A7 OOH

Sounds good

I will be lowering my 7" headlights when my new brackets arrive.

What connectors do I need to obtain- (2005 K series) in advance and am I correct in assuming the lamps are connected to the main loom by a 6 way econoseal unit.

Is the connector fitted to the lamp wiring a Male or Female?

Do I need to buy a new complete unit(M/F) or will buying new connector pins  and seals suffice, and what colour seals will i need.

I understand it can be a job fitting the new econoseal unit any advice appreciated

Hello Neil

Put me down for a set

Sound good to me, I intend to retain my 7" units. My car is wide track.

Its even better to know that if one does change from 7 to 5's the brackets can be retained.

Look forward in the new year to the new production run.

Nick is that with the Caterham or local manufacture brackets

Good to hear Nick

Yes they do Ian, when I look down the light from above it appears there is not a lot of room before the light would contact the nose cone, unless the new brackets (either the Caterham units or the ones made by 7 Wonders) move the lights more central?

Once parked next to a 911 at Goodwood with A7 WOW

The headlights look very close to the nose cone, what sort of clearance are we looking at? 

I am interested will follow new post

Thanks Geoff

Is lowering 7" Headlights (2005 model) a simple matter of removing the existing brackets and replacing them with low headlamp wishbone brackets. 

Will there be sufficient clearance between the headlamp and the noise cone?

Are any wiring mods required?

Model year 2005, prefer unit to be always on.

Thanks I will have a diagram Johnathan.

I will check out boot.

Can anyone tell me how the electrical cables are routed, I seem at a loss in tracing them, I want to cable tie onto existing when running new cable to allow the fitting a 12 v socket at the rear of the car

Thanks

Thanks John - these are my wheels

Nice to know they also 13" 8 spoke

Thanks - happy I can now put a name to my wheels Colloquially speaking

Thanks for that I will check the forging marks.

I dont actually want Orcas just using as a referance.

What are my wheels called as they no longer appear on the Caterham Parts list

Sorry for small picture wheels are 10 spoke if that helps

Can some one tell me what wheels are fitted to my car (see picture) Invoice lists them as R300/R400/CR500?

They are 15" but what is the rim width?. Are they compatable fixing wise to the ORCUS 15"

No problems with cable runs, I run concealed USB cables (easy in a 7) with the correct end connector for the Go Pro.

HOWEVER  a GoPro will not give the same functions as a dash cam in terms of detection shunts when you leave the car etc

I use Next Base Dash Cams with Mag mounts in my other cars and on dry days I have use these in the 7 with a windscreen mount but there is the theft element if left exposed which you would want from the dash cam if you had a parking shunt.

Next Base used to do a waterproof bike camera which for some reason they discontinued.

I suppose it depends what you aim is, for me the Go Pro records my journeys and what other cars around me are doing so at least if there is an incident I do have a record of events- even it is my fault

Thanks Midas

Looks fine, and with the 70 profile the arches  fill in well.

Like you a run the Rain Expert 3 in 195/45/15 format and have had no problems in normal and very wet conditions - however I do regulate my driving style to maintain grip

Hello Dennis

Two options

1 On my rear camera (Hero 3 old style) I just remove it from its water proof enclosure, the front one it unclips it from the slide in mount either on the windscreen or aero and take away. They are so small they fit in your pocket. You can even use them as a normal camera if you want.

2 Or leave them fitted - if I leave the car I put on the shower cap they are hidden.

Never had a problem

I run  with two Go Pro camera's running via power leads to give power when the car is in use

The rear camera is fitted to a roll bar mount (rear facing) and the front is fitted to a mount in the Centre of the aero screen- both work a treat and are fully waterproof

Thanks Food for thought
