Thanks for the message, Alistair. This does indeed sound interesting and I'll
hereby forward the information to the Lotus Elan list and the Lotus Elite list
(or at least, one of it's members since the "list" is informal)/
Although wobbly webs preceded Elans, I think several Elan owners would be
interested... I for one. I have seen a couple of Elites so equipped and they
really looked good, as well as having a sideways link with originality (wobbly
webs being vintage in their own right).
