Re: Group Build: Lotus Super Twelve

Long time, no update on the beast...
But the deadline of the 7th of july is approaching fast !
I have been doing some detail fabrication today.
The oil cooler is installed on the roll cage and plumbed with A/N fittings.
Also added a fire extinguisher:



The brake lines are also installed on the brake master cylinders:

Re: Group Build: Lotus Super Twelve

Hi Martin,

outstanding stuff you're building. Your build kind of dwarfs all other 7 builds...and not just by engine size.
Keep it up, there's still a bit of time left

Cheers
SEB

Re: Group Build: Lotus Super Twelve

Hello, Dopey the Dwarf here
(there were 7 dwarfs too! )

Excellent detail!

Glad to see you pushing for the finish date. I was just writing to a pal that I must do my final assembly tomorrow before I leave for vacation.

Re: Group Build: Lotus Super Twelve

Ok Since I'm not at home this weekend, this will be the last in-progress update before this model is finished.
Hope to put up a completed thread later tonight.

I have put on the headlights which are box stock except for the bracket.




I didn't know what do about the air filters so I resprayed them in green and gave them a wash.
Think they look decent now.



And finally I made an engine ECU and some wiring harness and connectors that I put between
the battery and the brake cylinders on the bulkhead.



Watch out fot the completed thread later..

Great stuff

But my "oldie" beat you to the finishing line

Look forward to seeing it all put together -I am sure it will be stunning!

I'm speechless. I never knew a Super 7 could look this good. Sorry Klutz.
