It was a little difficult and I had to have the throttle cable point sticking up out of it due to clearance issues, but it now cleans up the whole engine bay.
The finish will match my intake, a nice dull polished look.
Welcome to my Lotus 7 Replica Blog
I intend to use this blog to show the various stages as I rebuild an old Lotus 7 replica from a bit of a mess to something respectable.
Along the way i'll detail the procedures required and hopefully inspire others to do similar.

Pedal box cover
I decided to build a cover for my pedal box from 1.6mm aluminium.
It was a little difficult and I had to have the throttle cable point sticking up out of it due to clearance issues, but it now cleans up the whole engine bay.
The finish will match my intake, a nice dull polished look.

New intake
I originally made a MS intake plenum, but after closer inspection I decided to redesign it out of aluminium.
It is now a lot lighter and a lot better looking, with better airflow to the rear cylinders.
It still needs plumbing in, and now I can start on the new airbox which will sit behind the radiatior but will get fresh air from over the top. Radiator will be changed for an aluminium one when I can afford it :)
