Scottish Elises

Guys

Hopefully just a quick one this time. I have a rattle coming from the rear of the car when accelerating. After some head scratching I (and my mechanic cousin) suspect the exhaust is rubbing on the undertray when under load. I’m looking to replace the rubber mounts and was wondering if these are Elise specific items? I was hoping that you would be able to pick them up at some local motor factors or is it an Eliseparts job?

These?? http://www.eliseparts.com/products.php?product=284

Any info appreciated!

Cheers

Steven

Not sure if you can get them from elsewhere, but we just buy them from Geary.

They're a Rover part - you might be able to get them from wherever you can get Rover bits. It's used on the MGF/MGTF in much the same way as it is on the Elise.

Cheers,
Robin

P.S. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/ appear to stock Rover parts for mail order - I've never managed to get anywhere with their website, but I bet you could just call up and ask for them and they'll know what you want.

Cheers guys!

I'm off work on Monday I was wondering if I would be able to pick them up off the shelf somewhere and do it then, but if i cant find then i will order some.

PTP appear to sell them for £1.70 each, but then charge you £5 for delivery for three tiny little pieces of rubber!

Steven

So buy 20 and then share them about with others that need them

Cheers,

MG/ROVER Part No WCS100090

Cheers for the part number Hambo, brought up this which may be of use! http://www.mgfcar.de/epc/5972.htm (parts 13,14,15)

Thought I would have a wee look under the car to check as see what we were dealing with and I found this. Why would someone weld the end of the bolts?

Should be easy enough to remove as by the looks of things probably be best to replace the metal bracket and bolt at the same time! The other bracket at the other side of the exhaust is the same!

To stop them spinning when you're inside the clam removing the nuts (making it a one man job)

The hanging rod from the exhaust to the bracket has broken on mine. Must have happened twice looking at the welding on the exhaust box, and it has built up into a mound.

Is it possible to get the old weld off so that I am back to a smooth surface?

Grinder should work

Thanks Chris. Will get the shocks on and take it round to John.

Just ordered 3 exhaust rubbers from http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/ using MG/ROVER Part No WCS100090 for £9.96 all in

Also, looking at this link http://www.mgfcar.de/epc/5972.htm part no 14 looks like a cover-plate for the rubber, and shows as £0.72. The same diagram and part no. on the Rimmerbros site lists at £11.87 and is called Bracket Assembly Mounting. I need some of the cover-plates also, but I don't understand the huge price difference, and can't see a cover-plate on B&C or Eliseparts

The cover plate and the rubber are the correct parts Tom, so you may as well buy both from the MG site.

Ordered yesterday morning, and they were delivered today .

A big for Rimmerbros!

I got my last ones from Kwick fit for free. just walked in and spoke nice to the guys.
