Anyone know what nuts n bolts hold on the front clam of an S2 (2002) Elise? I'm taking mine off shortly to do the radiator and fan and I'd like to replace them with stainless if posible.

Muchos gracias.

You might find this page useful: http://wiki.seloc.org/a/Remove_S2_front_clamshell

The picture at the bottom seems to have a list of bolts used to hold it on, although their lengths are just listed as "long" or "short".

Stainless to ally use Duralac. You will need new plastic wheel arch screws and rawl nuts, as they wil probably be shagged. See link.

Thanks for all the help, I will invest in some duralac since it's not likely the front clam will be coming off again (I hope).
