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.

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

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The cars were originally made by Van Deiman, and i believe they still use the uprights on various other cars.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
