Hi, Welcome to PH

but sadly I can't help you on this one.

Welcome to the home by the sea.

Sorry, but welcome and good luck

Check your chassis before buying anything. The top wishbone mounts are very delicate, bend that and it's really not worth fixing.

I'd suggest looking in one of the Lotus forums on this site/posting the same query there. Lots of knowledgeable/helpful people on here.

You can't race a house, but you can live in a car!

Unlucky though, check over on SELOC for more advice.

SELOC is the place to ask for sure, I know someone on there had more front clams than he knew what to do with and was wanting rid of some.

[jondude]

Clams are fairly often on e-bay...usually needing minor repair and not least a respray.

Agree that before you go on you should make sure the chassis is not damaged.

eBay is your friend here. Couple of clams on there at the mo and a set of wheels being sold as singles. In fact, there's an almost complete car being sold off bit by bit. Clams seems to sell for between £250 upwards secondhand,but then you have to go and collect this sizeable item or risk it with a courier. Add painting pretty much half the car and blending it in with the outher panels and it becomes and expensive accident.As said, try Seloc for parts. Good luck with the repair.

Try 'Junks' (Phil Peek) on seloc - I know he has a load of clams - and either him or 'Willb' are also likely to spare spare wheels floating around.
