Hello chaps, can anyone shine a light on eye bolt spring on rear hand brake mechanism on a 72 +2.Are they normally fitted as I have never had any and have seen pictures lately, hence the question.Thanks Steve
Hi Steve,
The spring is not an original fitment but a common addition to help hold-off and centralise the pads and reduce wear … you still need the centralising strips fitted and correctly adjusted.
Kelvedon Lotus list the spring and the other suppliers probably have them too…
