jimh Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I think this is the guard that fits behind the sump and guards the bellhousing as there is a step.I was interested in this for my CSR but it was no use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat the Plumber Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Didn't they use a plastic wedge at one time. Is this still available or was this of no use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 As implied by "done its job" it is a sacrificial buffer/bumper. It looks so simple I would have thought could get one made up almost anywhere. Questioning also whether the chamfered and enclosed ends are really necessary? Simplify and lighten?

If there is no obvious places to get one I`ll whip it off and take it down the local fabricators but for the £11 RRP it would probably cost more to make one !

chris956 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Popped into Dartford today as I was passing and despite showing none in stock had 3 on the shelf !!! It was like a ghost town as the business has moved to Crawley today. Maybe I was the last Dartford customer for a part !! Still , all fitted and sorted now http://www.lotus7.club/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Has the Parts Dept gone to Crawley too ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris956 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Apparently so. Today was the first day of trading for the Crawley side of the business as the main goto place. Dartford is staying but only to build new cars. Service, parts and sales all at the new place in Crawley. So I was told anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
