Seat Belt buckle logos

PostPost by: pereirac » Fri Feb 03, 2006 3:42 pm

If the little metal Lotus badge inserts on your Elan seatbelt buckles are looking 'battered' (as mine are) or missing, Sue Miller has managed to get them remade and they are available from her at a very reasonable price...I have just bought a couple for my car.

(I am almost tempted to put them on ebay and see what they make, as parts often go for more than 'shop prices' :?)

Putting them on ebay is a great idea. Many Lotus owners, (and not just Elans,) may need this item. I've bought and sold more than a hundred Lotus items on eBay, more to provide a product than to make money. ( but the bucks ARE nice if it goes my way.) I know I'd bid on the badges, ah, first I have to see if there's that Sue Miller website available...

Moss Motors (www.mossmotors.com) also carries the proper headlight "dip" and "main" decals that occur on either side of the steering wheel turn signal enclosure, but you will find them under the Triumph Spifire heading in their catalog (they don't address Lotus parts per se). I too was in search of the proper decals for the Kangol seatbelts, and found that Sue Miller was the only source (that I could find), but she does not have a web site and must be reached by phone... she's very nice to deal with, even from across the pond.

R.D. Enterprises (www.rdent.com) also carries the proper airbox decal and fresh "Elan Sprint" stripes.

Talking about seatbelts, heres a poser, at the ends of the pull strap on the Kangol belts on my S4 are a plastic grip. These are secured by two small 'rivits'. Mine are broken. Does anyone know where I can get these? (unfortunately Sue Miller was unable to help).
