Tony Lotus Service notes state that the change was made in November 99 with the earliest Exige July 00, they should all be OK.

So are you saying that according to the service notes that all post November '99 Exiges have steel uprights Steve? While I’m happy to accept what you are saying, it seems to contradict the impression I’ve been given by Lotus Motorsport. [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/confused.gif[/image]

[image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/confused.gif[/image]Tony - sorry missed your post - I am only going on what is says in the book…from my short time of knowing Lotus I would definitely not say this to be authoratitive! They seem to find stocks of old parts lying around all the time and just incorporate them into the production line builds…I even heard about modified rear subframes getting into production without design engineers knowing about it!I guess the only way to know what you have is to get underneath and get your hands dirty…
