Hi

Try trade suppliers of bearings such as SKF/RHP in the yellow pages under bearing stockists.

All you need is either the old bearing or the part number.

Much cheaper than Lotus specialists!

Outer bearings are SKF 6206-2RS or equivalent, the most common bearing in the world I think and available everywhere from any bearing supplier

Inner bearings are a little harder to find. They used to be in SKF kit 2737 in Australia which was the pair of rear axle bearings for a range of cars and included spacers that you did not use. Last time I bought some, my usual SKF supplier could could not supply the kit and ordered in bearings for me from FBJ part number 411546R.

The inner bearings have following dimensions if trying to track down

OD 62.00 mm
ID 29.96 mm
width of outer race 21.00 mm
width of inner race 23.95 mm
with rubber seals both sides
