Lotus Elite or Eclat clutch cable B075Q0050WC
Both the Lotus Elite and Eclat use the identical mechanical cable to operate the clutch.
Unfortunately the original cable has a reputation of having a short service life and often failing prematurely.
Lotus Marques now offers a superior replacement that is manufactured from high tensile wire that is preformed.
The 7 x 7 construction is a flexible inner cable made up of seven individual strands, each having seven wires.
This cable configuration is ideally suited to the Lotus Elite and Eclat application where frequent bending around a small radius pulley occurs.
The external conduit is a coiled spring type that is plastic covered to exclude dust and moisture.
Clutch cable B075Q0050WC to suit Lotus Elite or Eclat
The clutch cable is supplied with a water-proof rubber boot at the threaded adjustment rod (located at the clutch lever)
Alloy pulley to suit clutch cable B075Q0050WC
To complement the replacement cable, Lotus Marques can supply a larger diameter alloy pulley with inner bearing to improve clutch operation. Note carefully, this alloy pulley SHOULD ONLY BE USED in conjunction with a plastic sheathed inner flexible cable. Please check the existing clutch cable installed in your vehicle before ordering.
Clutch cable ONLY price $124.30 including GST ($113.00 excluding GST)
Please note carefully, pricing above does not included postage and packing

Lotus Elan +2 headlamp control valve
The later Lotus Elan +2s and S130/5 were upgraded to fail-safe headlamps that were controlled by an electrically operated valve.
These vehicles are identified by a single vacuum control module and an interconnecting linkage located between the headlamp pods.
The original Lotus part number A026B0736A is obsolete but can now be replaced by a high quality valve.
Unlike the original component, the replacement valve provides an absolute seal and prevents the headlamp pods rising slowly over time.
Lotus Elan +2 headlamp control valve
It is supplied as a turn-key solution and comes with a water-proof electrical plug.
It also comes with two brass 5/16" male connectors and a brass filter/silencer for the atmospheric exhaust port.
Recommended installation is to bolt the valve to the passenger side radiator blanking panel for easy vacuum pipe connectivity.
Price $302.50 including GST ($275.00 excluding GST)
Please note carefully, pricing above does not included postage and packing

Lotus Esprit rear radius arm RH B082D4110J and LH B082D4111J
The outstanding handling of the Lotus Esprit is directly attributable to its light weight construction and fully independent suspension.
The rear suspension employs a tapered box section trailing radius arm on each side of the vehicle.
These same trailing suspension arms may be found on the Lotus Esprit S3 through to the Esprit S4s
Dimensionally they are identical but details vary slightly depending on whether inboard or outboard brakes are employed (and if ABS sensors installed - later SE, S4, S4s)
This trailing radius arm is used in conjunction with top and bottom tubular transverse links.
Lotus Esprit rear radius arm B084D4110J and B082D4111J 
A cast alloy hub carrier houses a substantial bearing to support the steel hub and outboard drive-shaft.
The alloy hub also provides a mounting point for a concentric coil spring/damper unit.
On later models fitted with a Renault gearbox, the alloy hub has a mounting point for the disc brake caliper (plus a wheel speed sensor on ABS equipped vehicles).
The spring/ damper unit is overhung from the bottom rear part of the hub carrier, sharing the lower link pivot stud.
The fabricated steel radius arm is bolted rigidly to the hub carrier via four lugs in order to resist the drive-shaft and brake torque loads.
It also controls the rear wheel alignment, and transmit the thrust loads into the chassis and via a bonded rubber pivot bush.
Wheel alignment is adjusted by shimming at this pivot bush.
On the later Esprit S4 and S4s, the camber adjustment is provided by an adjustable length top link which is standard equipment.
Unfortunately the standard top link is fitted with rubber bushes at each end.
This design does to handle the torque (twisting load) imposed across the link very well.
Whilst the suspension constantly moves up and down, the constant twisting action eventually undoes the lock-nuts.
Lotus Marques stocks rear adjustable top links that have a spherical rod-end at each end that eliminates the inherent design problem.
These radius arms are now available from Lotus Marques and are zinc plated for maximum corrosion protection.
The radius arms are handed and therefore the following part numbers should be used to ensure the correct component is supplied.
Right-hand radius arm B082D44110J
Left-hand radius arm B082D40111J
Price $495.00 pair including GST ($450.00 pair excluding GST)
Price $275.00 each including GST ($250.00 each excluding GST)

Front road spring cover for Lotus Elan and Elan +2
Here is quality steel cover to suit the standard road spring on a Lotus Elan or Elan +2.
These covers are slightly longer than standard so as to provide superior control over the spring when compressed.
The standard coil spring over shock absorber assembly exhibits lateral distortion problems when the spring is compressed.
This is where the road spring assumes a banana-like shape and makes contact with the shock absorber body.
This can often result in creaking noises heard from the front suspension when pressing down on the front body section.
Front road spring cover for Lotus Elan and Elan +2
By extending the original cover length it is possible to provide additional support to the heavily compressed road spring.
Lotus Elan +2 shock absorber and spring assembly
These covers are coated in epoxy black paint and are ready for immediate installation.
Price $33.00 each including GST (30.00 each excluding GST)
