Part number query

[philleech]

Having spent an interesting afternoon removing the instrument pod and dashboard I have discovered that the beam which goes across the car under the dashboard and bolts to each of the doors is very rusty. As I presume its providing strength to the doors the steering column and the car I am going to have to rplace or repair it somehow. I have gone through the parts manual and workshop manual but cant find a part number for it or even a name !

Can anyone shed any light on this for me

1977 S1

Cheers

The "79" in the part number says it does all models back to S1

Thanks gang! The A079 version is now a redundant part according to Aidan at the factory but having been to see my local Lotus Guru (Chris Foulds) The E079 version is still in stock so I have one on its way for under
