Dick,
Hmm. I once had a Type 14 which required Lotus Tool #1 to hold up yhe
boot lid. Maybe mine was missing some holder-up-er which should have
been there?
But then the brick (actually, a short tuba-4, which is lighter to carry
around in the car... we can't forget the Chapman tradition) *has* to be
Lotus Tool #2, even though many (not all) old Lotuses supposedly had
handbrakes. ;-)
