Flying Carrot Steve Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I fitted some fancy led bulbs in my Dominators, made a huge difference but like @Naranja_Al I don't tend to drive at night. If I did often, I would want something better for sure. 1 Quote
Andrzej Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Hm did You check the light width on long and short lights? I have installed back halogen bulbs after this try: https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/160659-replacement-headlamps/page/2/#findComment-1637138 Short distance lights was better, but long distance light was not acceptable regarding lighting on sides of road where we have in evenings lot of cyclists etc... Also uneven light pattern as seen on my picures on wall. Might be diffferent LED's. One day (or revening./night bettter ) could You do similar picutres of light pattern on wall ? Quote

I don't recall my light pattern being like that. They had a good sharp cut off. I haven't driven at night yet so can't report on what they are like on the road. Tbh I will probably never drive her in the dark most likely Quote

ianali Posted Sunday at 17:21 Posted Sunday at 17:21 I recall Ali scribbling this into the sand when she retired. Wonderful feeling. Obviously I am way too young to retire. One day I hope. 3 Quote

Popular Post NotMcGoohan Posted Thursday at 12:37 Popular Post Posted Thursday at 12:37 Hi folks, I'm a newby member. Bought my 2000 kit build SE Narrow as a resto project from Bangers and Cash almost exactly 2 years ago. I'm an old fart, well into pensioner age and this was acquired as a 'memory lane' project having, in my late twenties, briefly owned an S2 Lotus 7 wearing 'The Prisoner' make-up. Upon collection from Pickering, closer inspection of the more or less stock 1600 Kent revealed that it had visibly blown a core plug and the decision was therefore made to carry out a 'zero hour' restoration on the whole car. The chassis was in pretty good nick for an exclusively track day'd car but everything else was tired. So, what have we done last year, this year, this week and today? Rear axle and brakes have been totally reworked with Quaife ATB LSD. Type 9 gearbox has been totally reworked. Front brakes are now Wilwood 4 pot. Rad has been flushed and restored. Engine build has been in the capable hands of Roger at Aldon Automotive in Brierley Hill, the work starting with a bare block chemical clean. Build has lightened flywheel, balanced and uprated bottom end and HD Helix clutch. Also has 244 cam, Duplex Vernier with access cover, Burton 2A big port/big valve head, HP oil pump, Samco hoses, Facet fuel pump, pressure regulator, new twin 45 DCOE's on Mangoletsi, uprated water pump with new alternator and Gates Tooth belt drive, Aldon electronic ignition and throwback lighting including headlight baskets and Lucas 1130 Torpedo sidelights. Car is in Westfield BRG with now of course, an LO7 yellow nosecone! Proper screen is waiting in my workshop together with wiper kit. Home made screen pillars (aka original Carbuilder/Lotus 7 style) yet to be formed from 5mm sheet ally. Stainless sheet ready to be English Wheeled to fit rear arches. Original Federal tyres had aged to consistency of concrete and (experimentally) replaced with Davanti Protoura road/track boots from Demon Tweeks. Bookend shots were at Bangers & Cash. Work in progress pics were taken at Aldon at beginning of year. Cost? Enough to initiate divorce procedings if my management finds out. Plans? Well here's a clue. I live 6 miles from Shelsley Walsh. Plus a mandatory photo shoot at Portmeirion! Best, NotMcGoohan 14 Quote
