So last night I scared myself by searching on best ways to store windshields and read a few horror stories about damaged windshields.....actually woke up thinking about it. So today's Europa related project was to build a wall rack to store my new windshields out of harms way. They are stored vertically with exercise mat foam at all contact points, wrapped by an old comforter, wood protective bumper and also cardboard barrier to stop anything that could get air born. The curved side of the windshield fits between the wall studs so they are as close to the wall as possible and they are as high under a wall mounted shelf as I could get them and still get them in the rack.....

Very common! There must be some communication channel that alerts squirrels that a Europa is a great place to set up house!

I think the pivoting part of my pedals are rusted away... :-\ is there a drawing of them with dimensions so I can fab that part of them?

I know Serge did a video, I will have to rewatch it.

I was all set to point you to Lotus-Europa Central master documentation page (a GREAT source of information) but it's unavailable. I truly hope that this isn't a permanent situation. It a valuable site!

However, our own EuropaTC saved and categorized all the files from the old lotuseuropa yahoo group here (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uOmTsXhIF3qlutvCvmY8sAaliwc8Rwbj). Among those files is this page with drawings for fabricating your own pedal assy (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RE6xKmBQ1UNNfADyDYKkhPpZwlese3Oa).

Just a fun fact, the lotuseuropa yahoo group was completely migrated to a groups.io group (https://groups.io/g/LotusEuropa). It would be a good group to join (and several of us here are active over there as well).

Are passenger and drivers seats the same and can be installed on either side?
