Body; Electrical - Lotus Europa Twin Cam Owner's Manual

BODY

The excellent low drag and aerodynamic stability characteristics of the body shape
eliminated the need for extensive modifications.
The fenders were flared and extended to provide the necessary clearance and shrouding
required by the SCCA production sports car rules for the wider wheels and tires utilized.
High speed stability was improved by fitting a full width spoiler (available from Jensen
Motors, Inc.) to increase down-thrust and prevent lifting of the front of the car. Ducts were
provided in this spoiler to ensure adequate cooling air for the front brakes. It was necessary to
reinforce the nose of the car to prevent sagging under racing stresses. The standard support plate
was removed and support straps installed from the bottom of the front cross-member to the
underside of the nose.
All redundant electrical equipment and other fittings were removed together will all
flammable trim items from the cockpit.

ELECTRICAL

The vehicle was completely rewired: utilizing interior and exterior master switches.
An aircraft-type battery was used mounted in approximately the original location but
moved slightly for safety purposes
