Are you hoping to get all those used or would you like sources for those parts? Also do you have fabricating skills or access to such skills?
-
I would like to get used whatever I can. Between RD and Europa Engineering in UK I can source most of what I need. I own a machine shop so fabricating items is not a problem. It's possible to copy an item if I have at least one.

The reason I asked those questions is I didn't know if you were having trouble finding those parts. Thankfully, almost all of them are either still available or there are reproductions or substitutions available.
I don't want to steer you to or away any particular supplier. They all are good in my experience. I would note that the pedal assy. is pretty simple and there are drawings for it here (https://groups.io/g/LotusEuropa/filessearch?p=name%2C%2C%2C20%2C1%2C0%2C0&q=pedal) in case you feel like making your own (which might include improvements you might think of).
There is a list of suppliers that you might find interesting (https://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?topic=1389.0)
And finally, I am fond of saying that this page should be bookmarked by every Europa owner (http://lotus-europa.com/manuals/) as it has searchable online manuals, technical information and plans for various popular mods.
I hope that helps!

I have many of those parts. Let me see what I can find at my storage this weekend.

Thanks BDA, I have brake-Clutch assemblies. Need the throttles. These are my 4th and 5th Europa's so i have a pretty good library. Number 3 was 30 years ago so memory needs refreshing on some parts.
s2europa, did I see you were looking for a Steering Column somewhere? I have an early one (right side switch is Dip and Main headlight control). I need a later one.
