Hello all,
So I have finally got my Lotus 61 in my garage and made a dummy build of the parts from the boxes
I have some questions about origniallity as I will try to restore it to original condition.
What colour should the frame be? Someone told me that the Lotus gray was surplus light gray from the aircraft industry after WW2. The rollhop on my car have been replaced but I think I will keep it

1. I guess that this bracket is cut to fit the more modern low bodywork, should it have the hole marked?
2. How should the radiator attachments look like?
3. When I make a new instrument panel what should the joint look like? I have seen panels with leather some with alu panel and some steel with paint finish
4. What is the marked hole in the centre for? Is the hole to the right original as it doesnt have a chamfer
5. What are these brackets for? what should they look like?
6. This bracket looks home made, should it be there and if so how sohuld it look?
7. I guess that this is orignial
8. Is this the Arch Motors frame No?
