==Step by step guide== Guide for covering the opening by "''Simon back in an S1''". This fix was devised with input from Andy French of Lotus Cars. [[image:Evora footwell and gearbox tunnel draught - 1.jpg|right|thumb|100px]] '''1.''' Remove the fusebox panel in the passenger footwell and locate the relay box containing the purple relays. {{clr}} [[image:Evora footwell and gearbox tunnel draught - 2.jpg|right|thumb|100px]] '''2.''' Remove the four bolts holding the relay box in place and cut the zip tie holding the wiring to the bulkhead. Move the relay box out of the way. Black letterbox opening behind is the culprit of the draughts. {{clr}} [[image:Evora footwell and gearbox tunnel draught - 3.jpg|right|thumb|100px]] '''3.''' Andy recommended an ABS plastic panel to shut off the opening. However, I only had some thin balsa which I cut to 255mm x 85mm (letterbox spans an opening larger than is visible in the photos) and applied some tape to the back. Some small holes already in the balsa allows the recirc still to work. {{clr}} [[image:Evora footwell and gearbox tunnel draught - 4.jpg|right|thumb|100px]] '''4.''' Wiggle the panel through the gap behind the relay box and then Stick the panel in place over the opening. {{clr}} [[image:Evora footwell and gearbox tunnel draught - 5.jpg|right|thumb|100px]] '''5.''' I added some lagging I had to provide some extra insulation leaving only two holes in the panel uncovered for the recirc function. The holes aren't necessary if the recirc function isn't used. {{clr}} '''6.''' Replace the zip tie holding the wiring and bolt the relay box back in place. Replace fusebox aluminium panel. The motorway test drive revealed the absence of any draughts and that the cabin warmed up considerably faster. I'd recommend this simple mod to anyone experiencing draughts to the footwell or centre console area.
