Toe links and rod needed

Post by Lazydonkey » Wed Jul 01, 2009 12:53 pm

On the off chance that vaux can't get me the part tomorrow does anyone have spare rear toe links and control arm / rod thing ? (im mechanically incompetent mind :oops: )

Just thought that there might be someone sad enough to have one kicking about :lol:

How the fcuk would i know that nizzy? I drive a desk :lol:

All i know is that it's standard elise stuff, only MMC wont supply cos of lack of chassis number. One is on order from Vauxhall but it may not arrive in time for 0507 necessitating 1.2 panda to gairloch :(

Can you drop it off at mine if you reckon it's servicable for a weekend/1000 miles. Cheers. :thumbsup

I reckon the S1 stuff will not fit as they were quite a bit different depending on the year.

Any chance of a picture and I may be able to help. Particularly the outboard joint.

I (well robin) still has my old toe link off the 135R, the one that didnt snap on french frolic. Its a passenger side one. You can have it at your own risk. There is nothing wrong with it, but i cant guarantee anything.
