    Loving retriement. The house addition is about wrapped up so I have a life again. I got Penelope out for her first mountain drive and some muscle exerise. It felt great!
    Bow its time to do the things that have been neglected trhe past two years. Install the voltage stabilizer and replace the fuel gauge sending unit. Anybody know what to use as a replacement? I know the original is not avaialble any longer???

    Status, Alive and well living between NJ and Pa. Penelope is good and the virus sure limited days behind the wheel. Ran a LotusPALS event in the Pennsylvania Wild in October with Ca buff and another club member. Much fun was had by all.

    Hi,

    If that engine has the timing gears that are half-moon instead of the square-cut teeth, I'd be interested in buying the crankshaft gear.

    Thanks,
    Rich

    BTW, don't let any glass guy talk you into bonding the windshield directly to the car. I have heard stories of new windshields cracking the first time a good bump is hit if it is direct bonded. Discuss with others in Esprit group here to get ALL the best tips for installing it correctly. I am sure everyone will have lots of good suggestions.

    The three Spal fans were purchased on eBay for $30 each. The support structure is made from 1/8" by 1" aluminum bar stock, about 48" is enough material, and 1" steel spacers from the hardware store. The fans are controlled by a Derale controller which I got from Summit. The power connection to the engine cover is a two lead weatherpack connector. Total cost was about $160 for materials. If you need more details send me an email at mieczkowski@tampabay.rr.com or give me a call at 727 452 5153.
