Kleynen 5 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 My Esprit is almost ready. I have a part left that I have no idea where it is coming from… Can anybody identify this mystery part? I have no clue… Thanks J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lotusfab 3,174 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Do recognise it. Closest part that shape I the throttle cable holder, but the end is different. Have you putvthe throttle cable part in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonwat 422 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 The serrated edges make it look home made. 1 Quote Cheers, John W http://jonwatkins.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
Kleynen 5 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yes, the throttle cable is in. But I don’t see exactly what this part has to do with it? I have the feeling the serrated edges are there on purpose. I don’t know... Maybe it is not that important. But during this restoration I am always worried of forgetting something essential. These details hold me up all the time… Could it be something of the ventilation mechanism?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverfrost 1,387 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 What is the size of the thing, can you do a picture to give it scale ? Quote A Link to post Share on other sites

The serrations remind me of the edges of my air conditioner compressor mounts. I think they are to regularly spaced to be hand cut. Could it be a backing plate for bolts going through something soft like fiberglass or plywood? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TAR 395 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I've no idea what that part is but I can tell you that Lotus do have parts with serrated edges. Some of the shims on the rear radius arms have that edging. Quote It's getting there...... Link to post Share on other sites
