Lee,
After owning a few Lotus cars I assure you these parts are made specific to t=
he task. Many nylon parts are used to prevent things like excessive stress t=
o fiberglass parts etc. to source these parts try companies dedicated to Lot=
us cars like Dave Bean engineering in California.
Cheers,
Rob
