This is a replacement/upgrade kit for the rubber nuts and bolts found to secure wheel arches on the Series 1 (S1) Elise and Exige.
The rubber nuts are designed to fit a 12.5/13mm diameter hole, are made from neoprene rubber and have an m6 brass thread in the end. The bolts and washers are made from high quality A2 stainless steel that will not rust.
The rubber nut is placed through the holes and when the bolt is tightened, it compresses behind the wheel arch and bodywork, securing the two. The Elise/Exige S1 uses 14 of this size and 8 of the smaller m5 size to secure all 4 wheel arch liners. It is well worth replacing these nuts every year or two as they do tend to seize up. I would also recommend using a dab of copper grease when refitting to aid removal in future.
The rubber nuts are very difficult to source and will cost you upwards of £2 each (just for the nut, and not the bolt and washer) from any Lotus dealer.
Each kit contains:
10 x M6 Rawl Nuts
10 x Stainless Steel Bolts
10 x Stainless Steel Washers
FEATURES
Resistant to vibration and corrosion.
Flange holds fixing flush to mounting surface.
Sleeve compresses to provide secure fixing, even in irregular shaped holes.
Made from synthetic rubber for more severe conditions.
Bonded brass insert.
These soft neoprene rubber well nuts are high quality and will last longer than cheaper Chinese imitations sold on ebay, and are even better than OEM parts in most cases.
