'Sup mother hubbards.

I know they're rarer than class and refinement in a southerner but I'm on the hunt for a Lotus Europa rear gearbox mount for the M32 conversion. I've got all the other bits but this one is eluding me. I figured there's no harm in asking.

Vocky has one, think it was at £20,500 last time I looked....

Still lookin'.

Might pattern and cast some if I can find one.

[vocky]

you could probably make an adaptor plate to allow the vx220 item to be used ?

 

or just make a billet mount

[techieboy]

Didn't DuncanVXR get some drawn up (possibly made) at some point in the dim and distant? Somebody certainly did.

Yeah, I've dug out your cad file, I believe its in your project thread. I could go for a billet one or I could pattern from one and re-cast them. I just like an oem or oem-alike cast one

i thought there was a vectra one that worked? or was that to do with the front?

[FLD]

I think the front is OEM but the rear is bespoke.

Bit of cardboard template. Bit of 5mm steel plate. £100 welding. Can of hammerite. Done

[smiley]

So Europa rear mount part number is A116A0218J but in this case not from the VX, despite the 116 numbering?

 

[vocky]

thats because the Europa was going to be the Mk2 vx220

[FLD]

Still looking for an OEM one.
