Thanks for a very informative video. It’s a job I would not have taken on if not for this.

Great video! You are very meticulous with your work! I recently did this on a wrecked Exige that I bought. Getting the old box off was a lot of work, more than mounting the new one.

Thanks for going to all this trouble to record your work. Your record is really helpful to me as I disassembled my car some years ago, and I am only just putting it back together now. The clam removal video was really good for reminding me all of the attachments. I haven't needed to do a crash box, and I hope I never will. Great to have this reference if its ever needed.

When using a level one should turn it around and check any discrepancy in the level itself if there is simply halve the error.

Btw i love your videos :-) just noticed the differince on the mounting

Great video Steve 😄

i cant get over this why didn't they just install 4 aliment holes for this. for something so important they really have left alot of room for error. Very good work on your behalf. Where did you get all the info? IM new to lotus and would like to know where to get the factory workshop manuals and parts catalogue .

For the crash box you mounteded it on top of the side brackets and not below and inside of the side brackets. The side brackents were the ones you drilled out the rivets on. You can see that in you video on removal of the crash box.

Hi,

First time I noticed that the car is RHD; will you consider rebuilding it to LHD as well in this project? That would be very interesting to see 👍

why do i need to know this

Hi Steve, back in 2011 Lotus started compiling a 135R Register and we're requesting owners contact them with current details and whereabouts. I'm sure they would appreciate knowing about yours now. They can also tell you what they already know about your car.

why in hell didn't lotus just install alignment marks like every other part thats installed on a car lol
