my drivers side door has dropped and I think I need some new hinge bushes.

Bush, Door Hinge, Part No A111U0057F.

Deroure are on back order. Anyone know where I can get my hands on a couple?

My usual ports of call for parts would be; Elise Parts, Elise Shop, or Bell & Colville, if you have not already tried them. HTH

It's worth giving either of them a call, from my experience they sometimes have obscure parts that are not listed on their website, or can point you in the right direction. Same goes for B&C.

Looking at an image of them, any basic machine shop/lathe operator should be able to knock up a few of the parts are not procurable.

thanks again for suggestions. Elise shop don't have the parts they would have to order from lotus which is what I have done with deroure, just they are on back order with the factory.
I tried junks on seloc too, but no joy.
Good shout about machining. I think that will be my quickest route, had hoped it would have been easier and I could just order online!
