Cast Aluminium Body Bobbin
Anchors.
Your Search For These Hard
To Find Items Is Over!
The Lotus elan body
to chassis anchor points consist of unique shaped
bobbins which are embedded into the fibreglass body at
the strategic points, sand-cast alloy bobbins have superior
resin bonding characteristics than their die cast cousins.
The bobbins are of oval shape with a top and bottom flange, the
unique oval shape prevents the bobbin from rotating &
delaminating in the fibreglass. Bobbins are designed
to absorb omnidirectional loads, IE, loads from all directions,
properly embedded & bonded bobbins are very
strong, and provide sound anchor-location points.
The bobbins on the elan
are normally threaded and supplied with; 1/4"-
5/16"- 3/8"- 7/16" UNC threads, but they can also be
clearance drilled to the required size which allows the
fastening bolt to pass through both bobbin &
chassis to be retained with a suitable lock
nut.
The source of the original die cast
bobbins has virtually dried up, the bobbins that elantrikbits
supplies are sand cast alloy and replicate the original
bobbin form. We can now supply the enthusiast elan owner
with raw cast alloy bobbins for a very reasonable price, the
picture below shows unfinished (Raw) alloy bobbins as well as
finished. The raw bobbin is drilled
and taped with the correct thread form & size, most
owners should be capable of performing this most basic of
workshop operations, or know someone who can. If you would
prefer to order a set of bobbins with the
correct thread form, then please contact us to
discuss.

Bobbins - Supplied As Finished Or Unfinished
Items.
A detailed installation
instruction sheet is also supplied with each customer order
to enable the most effective bonding procedure to be carried
out, there are several things that the installer must be
aware of for the best possible installation
outcome.
Because of their small size, postage
costs are not great. The small casting production
runs also dictate that the bobbins be packaged
for purchase in lots of six items, you will find it an
advantage to hold spare items in your workshop, even if you only
require two or three bobbins for a repair job. Purchasing the bobbins in lots of six helps to
reduce the production cost and allows us to pass on the
saving to you, the customer.
