makepeace Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hi, I am looking for parts to do a manual conversion on my rhd S1 Elite. I already have a Getrag gearbox, looking for associated bits and pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXCEL V8 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've got a brand new clutch plate (but no clutch cover) for the Getrag 'box. Is the flywheel different to the Series 1? I also have a series 1 flywheel. I might have a pedal box in the lock-up as well. Postage to SA is going to be painful! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makepeace Posted June 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hi Pete, sounds great! Apparently the flywheel is different between S1 and S2. I am not sure on the practicalities. I am used to the pain of shipping to SA by now and have worked out some fairly bearable methods. I will be in touch with you via PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXCEL V8 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I saw that thread. I didn't know that the flexplate flywheel appeared so early on - I'd assumed it was only on the Excel. Every day is a school day! 🙂 Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdoom Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I am confident the flexplate ( 2 piece assembly ) was specified when Lotus found flex in the 2.2 stroke crank in need of mitigation, so if you're still at 907 2 litre capacity should be fine with the simple flywheel.

makepeace Posted June 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I am also looking for a bellhousing for the Getrag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
