===Headlamp seals===

==S1==

The headlamp seals are available from Lotus under part number A111U0166K, though sadly they are £12.50 each.

The seals are made of lengths of 10mm diamater solid neoprene pipeing, superglued end to end
to make a giant O-ring.

The internal diameter of this ring should be 133mm, this will then be slightly tensioned
on the lip of the headlamp shell which is 143mm in diameter.

The raw material for these is available here

You can remove the headlamp shells without removing the wheel on an S1
as there is just enough clearance to do this with the wheel in place (on standard ride hight shocks).
The wheel arch liner can be tucked behind the wheel if the wheel is turned full lock towards the side
where you are working, this gives enough clearance to undo the three plastic wing nuts that hold the
headlamp in place. The bulbs must be removed if the headlamps are to be removed in order to give clearance.
