The cost of these at ?690 are steep against TTR at ?450 but do look beautifully made and the design is complementary I feel to the lotus delicacy - I have earmarked these for the future but also interested to see the ones that Sue Miller supplies....
One last hurrah for the rotoflexes being that in Brian (Bucklands) book he suggests that when the rotoflexes need changing the time is anyway about right to fit new bearings to the hubs - but I guess if the bearings start rumbling you will know that anyway!
I also notice from his book that he reverted to rotoflexes - his points being:
1) "Make sure they operate at full droop which can be a problem and not all do"
2) "I am told, if you give the Elan the boot from a stand still you can shear off the differntial drive shaft if not cushioned"
3) "tried them for a 3 month period on my car without a problem although I did think it was a harsher ride and I have changed back"
I would stress that he did not state any particular make.
