    http://caterhamsevenbuild.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/day-18-lads-brakes-clutch-hubs.html ('p' clips IVA reference) Google "handbrake cable 'p' clips caterham 7" for various contradicting references to how it should be done. The BMW diff seems to have a carrier with a suitable clipping point that the Ford diff doesn't have. The Caterham diagram pictured above shows the cable tied to the 'A' frame - item number 3.

    Later manuals seem to suggest that the cable is mounted to the diagonal chassis member and mounted using double 'p' clips. The earlier manuals suggest using cable ties to the 'A' frame member. I understand that you can't cable tie the handbrake cable for the SVA test. I've reverted it back to the cable tie variant and I think it now misses everything, and given the limited suspension travel of a 7, there shouldn't be any problems. I can't decide whether this is part of the fun of owning a Caterham, or whether I'd be happier with something where things just work. For a few quid, some sensible brackets could have been provided by Caterham. Thanks, Mat.

    I took the boot board off my 2010 SV and noticed that the RHS handbrake cable was slightly rubbing on the driveshafts. I've played around with various positions but it always seems to end up touching something e.g. the brake pipe 't' piece attached to the de-dion tube. Is there a correct way to mount the cable so it's in free space? Thanks.

    Can anyone suggest a source of air filters for the Sigma 150 engine. Caterham parts are 'out of stock.' Thanks, Mat.

    ...I'm sure it's been discussed a lot in the past, but after owning a Sigma 150 engined car for about 5 months. I've just had the throttle bodies balanced and the throttle position sensor adjusted..... and the difference is AMAZING. The car is a lot easier to drive at part throttle in low gears, and I think the power output is noticeably higher. The mapping remains unchanged with the original ECU. I'd love to know why Caterham didn't make a better job of setting them up when newly built or do they move out of optimal setup easily?

    as per the subject, does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 2009 Sigma Roadsport SV150? There's a loom drawing in the assembly guide, but it doesn't allow individual wiring connections to be easily traced like some of the diagrams available on the web for K series engined cars. Thanks. Mat.
