CocoPops 826 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 I bought the cargo retrofit kit from Lotus. It comes with some jacknuts (that compress when tightened) but I need to know where to drill holes for them to be located. Anyone have any pics or details? Are there markings under the carpet? (Guess I could go look!)

CocoPops 826 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 OK, I've now looked at the car... There are no clues or telltale marks in carpet or clam for where the locating lugs go for the cargo net.

CocoPops 826 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 Nope, I think only premium pack cars came with it. The retrofit has a lotus accessories part code (net and fixings).

CocoPops 826 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks, that's a bit more useful. So, in the kit I have 4 jacknuts (that the plastic T fixings bolt to, using m5 screws) and 2 P clips that have M6 screws. The P clips, I assume, go at the bottom to form the closed bottom (all edges are elastic, there is no rail) but the M6 screws have no fixings, so I'm hoping (need to look at car again) that there are some existing M6 holes in the car that they use... Does seem odd that Lotus supply it as a "retrofit kit" with an "Accessories" part number, but supply no documentation.

CocoPops 826 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 OK, getting there... Pics to follow, but it appears that the two P clips using M6 fixings, use 2 of the 3 M6 bolts at the bottom of the aluminium inspection panel.

the83man 35 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 I've just had my cargo net out. All the fittings are fairly obvious, I think. On my car the two to the nearside are ftitted to the LH end of the battery cover and the two on the offside are mounted into fixing holes that will automatically line up once the LHS is in place. This fixings on mine are captive rubber mounted threads to take the bolt on the cargo net holder. Hope that helps Quote Mike S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Russell.Rhodes 0 Report post Posted January 1 I know this an old thread, but as I've just ordered the Cargo Net kit for my 2010 Evora I still have a few questions. Did you end up having to drill holes, or were there existing holes to use? Also any chance of reposting the CAD pdf as the link doesn't seem to work anymore Cheers Russell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
