Notes from Merlin..

its all been worked out, harvey has done a few of these b4 so he has got an idea he was just wondering if your engine guy had an exact length in mind, dnt worry thou. stepped headers,have you ever looked at a rule and seen the difference between 1 5/8 + 1 3/4 ? it aint much and im sure that this would make no difference. I told harvey exactly what your plans were for the lotus, so he is going to build you a system that will give you nice top end but also make it easy to drive day to day by hopefully increasing lower end power.big wing no problem!

Re rear wing - the only rules about end plates is that they cant stick out side the body work! not sure about the pointy bits may have to have a 7mm radius. didnt get a chance to go and see harvey to day i will have to pop down to morrow. only prob with putting stickers on the end plates is that they usualy hide the lovley carbon, so have to be clever with graphics. i like the idea of paint design and love the red idea around intakes.oh on a good note spencer "petrol tank man" phoned up to day tanks are tacked up and ready for final fit, so i just got to go and get them +see if they fit,make allterations ie fixing brackets,inlet, outlet,and breathers.his web site is www.sm-engineering.co.uk im sure there will be some other bits and pieces from him like a headertank.

picking car up on tuesday morning i have got a mould for a dash which i will try to sketch for you . I think it will look well cool especially at an angle. i love the led toggle switches there is also an other type which is what i am fitting to the rage buggy but if they dont tickle your fancy then the led toggle switches are ace.

sva? i cant see why you will need an sva? you do have the log book and its already road registered.

could do with a pipe from demon tweeks " fuel filler neck hose 45degree 51mm" and a 51mm straight.il send you some pics on tuesday of the exhaust and the tanks which i may pick up tomorrow.
