WTB: Rear Anti-Rattle Spring for Elise/Exige - LotusTalk

toedrag · 08-27-2009, 10:53 PM

In the process of installing new brake pads, I managed to snap off one end of a rear anti-rattle spring, and of course, it doesn't seem to be sold separately unless in a kit with OEM Pads for $200. Please don't make me buy a $200 spring.

If you have a spare rear anti-rattle spring, I would like one please. I need the piece which the yellow arrows point to. Technically, it's still drivable because only about 1/2" snapped off from the L-shaped end at the top of the photo, so the pin still goes through both holes in the spring. But, I'd prefer a spring that is fully intact. Picture courtesy of SandsMuseum below:

Can you get me dimensions of that spring? I may be able to get a hold of one for you.

There is a chance that the spring is AC Delco p/n 18K903...I'll get one and report back.
