The number is actually stamped into the frame, under the right front lever shock, You may have a lot of grime covering it and it is painted. The VIN plate we are all refeering to is a metal tag attached to the frame rail on the driver side. As for

I put mine in one of those carburetor cleaner solution cans and they cleaned up nicely. A parts cleaner would do the same. Then took a tooth brush to it. I want to think those rods are aluminum and not steel Mark

It's a kit car anyway, but I don't know much about them... I know there was a Ranger kit car in Ontario a few years ago, is this it?

I've been told that even the standard 3-leg puller that bolts to the studs is apt to distort and ruin the hub. When the time comes, I plan to either build my own replica of the Churchill tool, or ship the axles to someone who has one (probably Herma

Boy, rear diffs are very difficult to fix. Front ones are real easy on these cars, however. Too bad it's not the front one. You sure it's the gasket and not the pinion seal? Been a lotta years since I did one, but it's a drop out third member isn't

Well, Doc, I use the Twin Cam "bible" - Miles Wilkins "Lotus Twin Cam Engine". I'd have thought with your Elans you'd use that too. If you can get a copy, it's worth reading.

Hi guys - I decided to give the electrolytic process a try and they are cooking away as I write this. I'm digging the science project part of this - and that I can be doing other things while these are bubbling away. Thanks for the suggestion guys.

It's definitely worth a bench test first - unless you have a much stronger back than I do and enjoy pulling the trans in and out of the car! I just bench test the od I plan on putting in the 3A - looks pretty good, but the gauge gave me 300 psi whic
