To adjust ride height, you turn the collar on the damper rather than adjusting the shock's length.

The only issue I'd see that would require the adjustment of a rod-end would be if it were too short or long and you wanted to alter the travel slightly. I really don't think there is much lost by them not being rod-ends. If you have the shocks before you make the mounts, its pretty easy to get the travel right.

1977 Lotus Elite in Springfield MO
$1000.
Might be worth using as a donor and trying to sell the other "bits" off of it to recoupe some money. What would be cooler then driving a locost with a real lotus drivetrain?


If anyone here buys this heap, I'm interested in some parts off it.

Pair of tan MG Midget seats in Modesto, CA. I've been considering using Spridget seats in the Seven, so I have a search set up in Ebay.

These have seat heaters which could help those in chillier climates. No bids right now so they could be a steal, especially if you guys are local and can pick them up.

Donor RX7 in central Texas. I'm tempted just for the drivetrain to shove into an earlier rx7

(FYI: I have no affiliation with this seller.)

I just spotted this "REAL" Lotus Super 7 on e-Bay. I think is was just listed today. San Fran area. Don't see many authentic 7s around. If this has been posted elsewhere, just delete this or ignore. I'm new around here and don't want to ruffle feathers so if this is improper in any way, please let me know.

Bryan
At this point, I am trying to get owning/building/buying/driving a Lotus 7 (type) added to my "Bucket List".
