<div dir="ltr">It would be logical (if you can stretch your imagination enough to call anything about British engineering logical), that Lotus would use the same Lucas parts as all the other British manufacturers did.

<pre><span>In my continued quest for get my Lotus ready for spring travel, I'm <br>currently redoing the headlight buckets. There are two adjusters in each <br>bucket. On one of mine, both of the nylon (or plastic?) nuts that fit <br>into the headlight bucket are broken. Does anyone know if these are <br>available? I've checked the local parts stores and the ones that they <br>have are WAY too big.
