I’m now on my third set for the front of mine. 240R wheels. Keep losing them on track.
Anyone got any tips on getting them to stay in place?
Duck tape is your friend whilst on track
Both my 111r and S2 Exige have lost the silver lettering from the centre caps, seem to last about two years
�10 each from your Lotus dealer.
I have lost mt 3rd set of front caps now!!!
was going to try a bit of thread lock (the blue one) gunked around the outside to see if it would hold them in when it goes hard … havent bought any new ones yet though to try it out
Blue tac works a treat
Dab of silicone on the inside?
it only seems to be the 240R wheels which have this problem
maybe its down to cooling and that wheels gets to hot.
I have no problem with the other Lotus forged wheel and do many track days with my wheel caps in.
Yes it only seems to be a problem with the 240R wheels. I never had a problem with the previous sets of wheels. The caps don’t seem to fit properly on the front. Its as if the hub sticks out far enough to prevent them seating properly. I wondered about skimming the back of the cap to see if I could get a better seat.
Was the blue tac solution serious? Not sure if you were pulling my leg?
Silicone would be worth a go, but I hate working with the stuff.
new ones now fitted
new ones now fitted
Where did you get them in the end ?
got ones of ebay there ok but will buy lotus ones next time
got ones of ebay there ok but will buy lotus ones next time
I noticed they were just the badges rather than caps… do you have to do anything special… The Lotus ones are more expensive, so I may also try the ebay ones…
you just peel old badge off cap and sick new one onto cap after cleaning up .they are a bit smaller than cap but they are ok they are sticky back so go on with no probs
