While i'm on Cad i thought i would model up some new guards.
I'm looking at doing something similar to the Caterham CSR with the small semi-wing part on top.
I'll make them from MDF for the plug, with the final guard being from Carbon Fibre.
Should make the car look real good :)
While i've got the carbon out I will do some rear guard protectors too.
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.

Making a new intake Plenum
Just modelled a new intake plenum in Autocad.
Getting it made at work from mild steel plate, and tig welded up.
Will end up getting it powder-coated in black at some stage.
I will be moving the Airflow meter to the front of the car for greater efficiency and will possibly duct cold air around the radiator to a small airbox in front of the motor.
It gives me the opportunity to add a supercharger at a later date
