My refresh of the S1's suspension was going well until I started on the last corner, Rear O/S. The lower wishbone has a slight bend in it I also noticed the tie bar to be slightly bent although I have a new one of those to go on. I assume my wishbone is scrap ?? All other wishbones on the car seem fine. Any ideas where best to buy a replacement Lotus one ? I've seen a few on eBay but would rather buy from a known quantity.

I have a front driver's side wishbone to match that from my refurb. Didn't notice until I had it zinc played and painted it with por15!
I got a replacement from junks on SELOC.

I've just sent Junks a PM on SELOC to see if he has any, Tut did you happen to get a look if you have an O/S rear lower kicking around at all ?

Sorry, Verian had moved them, but it was a front not rear.
