As you may have seen from my other thread, I took delivery of my 111r yesterday. Woohoo!

However, when I got it home, I found a rubber bung in the drivers footwell, down near the pedals. I have no idea what it's from or where it goes. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Here is what it looks like:



Thanks in advance!

would not worry I now have a collection of bits of bungs clips and widgets that have been found in and around the car - dont know what any are for but I keep them just in case something falls off one day.

Ahh that'll be one of those "mysterious 'thing' in footwell" thing-a-me-bobs that would.

Sorry, I'm not helping much am I Dad?

remove when weather is bad to let the water drain out of the cockpit.

That must be the test driver's stick - his knees are probably knackered getting in and out of all those Elises!

The photo makes it look bigger than it is. It's about 2cm across, max.

Is it a rubber bump stop for one of the pedals so that at full travel on clutch or accelerator the pedal does not scratch the footwell / overextend?

nah - pretty sure that is a spare screw cover. If you wish to see one on your own S2 elise take one of the front panels off - they cover the screws at either end. Admittedly you'll have to spend 6 years undoing the bastard screws, but hey!

nothing to worry about Im pretty sure.... (apologies if car now comes into component parts whilst driving!)

Ding ding! We have a winner!

Well done to CVP for correctly identifying the "thing". It was the bump-stop from behind the accelerator.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Wayhay - I've got something technical right for once! Glad I could help out

Still check the Elise board regularly as I miss the old beastie terribly.

Anyone here buy a Cobalt Blue S2 Sports Tourer from Adrian Blyth earlier in the year, reg staarted Y 104 ? I'd love to think he'd gone to a fellow Ph'er.

Chris, It was sold to a chap in Carshalton - to the best of my knowledge I've not seen him on PH.
