Elite/Eclat/Excel interchange, editable spreadsheet for all!

[Mark Wainwright]

i`m starting an openly editable spreadsheet for parts interchange for our cars, the link is here, feel free to log on and update it as necessary, just copy my format if you are adding a new section, and feel free to amend things if you are 100% certain they are wrong, and put a note in the amended notes column at the end when you edit something someone else has added as to why..  delete teh previous amended note if theres one there already.   

 

hopefully people will keep adding to this so that we can end up with a very complete list!

Nice work Mark

 

Well done

[Mark Wainwright]

im going to make it Elite/Eclat only, i can always copy it over and make an Excel one, i feel theres probably too many differences to have them all in one sheet there.. 

 

heres the Excel one, its the same as how I left the Elite Eclat one, as i assume there are some similarities, but is currently wrong, so the Excel knowledgeable can put it right

Great idea, very useful.

[Mark Wainwright]

Im lifting everything from Golden Gate lotus` page and anything else i can find on the net, including speculative (will be indicated with a ?)    thats mostly part numbers, cross references to common cars would be super handy if people know them for ebay searches and whatnot.. 

[Mark Wainwright]

how does one request a sticky on this?  it`d be great if it stayed around...   

cheers,

Air filter is Mann C4373/1 fits Elite/Eclat/Excel and Most Esprits.  I have over 50 of them on the shelf for this reason.

S1 Fuse box is 100% Ford, I've added the Ford part number to the spreadsheet.  Although as already noted, the fuse box lid seems to be specific to the Lotus.

Thanks for that.  Just been thinking I probably need a replacement fusebox.  New replacements aren't cheap though, are they!

couple more queries-

 

engine mount s1 - is it cortina/land rover?

4spd gearbox mount - cortina/sierra?

[CharlieCroker]

Rear lower link bushes, anyone find the alternative?

Engine mounts are almost certainly British Leyland, I'm just not sure which models.  I've got a parts catalogue handy for the Metro so I had a quick look.  There's a couple of different part numbers listed, NAM1975 looks very like it based on this ebay pic http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281965003352?clk_rvr_id=1000571688563&rmvSB=true

Small detail but I've updated the spreadsheet with the slightly obscure bulb used in the console illumination lamp based on this discussion http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/81018-interior-light/

are you sure? I thought the manual right hand drive rack was triumph herald/dolomite? I know the PAS rack is used in a Ford, but thought the manual was BL?

My S2 is wearing a manual Triumph rack, but it was originally a PAS car,.

[pbharcourt]

Yes defo.

Herald rack is used in the Elan, it has a short column pinion.

Capri / Lotus rack
