Title: Misc. parts questions
Post by: jpane on Tuesday,January 19, 2021, 12:50:13 PM

1.  I don't remember (and the various Lotus manuals don't help) where the coil bracket mounts for a Federal Twin Cam Special (4158R). Could someone send a picture, or a diagram reference.

2.  In response to my post looking for a Reverse Detent Housing, TurboFource sent me a link to a picture, with dimension, of the housing.

The bolt shown does not have dimensions. I believe it is 10/32, but do not know the length. I have a used housing coming from Lotus Supplies, and can measure after that arrive, but wanted to get a head start.

Thank, as always, John

The coil is attached to the fiberglass on the outside of the frame in front of right fuel tank (see attached picture).

Sorry I can't help you with the length of the screws.
