It would be logical (if you can stretch your imagination enough to call any=
thing about British engineering logical)=2C that Lotus would use the same L=
ucas parts as all the other British manufacturers did.  In which case=2C ta=
ke a look at eBay item # 151235376373=2C Lucas Headlamp Adjuster Kit BMH705=
8.  As used on classic Mini=2C and most MG's=2C Triumphs and everything els=
e of the same period.  When you've got a cheap plastic part that is guarant=
eed to break=2C why not use it on as many vehicles as possible?
Hope this helps.  Duff

Do the nuts need to be plastic? If not then that would open up your options=
. Otherwise perhaps somewhere like fastenal might be of help. They certainl=

I don't know what shape you need but maybe you could just cut a piece of sc=
