Well, after being totally thwarted on the brake install on my Studebaker Champion the other night (the threads on the half axle were no good, so I couldn't reassemble the passenger side rear end) I opted to take a day on my side project. I will say that right now I am very frustrated with Lotus and their documentation. Meh!
While I'm waiting for the axle half shaft to come in I plan on doing up a Jensen Healey 5-speed rear end for my current JH project. I'll drag it into the garage tomorrow to start disassembly and restoration.
