Hi Guys;

I was wondering if anyone had any idea if converting our 62 Lotus 23B from rubber doughnuts to CV joints would be compliant with FIA historic regs?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure there are any of those on the ground in Malta. . I'll have to try track someone down online.

The only motivation was greater reliability. Thanks for the information, will proceed accordingly.

It's worth looking into 'doughnut savers' or whatever they're officially called- devices which can be used in combination with doughnuts to stop the driveshaft from flailing about in the event of a failure.
Thanks for the tip, will look into these.

Nice! Ours is trimmed in red though as that goes better with its colour scheme: https://www.instagram.com/p/BI5han-gbiQXiECnFW7DH2...

On the hunt for an Ali bodied Lotus XI though and those would be perfect for it.
