Yes Simon, 134 it was. Well spotted. How's the build going? Barry

Couple of photos of me 😬 😬 Thanks Chris. Barry

Yes you're right Steve. Right out of engines - down to my last wet sump and a couple of camshafts. You had the last two a year ago 😬 😬 Viking Rover spares in Birmingham have got a VVC complete for £650. Barry

Oh no. Not the not enough oil trick again *eek* Barry

7/22 X 13 are crossplies not radials. The site gives radial sizes as well. Barry

If you go to www.avonracing.com you will find details of diameter, section, tread width, rim range and revolutions/mile for all sizes of slicks known to man. Barry

I've done the maths on the standard widetrack and it is not a falling rate as commonly claimed but is actually a rising rate (just). That said, Robert's is better although I doubt if I would notice the difference ☹️ ☹️ Barry

I played around with all sorts of arrangements and found that the best was for the crankcase breather to go into the rocker cover and for the breather from the rocker cover to go to the catch tank. This breathes well but does not deposit large amounts of oil in the catch tank. Barry

Graham, Not quite the same as Mike's was a VX race rollover bar made out of T45 and weighing about 8 kgs less than the FIA bar and the rollcage. Barry

As supplied by James Whiting. Any available please? Barry

Blimey, sounds as though it should be St Phil *wink* Barry

Great, many thanks. Barry

Thanks. Do you have a number for Phil and where is he based? Barry

It's getting rather noisy and probably needs a general overhaul. Any recommendations please for someone reliable to do the job? Thanks. Barry

Tom, You could ask Caterham. They look very similar with the exception of the change up light. Barry

I have now got the serial numbers as follows: Tacho - EET3-1A32-18B CATERHAM TACHO 71261 Speedo - ES3-1A32-00B CATERHAM SPEEDO 1255 Barry

Tom, It's August 2002 so would assume it's exactly the same. Martin, I think it's electronic but I'll double check this evening. Barry

New & unused K-series speedometer and tachometer (SVA friendly). (£70 for the speedo - SOLD ) and £60 for the tacho. Barry Edited by - barry.h on 6 Jan 2006 16:37:28

Sorry to disappoint you. No apathy, merely an unused k-series rev counter from 2002. I'm at work at the moment but can find more details if you need them this evening. Barry

Caterham lightweight alloy wet sump; battered and repaired but sound and oil tight (includes new sponge!!!) - £75 Barry

Hi, I've edited the original post to put suggested prices on. Have also found that the cams are 272 degrees duration with 459 thou lift (including clearance). Hope that helps. Barry

Many thanks to everyone who responded (I got flattened in the rush). Most have now been provisionally sold and I have amended the original post accordingly. Just the rear DITP carbon fibre wing remaining. Cheers, Barry
