Lotus Service Notes
Bonding of rear bulkhead: The rear bulkhead panel is positioned by reference to the rear seat belt mounting
frame, and should be fitted only as a jig built assembly of bulkhead and frame.
Clean the mating surface on the bulkhead with Betaclean 3900 (black cap) and prime with Betaprime 5404
(red cap) or, where applicable, use Betawipe 4000 to re-activate old adhesive (refer to sub-section BU.5). Clean
the mating surface on the chassis with Betawipe VP 04604 (yellow cap), and prime with Betaprime 5404 (red
cap), or with Betawipe 4000 to re-activate old adhesive. Apply a bead of Betaseal 1701 to the bonding path on
the chassis, and fit the bulkhead/frame assembly into position by securing the frame with its four bolts to the
extruded brackets which form part of the chassis tub. If necessary, apply additional adhesive into the joint and
use a spatula to remove any excess extruded adhesive and to smooth any visual areas.
The rear bracing struts should then be shimmed as necessary to avoid corrupting this position. The stays
connecting to the front seat belt mounting frame should then be similarly shimmed.
