Hi All,
Just been trolling the web for seals and come across this company,
http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/index.aspLoads of different seal profiles and materials. They do a product similar to sikaflex 221 there code is S136, it's £10.82+ vat and delivery.
I've ordered some seals to attempt this fix,
http://www.lotuselancentral.com/repair/seals.htmOnce the seals arrive I'll take some photos and post the results (if I can upload the pics).
Cheers Jon

Hi Trevor,
I've ordered 2 types SRS1706 & SRS1902 and a roll of adhesive tape, I'll have a play with both and see which works best.

I replaced my seals soon after purchasing as I got the wet knee

whilst driving home. I brought the seals from LIpscombes in Maidstone
and Silkaflex on-line and proceeded with the little project. It solved the leaking. I will try and get some photo's taken over the weekend.

Thanks Trevor, that would be a great help. I will probable end up replacing them at some point, I want to try the repair first though. Hope you have a good Christmas

you'll have to come over in the new year and check the Elan over.
Cheers Jon.
