Just recived the below e-mail from Lotus. Just need to get the dealers to do it!
Dear Mr. Rapley,
Update 2005/02 (part number A120T0327/05/02) to manual A120T0327J included
the following information:
\
Adjustment
Throttle cable:
- The pedal is pulled against a rubber buffer on a steel upstop
bracket by an extension spring. - Adjust the cable outer length at the engine end abutment bracket to
allow 2 - 3mm of pedal movement before the throttle is actuated. - Set the downstop in the pedal footpad such that vigorous full
depression of the pedal achieves full opening of the throttle butterfly
without allowing the cable to be strained. - An alternative pedal position which may be preferred for ‘heel and
toeing’ may be achieved by replacing the rubber upstop buffer with a M5x15
hex. head setscrew, with three flat washers beneath the head for a total
thickness of around 7mm. The cable must then be re-adjusted at the engine
abutment as above. The footpad downstop bolt should then be replaced by an
M8x20 setscrew and reset as above.
Brake pedal:
- The pedal is pulled ‘off’ by an extension spring anchored to a
bracket rivetted to the scuttle beam. - There is normally a gap of approximately 3mm between the brake pedal
and the pedal box upstop flange with the pedal released. If preferred, the
brake pedal can be raised slightly by adjusting the effective length of the
pushrod at its connection to the clevis, but the master cylinder must never
be preloaded, i.e. there must always be a small clearance between the pedal
and upstop bracket to ensure that the master cylinder piston is allowed
fully to return and open the reservoir port. - After any adjustment, tighten the clevis locknut and check operation
of the brake light switch.
I hope this information helps.
