Has anyone ordered them online? If so, where from? Or have you bought them at a Lotus dealership? Problem is I never get any time to go to Lotus...The rear cant rail brackets are the black fixings in the corners of the rear roll over bar. They provide the rear support for both the soft and hard tops. On earlier NAs (before approx 52 plates) they were lovely cast aluminium items. However, these do not support the rear fixings of the hardtop correctly. To fit a hardtop, you need to change them to the rubbish plastic ones found on later cars.
The part numbers are 9197328 (right) and 9197327 (left).
For the privillage of buying these inferior items from vauxhall the price is £17.35 + vat EACH
The part numbers for the Lotus items are C116B0466F (right) and C116B0467F (left).
I found them on elise-shop.com HERE and HERE but they are in NL and want silly DHL P&P.
It's about time I bought some - I've only had a misfitting HT for about 3 years...
