Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

I've put together images and a bit of video to show how I replaced the door hinge bobbins in my Elan S2. The technique is described in a document from Sue Miller (came with her parts list). Posted on YouTube:

Paul,

Many thanks. This is a task I must do when I rebuild my S3. Did you have to replace the bobbins inside the doors? I noticed mine are a little bit loose in the fiberglass.

Thanks.

No the bobbins in the door were fine. I guess you could use a similar technique to replace those bobbins as well.

Here's a PDF document with the bobbin replacement images:
