I know it's not needed, but i'm going to have to drill my rear one out and i'd like a replacement - any idea where to get them from?

There's probably a couple of million of them knocking around on flidBay. Any motor factors will have a box full of the. Elise Parts sell them and if you want the expensive option, Vauxhall or Lotus will as well.

Ouch. That's a bit of a difference. 
Luckily my AP bells don't even have the provision for them, so don't have to worry about them.

Cheers guys, Joe if you're doing this i'm interested, simply because I suspect the cost of shipping these parts out can do be done cheaper than the standard shipping from these places.
That's nothing, you should see the difference between the original caliper bolts and theirs.
Glad I noticed - 1 cm of play in the calipers can't be good!

I too was sent the wrong size from Elise parts. Thankfully the screws that came out weren't knackered so got re-used.

Does any one know the size of allen required for the disc retaining screw? Last time i removed one i struggled a bit as my allen bit was a bit rounded. Got it off but want a nice clean new one to prevent issues. Cheers..
