has been ownd by elan1 few years ago !

Next issue will be 4 new tires and the door seals......

Can u be more specific please?

And can i open the cluster and replace the original or do i need glue parts?

I'll find the lockwood site for you alter as Im at work at the mo....
however it is just a change out the dial back grounds.....
take out the gauges from the car....take off the existing fronts and replace with the white and replace.......
well that the simplified overview
they are about
£40 IIRC ......Paul P on here worked with lockwood to get them done
