I think it was also discussed in the past that the bolt itself, under
normal movement, will pivot and the end of the bolt will move around -
and beng held captive by this bracket may either affect the movement of
the rear arm (and I for one think there MUST have been some reason it
was done in this apparently poor way - Lotus is not known for making
mistakes in this sort of thing!) or simply not work at all.
I've done several sets of TABs and finding a strait OEM bolt is
somewheat of a novelty. Here'a an example
(that particular bolt was cut out, but is laid out in the photo in its
original shape)
As for price... well, I personally think $60 is damn good value for
insurance alone. How manu potentially dangerous design flaws can be
corrected with such a small and simple outlay?

PS We don't supply those bolts to the US.

Hi Shannon and all interested
Again, speaking of the bolt's quality - agreed. It's just a bit pricey
Speaking of the whole setup, well, let's say that it's not perfect. But what
you are suggesting (the bracket) looks like a joke.
