Are you tired of constantly changing the exhaust side engine mount on your Lotus Elan or Lotus Elan +2?
Have you ever wondered why the exhaust side engine mount needs changing more frequently than the other side?
The answer is simple, the close proximity of the exhaust manifold slowly but surely cooks the rubber mounting.
Lotus Marques has manufactured a heat shield that solves this problem.
This simple but effective component presents a shiny polished surface that reflects the exhaust radiant heat.
This heat shield is a breeze to install on any Lotus Elan or Lotus Elan +2 and utilises the existing engine mount bolts.
This ensures the heat shield is secured correctly and will not vibrate thus causing fatigue failure.
The component has been carefully designed to be rigid and maintain an air gap that provides additional heat insulation.
Please note carefully: Bolts and spacers are not provide with the heat shield, but they maybe purchased separately.
Price $20.00 excluding GST ($22.00 including GST)
Installation advice
It is necessary to remove the engine mount and earth lead to install the heat shield.
The heat shield has been designed in such a way so as to impart strength to its final shape.
Cutting, slotting or modifying the heat shield in any way will compromise its integrity and will cause premature failure.
For future ease of replacing the engine mount it is recommended that the for existing bolts be replaced with suitable length studs and Nyloc nuts.
