One factor that influences a poorly adjusted handbrake on any Lotus Elan or Elan +2 is the limited access to the pad adjustment nut.
The adjustment nut (Lotus part number 036J6043) sits inside a recess within the rear caliper handbrake linkage.
The simplest way of making adjustments is by means of a long series socket attached to a suitable ratchet handle.
To make life easier when adjusting the handbrake, Lotus Marques has designed a taller nut in stainless steel that provides improved access.
By installing a taller nut, the handbrake can be adjusted by a ring spanner, open-ended spanner or a regular socket mounted on a ratchet handle.
The new nuts have been manufactured in stainless steel so they will not rust and become solid on the threaded adjustment rod.
The tight knurled pattern ensures a super fine adjustment when setting the pad friction face to disc distance.
