Elan cross reference guide??

PostPost by: lee » Thu Feb 24, 2022 8:03 pm

Does anyone have, or know of the existence of a cross reference guide for Elan parts? I had one for the Europa (which is long departed); it was only about five sheets of photocopied typing paper, but was very very handy. It had Girling & Lucas parts numbers, etc., but also unexpected info (like the Europa steering sector was the same as a Triumph Spitfire, the speedo cable from a VW would work, etc., etc.) that I couldn't've figured out by myself. My basket case S4 is coming along nicely (motor and chassis finished) but I'm going to be short a bunch of stuff like toggle switches, front signal lights, door lock mechanisms, rubber moulding--stuff that just may be more universal than I'm aware. Any help will be appreciated.

Buckland's book also has some great information on parts.

Also the lotuseuropa.org
Wonder if anyone has time here to help the Wiki section?
