A good friend of mine is the photographer for our local paper. He was looking for a small filler article. Here is the result.

That is very cool, Sandyman! I guess you're a local celebrity now!  :beerchug:

I hope your back survived the Lotus position!

The time is soon coming to put the body on the chassis. The one thing I can't remember is the routing of the throttle cable. Any input would be great.

Knowing that I did not have the tools and expertise I pulled the chassis to a local Land Rover/ British car expert. So technically he is the first to drive my car.

To Lahi and others. I can't recommend Auto sparks as a quality supplier of replacement wiring harnesses! All I am getting from them is advice to buy more parts from them to correct the deficiencies of their harness. The assembly errors to date are, incorrect ends on rear left tail light feed, missing ground grommets on at least 3 wires, no provision of wires to power the front left side lights and different light bulb bases for all the dash board lights.

If it's a replacement harness I'd expect a complete harness with all the correct ends. Just to replace the old without the need to replace the parts in the new harness.

What alternatives are there? There's Autosparks and also SJ, Banks, Kelvedon, British wiring and so on. Any more or anyone here with experience from any of them?

Strangely enough, I did a search and found some people with Elans that says that Autosparks harness is the best out there  :confused: But perhaps they got the Elan harness right and not the others.

You need to use parts from the old harness, if you are putting in a new Banks harness.

Plus the wiring diagram supplied is coloured, and not obvious with no letters to define the wire primary and trace colours.

Having said that, it is well made.

After many emails to Autosparks they are hopefully sending me the parts to finish the wiring harness. Fingers crossed. I need help with 2 other things. First, the  original carb was replaced with a Weber 32DIR37, in my fruitless search of the internet I have been unable to find an air cleaner. I don't know enough about Webers to know what will fit. Second, the car came to me without the throttle cable installed. How is it routed?
