First run out in lotus since buying it, lots of interesting cars. Parked near a very nice mk 1 escort twin cam and saw at least 4 other Mk 1 lotus cortinas. Good day well worth a visit next time.

David - which car was your's - was it AEU?

Rick - I counted 6 MK1's + 1 replica.

Tim - NJD...E was there. What a cracking MK1. The new owner had a right result bagging that.

Rick: Saw on the forum that you were going kept a look out for you but didnt see you. What car was yours ?

Steve: Yes AEU is mine, purchased with the help of Rick from Holland a few weeks ago.

Anyone: Clutch bearing went on the way home, anyone know of any good suppliers for spares

I had a great day at Goodwood too. Met up with Dave Mudd, a LCR face from the late 70's and all other LCR members who were there! I first met Dave at Goodwood in 1983 at a Club Lotus Track Day. I took a few pics last Sundaybut I'm having trouble uploading them for some reason - something must have changed on the Photobucket site - or is it me? guidance welcome please Louis/Steve/anyone!!

What's not happening for you Graham?

Post by **Healeydavid** » Tue 7th Apr 2009 8:07 am

Keith thanks for your very kind offer I will e-mail you my address.

Whilst the gearbox is off it seems sensible to change clutch and presure plate as well as the bearing. I would like to have everthing before starting but been told there are two different types of pressure plate meaning two types of bearing. One plate has a metal ring the other does not.
Any help would be appreciated

David

One has a thrust collar/pad which mates to the earlier flat faced type of thrust bearing & another has just the clutch 'fingers' and uses the later bearing. I only have the early one so let me know if that is the clutch you end up with ie the one with the pad)

attempting to upload some pics of last Sunday!

Post by **Graham139** » Tue 7th Apr 2009 7:26 pm

Managed to upload pics of all seven cars at last!! I noted that there were no Mark 2's present last Sunday!! Replica YDL 825 belongs to Simon Sapstead. Simon built YDL from a two-door bodyshell and it's powered by a Caterham engine with a five speed box. He is off touring in France in it in the next few weeks.
