A Post/Pillar Seals Available from Lotus!

[rip]

Fantastic. Are they still made of cheese or have they remanufactured them in something more durable this time?

You now know as much as me.

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


...until someone on here buys a pair & lets the rest of us know.

Good news eh!

We've reduced the price too from £122.33 each + vat (£143.74 inc) when last available in 2005, to just £63.82 + vat each that equals £150 per pair inc vat near 1/2 original.

We have had to take 450 car sets into stock so ask kindly for as much support as you can give to help advertise/promote this resource.

there is anybody who's so kind to take a set for me??? I called the dealer and it seems really hard to get them to Italy.
thanks!!

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

Are you sure?? I remembered that it was different!!

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.

:banana: This is great news but do we have a guide for installing these seals?

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

All dealers are being notified of this news today.

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".

[ratman]

I tried to find them in Italy but without any look.
if there is someone that is buying his couple, I'll ask him to order a second set for me. obviously i should pay by Paypal in advance!!!! . thanks! F.

[Kimbers]

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.

BOO

Just spoke to williams in Bristol and they are saying that not available yet will be about a week? Anybody else found this issue?

Also working in Bristol I can pick up a job lot if anyone local has ordered some? Mr Pink They knew the part no. as soon as I got past B0 !!!

Any news appreciated as I am dry but my passenger is getting wet

Cheers

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)

[blacknight]

Has anyone actually managed to get some yet?

Just interested as my local dealer says "Computer says no"

Cheers

Iain

From the factory today " 50 sets have been distributed".
