Due to the electric converison the original driveshaft can’t be used. It has a bracket that attaches to the original engine. So I had to find out which one would fit my Elise. A visit to a workshop where they had the PG Elektrus in for repair solved my problem.

The PG Elektrus is based on the Lotus Club Racer.

The drive shaft in the PG Elektrus still had the label with partnumber on it. It showed B120D4004F which is correct for an Elise CR. I now know why the drive shafton my car failed, it is designed to cope with 136 BHP and 160Nm (118lb ft) instead of the 200 BHP and 225Nm (165 lb ft) of the AC-150.

I 0rdered the drive shaft en found out that my car had an early model A120D4004F drive shaft. the new one B120D4004F has different CV joints.
