Z3MCJez Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 > The sill protectors 😔 My 2p worth: 1) Get a new 4mm drill bit for this 2) Make sure you drill relatively slowly with pressure 3) Don't try and drill through the sill protector while it's in place - instead: mark position of holes (10), remove, make an indentation in the middle of each mark, drill 4) Replace and put rivets in place (I got 7/10 in when I finally got the sill in the right place, which took 4 attempts in its own right!) 5) Complete drill-out of remaining holes (while in situ) I used this method for the second sill protector. The first, I tried to drill in situ. After 4 holes I gave up (2 of which I had to enlarge to 5mm later). Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 crash+head+cage=death, even if padded. or with out cage just roll bar crash+head+ othercar body/floor/post/ tree/ kerb/ other solid object = death You crash one of these little cars, it's more luck than anything else if you walk away safely. Mind you , the same could be said of most convertable cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Interesting, I wonder if Caterham have any accident stats of different types of Caterham configuration? - not that they'd probably tell us!

BYKer Will Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Can you really fit a windscreen with an slr cage? If so I think I will go for one at some point Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 here is a poor photo of an SLR and screen. Richard Ince and Austin used to race in the JCC series with a screen and half doors - in fact that may be their car ?. But yes it does fit, but as I said earlier, the problem is that the doors dont open. But then again you can always leap over the top of the cage here is C7 TOP Taffia joint AO with Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BYKer Will Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks Dave. Must admit I wrongly assumed it was impossible as I had never seen slr with a screen. Anyone one got a spare one gathering dust? Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
