Parts Interchange & Cross Reference Listings

PostPost by: Ianashdown » Wed Dec 21, 2022 8:54 pm

Golden Gate Lotus Club has a very useful list of non-Lotus manufactured parts and what vehicle they came from, but it seems to me that it is far from complete. For those of us restoring incomplete cars, a resource like this is invaluable!

Can we, the LotusElan.net group add to this document to make it more complete? If so, is there a place on this site where helpful documents, drawings etc can be posted for the benefit of all?

Here is an Excel version for reference.

Lotus Elan Parts Cross Reference.xls

Perhaps we can feed any info back to GGLC also.

GGLC is happy to accept Xref info and update the list on the GGLC website.

Hi Kiyoshi,

The Xreference is great! I just know there are more parts that could be included and hope that we could gather the individual accumulated knowledge for the benefit of all.

Robinshaw / Ross has a pretty comprehensive cross reference section at the end of the book. I have used it a number of times and it has proved helpful.

I have that book, I’ll take a look and update my database. I’ll also forward to Kiyoshi for the GGLC X ref.
