Since Sy posted all he knows about this & did not mention their material, only those at Lotus will know what they are made of...

I believe SE and S2 are the same if my memory serves me correctly.

There was a change to the A post seals (IIRC) but it was early on in the SE production... not sure what the difference would be though?

A100V0117F & 118F are listed in an old parts manual and B100V0117F & 118F are listed in a more recent one. There has obviously been a change, but it was a long time ago and the two should be compatible. Don't worry about them fitting the S2 Federico as the new ones were developed on Lotus' own S2.

Checked with Christopher Neil today, still showing as due in and no stock. Presumeably, Lotus need to update the system. The important thing is that they are on the way

Hopefully our US dealers will be able to help and the import process won't double the price. Otherwise, I will definitely need to enlist the help of you fine chaps. I'm going to buy a set "just to have".

OK all. Just spoken to Neil at Lotus and the parts are now live on dealer systems. They have been downloaded this morning.
Ratman. I'm at Lotus Tuesday. If you want to PM me your contact details (e-mail, mobile etc) I'll deal with it whilst I'm there and if we can't get it to a local dealer then I'm sure we can get it posted direct. Make sure you send me your address as well! Make sure you're contactable as Neil will need to sort payment before he can post.

I bought some items from Lotus Aftersales and while not insignificant, the shipping was around 25% of the order total. The purchase was still a bargain VS rack prices.

Iain,
I haven't ordered any yet, but do want a set!
Do you want me to order them or will you do it? and if so, is there anyone in particular to ask for if i phone up?
(PS - I've still got your Hall Sensors from the Hethel parts sale)
Dave
Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
