The Lotus Elan +2 was originally designed with a steel box section concealed within the fibreglass sill.
This simple component provides significant longitudinal and torsional rigidity to the fibreglass body.
In addition to this, the steel box section has the jacking points and front seat belt anchor points incorporated into the design.
The Lotus Factory originally manufactured these from mild steel and tack welded nuts to the surface for the fixing plates.
The steel box section was then simply painted in primer which offered limited corrosion protection.
With the passage of time and water ingress, the majority of these box sections have corroded and need replacement.
