Undertray/diffuser bolts

[tuscan_thunder]

Having taken the car to bits in one location and putting it back together in 2 others, the undertray bolts/fasteners have gone astray.

I'll need a full new set: does anybody know what sizes/lengths I need before I head to grampian fasteners looking vague?

thanks in advance

[foz01]

does the eliseparts site list the sizes?

[tuscan_thunder]

can only find their quick release system which is M8 and M5 sizes: was pretty sure some of them were M6 but could be wrong.

It depends on your diffuser. There are at least 16 M5's and you may have 2 more.

If you buy the C-clips/spire nuts from EP they don't come with bolts. If you buy them from Lotus (assuming they still sell such a cheap item ) then they come with bolts.

Beware that most C-clips you'll find on the market are for self tapping screws, not metric thread bolts/screws. Although you could use these for the elise, I'm not convinced that the self tapper will do up tight enough to stay put, considering all the vibrations, etc.

Cheers,
Robin

I have them too ended up sdearching for a ducati fairing kit or something

They are motorbike fairing kits.

This looks likely, but I don't remember exactly the spec of the fasteners.
