Hi everybody.

Im currently building my self a kit car with suspension thats reminds of some formel cars.

So i´m lookig for uprights from a formel vauxhall lotus car.

Any suggestion where i can find a set original or copies, or similar would be very appreciated

There was a guy selling some formula vauxhall lotus parts (not uprights) on the racecar forums recently. Maybe worth looking it up and see if he has any contacts for other bits.

You wouldnt like this baby growing old in the garage because of lost for some uprights

looks good, thulle, though that chassis would benefit from some triangulation (i guess it's not finished yet, eh!?)

Ned.

Thanks

yea theres much work left to do.
rollcage, triangulation etc

But it would help alot if i just could find some uprights now when the body is finished

If you are in Sweden, why not ask in this swedish locost forum?

The cars were originally made by Van Deiman, and i believe they still use the uprights on various other cars. You can probably get them from them direct.

Their agents for Vauxhall Junior and Lotus cars was FCS and the guy you need to talk to is called Alan (forget his surname now). You can often see FCS ads in the back of Autosport, and i'm sure their name is listed in the Autosport directory, so you should be able to track down a number for them.

Kind regards,
Darren
