At wits end. 2005 Federal Elise throttle cable snapped at pedal. Not enough slack to fix as is. I've been looking for anyone that has a salvage for this part in the states. Checked all the dealerships and they say its a back order part that I have to wait on for a month or two from the Queen Mum. Is there anyone that has this part: A120J0007F OR can I use another throttle cable from a different car?
I would really appreciate any help at this point.

It takes 4 days from phone call to door from the UK to Australia.
As the US is a bit closer, it should not be another month.

I would call Ian or Geary... The +44 is "01144" from the US to get to the UK, then you drop the first zero in their number.
It is coming in morning there as I type. (chop-chop)

My Elan needed a push/pull cable which was NLA.

I bought piano wire from a piano repair shop and brazed the cable together.

BUT, I'd don't know what this throttle cable looks like, so not sure if this would work for you.

I had my parts department check on this part and Lotus is telling us that they have them in stock at the warehouse here in the US. If you want more information give my Parts Manager Robert a call at 941.308.5141. We're Southpointe Lotus in Sarasota, FL. I hope we can help you out.

Have you tried www.lotusgarage.com? They have been good for me with other stuff. It is listed on there for about $140. Below is the link to the correct page:

Did you try calling Rob at Dietschwerks in San Jose California?

Flow Lotus guys out of Salem Winston NC ordered the part and I'm getting it delivered tomorrow. It's been a 2 week process of searching and finally getting it all sorted out but those boys at Flow are awesome!
Thanks for all the good feedback. Much appreciated!!!
