My 2005 Elise got gently nudged in the rear at a stop light about a month ago. The other guy's insurance is covering everything no problem, working with my preferred shop who are the local experts on Lotus, so all of that is going fine. However, this evening the guy at the shop called me to tell me that they were having trouble finding a new rear clam. According to him (and my local Lotus dealer) the supplier who Lotus had contracted to make rear clams for them has folded and the supply has dried up while they're trying to figure out who is going to start making them again. They're telling me it may be several months before they can get one.
Anyone else who is (or has very recently been) looking for a rear clam for an '05 Elise been getting this same answer? Any suggestions from the faithful out there?
Thanks.
