Just bought a '67 Elan +2.

I will eventually want the calipers rebuilding. Anyone got a lead as to who can do this around Leeds?

Really a lot of fun having a car with twin webers and no ECU. Just fiddle with ignition and carries - no computer required!

I have a few weekends and evenings of fiddling to do:

Sway bar and other bushes to replace
Stiff steering to one side - replacing tie rod ends and ball joints. - and will check rack if that doesn't cure it.
Get the wheels balanced and geometry done
Replace dynamo with alternator
Electroinc ignition
Strip and service the webers

Once it drives and handles well, will start to get all the cosmetic and practical stuff (like demister/heater) done and put a bluetooth retro radio in it.

I have a historic 2 day 'rally' in France in April - more of a tour really.

Once I have put the electronic ignition, replaced the dynamo with an alternator and replaced all the bushes etc, I will pop around...

Not done them yet. The brakes, while not shiny and pretty, work fine. So I have been doing essential stuff.
