Scottish Elises

Guys

After almost 3 years of holding up my bootlid with my head, and getting the gunk from the spring on various items of clothing, I have now begun the hunt for a boot cover. I have the older style clam on my S1 and all that is left is the remnants of a broken hinge on the aluminium divider. Does any one have any ideas where i might be able to pick one up? B&C still list the 'piano' style hinge for it but not the lid itself. Its item 6 on the parts diagram below!
Cheers

Steven

So I am guessing best place would be a scrappy

Or you could install a stay/prop like the later cars have.

Which would give you better access to the engine bay.

A pole from a Halfords 2 tonne trolley jack makes a good interim solution too! A bit of wood dowel would do the trick too.

I already have a highly sophisticated stick for accessing the engine! Tis even painted silver to match the car (not my doing)!

Reason for the cover is more for moving stuff in and out the boot. I had looked at fabricating a prop of sorts but im not great at the whole fabrication thing!

Tut you have PM

......and you have a boot lid cover.

Nice to see the SE Asynchronous Swap Shop is still thriving !

I think I can beat you all here. I have an adjustable boot lid support. It's thin so I get good engine access and light weight, in keeping with the Lotus ethos. It's recycled (well reused) so is environmentally friendly too!

It's an extendible pole from an old hoover..
