Only if you swap out lower engine castings (which requires unbolting the main bearings -- bearing caps are bolted through the lower casting). Rather than do that, Farrar will leave the 3.0 lower...
Only part of the ignition distributor that is made of aluminum is the body itself. Everything else is steel: shaft, mounting plate for the magnetic windings, reluctor, centrifugal weights, etc.

Dunno -- somebody with 3D printing skills might be able to scan your prototype and crank them out. Highly reflective finish would be difficult to duplicate with paint, but traditional silvers or...
Did you try the stock diffuser? I didn't like the way it looked with the adjacent lenses, but others might feel differently.
Parabolic reflector can be emulated with a piece of curvable plastic...
I wonder if suitable material (red, waffle pattern, diffusion) is available somewhere so ready cut pieces could be provided for owners to drop in their own taillight housings? Like you I made my own...
If Lotus used the door lock solenoid as the ground point that would explain why both my cars have electrically neutral doors -- I've removed solenoids from both (I just lock the doors like a pickup...
That wire grounds the hood and fenders (assuming jumper wires between them are still intact). From the factory it passes underneath the windshield to one of the dash pad mounting studs (electrically...
Clarification: if you lay a bare wire of any sort -- positive or negative -- against the car body, absolutely nothing happens. The fiberglass underbody, including integrated dash superstructure, is...
Exactly what part of "non-conductive" isn't clear?
The entire car body is non-conductive. That is why the nice people at Lotus ran ground wires everywhere. If you lay a bare positive wire against...
Just so everyone is clear: if you fill an electric motor full of water, it is by definition full of water. Doesn't matter whether the lead is positive and the chassis is negative or vice versa --...
Is it possible your personal prejudices are interfering with technical discussion?

Everybody running around with their hands in the air does realize that a traditional steering wheel with integrated horn is positively charged all the time? (Not the non-conductive ring you hold...
This whole tempest in a teapot is nothing more than a controversy in search of a crisis. There is no difference between touching a positive lead to a negatively grounded frame and touching a negative...
Um, negative *IS* electrified. In fact that is the source of DC flow -- current flows from negative to positive (Ben Franklin got it backwards).
In the late 40's/early 50's some car companies...
Just put the socket in your tool box. You will find plenty of other uses for it. Those 8mm square plugs are all over the engine: water jacket drain plugs, TDC indexing plug, etc.

Exactly what does Robert think happens if you touch a power wire to a negative ground housing?
Tomato tomato....

Evaporator box is made of plastic -- non conductive (just like the car itself...).
Plastic evaporator box mounted to a fiberglass dashboard -- I'm good.

I have two complete OEM shafts swapped out for Borgeson units -- what is their used market value?

Houston is showing OEM U Joints as NLA. At this time Borgeson appears to be the go to stateside option (Houston, Toby, and Josh all sell Borgeson units). At one time Martin Gutkowski was offering a...
Gil will also tell you what Houston is ordering. The man has no secrets.

DC motors are super easy to reverse direction -- just swap positive and negative leads and the motor spins the other way. That's how you move an electric winch in and out for example.

I paid $16.99 for my blower motor (lifetime warranty): http://www.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/a-c-heater-blower-motor/vdo-a-c-heater-blower-motor/141598_0_6648_5281/

That means your car is abnormal too.

With the exception of the upper wishbones (which hardly ever wear out) my entire front end is brand new, thank you very much -- I'm not masking anything.
