Are these unique to Lotus or an MGF part?
I need one. Mine is cracked, and, as ever, the budget is stretched......
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance...........

Dean, there must be loads in garages from upgrades. Try a wanted post on SELOC.

At the risk of being flamed you could try UK lotus centre on  0121 561 5454. He did me a good deal when I needed a drive shaft.

Oh and if he does have one offer him 2/3 of what he asks. He expects a haggle !!

Thanks guys. The ebay link looked the most promising (brand new for £60 odd) but it is for an s1 and won't fit.

The oem one at Deroure is £198

Eliseshop have a stainless one for about £170 which seems decent, but I haven't got a spare £170!

May have to try and find a decent second hand one.

There were others on eBay search try Hill salvage
Up north second hand job .

Are ask around tomorrow at my Breakfast meet
Have got a old one which needs the flex part replacing cut out and weld a new part in .

Mine also went a couple of years back and I think I put a Janspeed flexi on which is a straight swap for OEM,  PTP has them on their tinternet site,

I actualy got the same flexi cheaper from a Lotus specialist, will look for the invoice, might be an option.

Brook Kensington - with vat and delivery it was £140

STANDARD DOWNPIPE AND FLEX - STAINLESS STEEL SS999DP2 Elise MK2 £ 104.75

Thanks for your help guys - you have saved me a few quid again.
Uk lotus could help, but you never know with a second hand flexi so I went for a new stainless one. Brook kensington did me one for £156 inc vat and postage after I pleaded (genuine) poverty.  Very decent of them too I thought.

Gav should fit it tomorrow.

I had this on my S1, for future reference there's a place called RSJ (I think it used to be called Mr Exhaust) in Wolverhampton who sold me a K-series one for about £52. Very nice they were too. And there's a cat who greets you when you turn up, but I think he may have been from somewhere else :-)
