WHERE can I find professional type Vinyl/fabric front wing protectors suitable for my +2S ? The type I always see in glossy magazine reports on restoration workshops, that are draped over the front wing/into the engine bay.

Whatâs wrong with an old blanket?
John
good point. The problem is that I havenât got any blanket crappy enough for the jobâŚ
If you can pinch one without SWMBO finding out itâll soon be crappy enough for the jobâŚ

Thor,

Bit annoyed they donât do one with a Lotus logo

Why no go to Matalan and get some towels? Dirt cheap and every size you could want!
Theres a set on ebay at the moment!!
work on the car naked âno scratches from sharp parts ed
Ed, I suppose that makes a heated garage a necessity in Canada?
Rather than cover the wings I use what are termed âclean condition suitsâ as used in aerospace or critical type environments inside rotating machinery such as turbines and generators (when not rotating!) The idea behind them is you canât inadvertently take anything in that can be dropped or fall out of pockets, and everything you do take into the controlled environment such as tools and measuring instruments is logged in and out.
Thatâs not a problem when working round the Elan but the big advantage is they are very soft cotton overalls with just a velcro fastened front with no pockets, buttons, zips or buckles to catch on anything. Dab some wax on the wings and the car gets a polish at the same time
martinâ not really âwe allow for shrinkageâ because-------- hes a lumber jack and he s ok ed
Thor, - the pain with the ones you can buy is that they are usually magnetic in order to hold on to the wingâŚ- doesnât work too well on an ElanâŚ

ah yes⌠some good ones here. I found some on the link with weights sown in rather than magnets, which obviuosly donât work too wellâŚ
I have a sneaking suspicion that if magnets worked on the wings so would the 50% non-working electrics, �?
Thor âthat the best lotus comment ever ----

I got one from Snap-on (avail. in red, black or blue) with snap on logo
and sticky rubber underside. for about 13 pounds and - no magnetsâŚ
(not shown in the online catalog - they are different light weight types,
more flexible)
Frost restoration also do them with either magnets or hooks
