  yanix!!

The stripes from the factory were 3/16" gold tape. It should be available at most places that sell car paint and equipment or at a body and paint shop.  You should also be able to find it at Amazon or eBay.

Well that's her back on the road.........for 100 miles brilliant experience........slowing down to take a turn selected 2nd and wallop ........Lost all gears.....Pulled the gearbox and she broke the Rocking lever shaft.....so over to Richard at Banks and he's also found that the 1st syncro gear had lost it's pin and was loose and that is hopefully whats causing the rasping noise when in neutral....Oh the Joys of LOTUS

Disagree, that's just the Joy of 50 Year Old Vehicles.

Glad it's just a simple fix.
