If this is in electronic form and easy to send, I'd love to have a
copy.
My next step in my "competition career" is a track day in my 65 Super 7.
I had planned on building a hoop with two back braces that would bolt
to the existing frame tubing.
Thanks

Steve,
Here is the sheet. It is hard to put a useful bolt-on bar into a Lotus 7. The
common "street bar" bolts on top of the spring towers with braces back to the
rear body support tubes. At the very least I would have a forward tube that
goes from the main hoop to the passenger foot well cross tube.
