S1 rear window fitting

Refitting rear window after a lengthy rebuild and I bought a replacement seal some time ago expecting it to be the circular tubing that goes round the inside of the window. I was sent a square seal (about 1cm across) which is only just over the length of the window. Should this sit below or above th...

S1 Elise petrol tank (and recommendations)

Looking for a replacement. Has anyone bought one and can recommend a supplier at hopefully a lower price than Eliseparts etc or has a spare one?
Cheers

Re: Rebuilding The Shed (formerly aka the Shugmobile)

The rebuild has been continuing but not as quick as I'd hoped with progress often limited to Saturdays due to work. Big thanks to Craig for helping with sourcing parts and words of advice. I'll catch up on posting the internal work sometime soon (engine is back from Paul at ESC and back in the car e...

Re: S1 side scoops fitted

Elise parts has the chat "30% more air into the side air ducts keeping the engine bay temperatures to a reasonable level. As cold air is denser than the warm underhood temperature it helps to increase BHP too."

Did you notice any difference when you put them on?

Re: Rebuilding The Shed (formerly aka the Shugmobile)

Taken Ferg's advice and bought the nimbus. Not cheap (£100 bucks from eliseparts for 1.2m by 60cm) but hopefully worth it. http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z432/DavidBaileysBrother/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/IMG-20150907-WA0000.jpg Most of the old heatshield was like sawdust so decided to strip all...

Replacement fixings for clams?

On removing the clams, many of the fixing broke and will need replaced. Are there any fixing kits out there or any guides on what people have done. The bolts appear to have been kept in place by taps like so: http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z432/DavidBaileysBrother/Mobile%20Uploads/20150831_1056...
