Have decided to go with AP .
The local importer has them sitting in stock and was prepared to do a very good deal. Its not often that any parts are avail in NZ , so feels good, for a change, to support a local business.
95% of the parts I require have been imported , so for once no freight charges !!
Ended up buying a kit for both my cars ...2-11 and Elise..
6 x AP3985 -230 EV - 230mm stroke with Exhaust valves so that the cars descends at the same rate.
2 x AP 6116-3 Connector Valve and AP6116-5 Lance . These allow for the Lance to be removed once that car is up and it will not lose pressure [ car will not descend] Also possible to adjust height with the bleed on the connector valve .. Exhaust valve will allow each jack with descend at the same rate and keep the car level at any height.
Have been in contact with Lotus UK re Air Jack mounting kit , but unfortunately no response , so will most likely look to fabricate something similar here.
Front
Rear
Will plumb it up using AN6 Fittings and some good quality hose that I have yet to source
Plumbing will look something like the Lotus setup , but not 100% convinced connector will be at the rear of the car . Prefer to mount the connector so that it will not get in the way of removable clams etc.
Safety props are still to be procured and possibly Elephants feet...
Will keep this thread updated over the next couple of weeks .
