Lotus Question(sorry)

["Rod L. Wiggins" <rwiggins@rs6000.baldwinw.edu>]

  I apologize for posting a non-audi question, but you guys are my last hope.
 I'm trying to find some steering rack parts for a 77 lotus esprit S1.
 
1. does anyone know what car lotus sourced this rack from ( iv'e heard 
Opel ascona (sp) but this doesn't seem right)

2. does anyone know who might have this info?
  
3. does anyone know the address of the British lists? (Iknow there's 
gotta be one somewhere)

Sorry again, but i've tried everywhere thought perhaps one of you could 
help. I seem to recall some past/current lotus owners on this list so I 
figured it was worth a shot... Thanks.
