My sister-in-law arrived from LA today with more bits for the Elan.
Lightened CV joints, 172.5gm lighter than standard. They have 4130 chromoly cages and hardened inner/outer races.
This saves 690 grammes of rotating mass. (which is equivalent to the performance improvement of removing approx 6Kg from the car's non-rotating mass).
Bringing them over from the States saved me approx £100.
I can now sell my unused standard joints.
