Hi i have a s2 111s and ive had a larini clubsport exhaust put on it just over a year ago and the exhaust mount / bracket has broken and i need some advice.

Is it a standard lotus one or a larini made one, not sure?

Ive spoken to lotus them selves and the person on the parts desk hasnt got a clue and hasnt bothered getting in touch. Rang back spoke to someone different and still dont know. Rang my local Lotus garage i get servicing done etc and same again. Its the drivers side bracket

Its stainless steel if that helps.

So here are the pics.

My Larni didn't come with any extra brackets so I would think that's a Lotus part.

looks an easy welding job to me.

Bracket went on my Janspeed one a year or so back, different geometry but also stainless, one of my mates who works on older cars for a hobby welded it up pretty easily, it only took us an hour or so to get it off, clean it and weld it. By the looks of that you'll need to fashion a new plate bit and weld that up onto the back of the existing plate
