Ok,
so my car's with DuncanVXR, having a few things fettled. One item for attention was replacement toe links. However, despite my car being a turbo it appears to have some N/A style (bloody Lotus monkeys) links, so the turbo ones do not fit. So, does anyone have any new OEM N/A style toelinks they'd be willing to sell - it appears Autovaux are out of stock for the moment.
Let me know what you've got.
Oh, and no jokes about it wanting to be an N/A...

Go to a stealer. I think they're about 12 quid.
Part no 9197839 I think.

Complete links are available from Lotus at about 66 quid. They were 66 quid when I did my suspension refresh anyway.

As of today I was informed vauxhall and lotus only had the turbo versions in stock and the n/a were on back order. Been waiting all week for them as they tend to only be a few days but these taking longer than usual 
Anyone tracks a set down for me will owe you a beer 
.....which you get after fitting them for me 
lol

Aren't they different due to the hubs?
Got any turbo hubs sitting around, 10 mins to replace surely...

Ok still wanted.
Really would rather do this before the national, as the thought of them snapping on track when I'd attempled to have them changed makes me feel sick.
If no one has any, then it's time to start recommending the best non-OE links that I could fit instead. If I'm paying a lot of money for them they NEED to be fit and forget.
Thanks,
G

No not new. I replaced them with the Spitfire kit. Sorry just seen you wanted new.

Sorry wanting new.
Remind me about the badge and poster. Did we agree a price?
Let me know, and I'll sort it ASAP (monday, as I'm off to LeMans in an hour)

Thanks Mike,
You were right - Dave had two left.
They're now mine.
Efficient and friendly service as well.
Cheers everyone.
In theory this thread can now be locked.

Not a problem Mike.
Had your input come after the national, or after the current links were to snap, then it maye have been a different story
Think Dave said they'd be with me Monday. I'm away to a small town in France for some endurance race this weekend anyway so no immediate rush
