superdavelotus 124 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 The only place was Lotus as the manufacturer longed stopped making them I think they are even obselete from Lotus now. Only option is used Iam afraid... Dave Walters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andydclements 749 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 They were in the sale last year, so there may be a few people willing to sell one. I purchased one as a spare, I'm due to replace all the fittings on mine and was concerned it wouldn't take much to cause it to shatter. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

superdavelotus 124 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I used to supply the Cf roofs moulded from a glass roof. I gave my mould to PNM Engineering. This was moulded from a Stevens galss roof. The G car is slightly flatter ad the front corners. I reckon it's a 98% match but corners will dip in a bit.
