Hi there, I'm in the process of raising my steering rack to reduce bump steer. As a result the steering gaitors now just clip the top of the opening in the body. Any advice on how to cut the body to enlarge or raise this opening slightly? Thanks in advance, Tom

Hi there, I'm looking for one 13x6 Superlight wheel as the stud holes are oval on one of mine that I recently bought. Black would be ideal but not fussy on colour as these are a spare set of wheels. Thanks in advance. Tom

Quoting SM25T: Also .... a new fan switch is cheap. Get things working properly first. If a k-series ..... do the cooling system mod from LF article in September 2012 ... I have a pdf version if you want it e.mailed. Change thermostat from std 88C to 82C It is indeed a K series. A PDF would be much appreciated, email is hello[at]tomperkins[dot]me

Quoting Myles: The original Chris W articles are still on my site http://alcester-racing-sevens.com/chris_w_-_electrickery.htm - as is a write up of how I find it (somewhere). The switches & relays edition is what you wasn't. Thanks Myles, I've just mocked that up using a relay and a switch that I have that has a built in LED. It seems to be working (the switch activates the fan) but there's one strange thing... The LED is ON when the switch is OFF and the LED then goes OFF when the switch is ON. I'm using piggyback connectors on the rad switch, then wiring the relay as shown in your diagram. From there I'm connecting terminal 86 on the relay to the ON terminal on the switch. The switch then has an OFF terminal that I'm wiring to ground and also a ground terminal on the side that I'm also wiring to ground. Please excuse me if my description is not the best, I'm not an expert when it comes to electrics. Any ideas on how to get the light behaving correctly?

Quoting RS2000: Right at the bottom of Myles' page here Also check the connections on the switch at the radiator, mine had corroded and made intermittent contact meaning sometime the fan kicked in and sometimes it didn't Thanks for everyone's input. The reason for adding one is to offer a manual override until I can find the real problem (couldn't stand to stop driving the car as I love it). RS2000, you make a very good point. The problem is that sometimes the fan kicks in and sometimes it doesn't. It could well be corrosion is the issue as when I disconnected the wires from the rad switch and tried to touch them together to test the fan, it was quite hit and miss as to whether I made a connection or not.

Hi there, I'm looking to wire in a cooling fan override switch as described in this thread (http://www.blatchat.com/t.asp?Id=61905). Sadly the links to a guide and diagrams no longer work. Anyone got a guide or diagram they could point me to please? Thanks, Tom

After a little scrape with a Welsh wall I'm now in urgent need of a drivers side rear wing. The reason it's urgent is that I'm due to attend the Caterham Club handling day on Saturday at Dunsfold. Colour doesn't matter, any help will be appreciated!
