I'm toying with using Edwards for modifications to mine. Good to hear another recommend them

The two items that fit either side of the screen? If so I have a pair in fair condition that I'd be looking to part with. I've put them in a safe place, and yes I can't recall where that safe place is at the moment, but will have a look on Monday

replied, many thanks

I have one pair of Avon ZZR 215/55/13 road legal trackday tyres available I have decided to stick to my current 205 tyre and as such they are surplus to requirements. 6mm of tread over the whole width of both tyres. No cuts, splits or other damage. They have been stored in black bags in the garage and can be accurately described as "lightly used". Date manufacture code is 37 week of 2017. So not an old tyre by any means. Offers around £100 the pair please plus postage. Price new are approx £130 each. Tyres are in Cambridge (or Ely/Newmarket region). but I work at Heathrow mid week so could meet somewhere along the A1M/M25/M11 corridor if that helps. Many thanks

I've used both Chris of the 7 workshop but also have been using Luke at Team Leos in Newmarket,

Yes, either Chris or perhaps call Luke at Team Leos in Newmarket, but both are busy I imagine. I've used both with great results.

that HPC nose badge made £80+!

to be honest I can't recall the filter type itself, it was fitted as per that photograph before (or after) the oil cooler to a mocal remote filter housing. My current 7 is dry sumped but is a c20xe engine not sure if any pictures of that would help. However does the below image help, grabbed it from google!

Cheers Chris, a post on the hillclimb FB page has located a B&B. Just need to look at the complexities of attending.

my old crossflow had the oil filter situated remotely in front of the carbs within the nose just prior to the (or after, can't recall the direction of flow) oil cooler. It was a mocal remote filter housing. I have a picture so will post once I get the idea on how to upload to this forum.

how quirky is this place? Also it says entries close on the 16th June 2018, the day of the event! Plus does anybody drive there or do you all trailer your car? And any places to stay overnight that could be recommended?

I know a complete set in excellent condition however the owner is in Denmark, £450 the 4 c/w CR500's, he could help with packing but I'm not sure on postage costs. Can send over some details if that of any use.

OK this is the info I had from a chap who did this to his SV "The threaded boss is 32mm vertically down from the top of the horizontal chassis tube (not the plastic trim) and 2mm rearwards from a vertical line drawn from the intersection of the same horizontal chassis tube and the angled chassis tube to which the dashboard panel is fixed. Verify with magnet and drill small pilot hole."

I'll be doing the same over the course of the next few days. I have some general dimenions somewhere so will look those out and share that as soon as i find them

Tazio, good call, took me ages to locate mine, found 2 being sold by the same person although one is in a bad state, who can I contact to do enamel restoration? One on ebay, just sent you a pm

thanks all.

so what would be needed for throttle bodies? I take it the same principle applies.

I'm just about to sign for Rockingham, just making sure the date is free. I've already signed for both Curborough dates. I'm driving the car there as well.

How many do we number? I'm cherry picking the events I can do due to work and family stuff but be good to know what events others are doing.

ah great stuff, single diagonal, 94 vintage. I'll start making some calls then but I need to check the leg under the boot cover! Thank you both, info much apreciated

Hi all Does any part of my 7 need an FIA sticker showing to take part part in the speed championship? I have a correct track day roll bar and I have a petty strut, but neither have the sticker. Am I doomed from the outset? Thanks

Thanks Richard, not sure if I have an issue then, I am hoping to take part in some of the speed championships the club do, and neither my strut OR the roll bar have this sticker applied, the Petty struts I have access to, one has a sticker but one doesn't (the one in my garage doesn't) and for Arch/Caterham cars etc to confirm the details they need the original batch number/receipt number? Considering my car is 24 years old as is the equipment I can't get confirmation of that. So like I say, I'm not sure if I have an issue or not? Best ask a question on the right forum I reckon.

do these need to have an FIA sticker attached?

The PO doesn't keep his 7's for long, enjoyed then passed onto another hence why it was up for sale about 18mths after he bought it. At £20k personally I think its value isn't far off. Maybe £21.5k is a little too far but that must have negotiating costs built in? No doubting what the seller is trying to do but does that mean its over valued or did Mike under sell it because he wanted to move it on quickly? Thing is with the Millwoods 7 (if I am thinking of the same 7 as that is also shown as a Williams car), isn't there something odd regarding whether thats a 'genuine' HPC or not, or 'just' a c20 engined Caterham 7? Being a P registered car and marked as a 40th anniversary 7 and having the handbrake on the tunnel does tend to work against it. If so (and the colour probably played against it as well) then maybe that was the value of that one where as Mikes old one has had a lot done to it and its a fantastic car. Just going by the pictures of the Millwoods 7, Mikes looks to be in far better condition (interior wise especially) But admittedly its not for me, I liked it in the guise I last saw it in April last year, but the market for good cars does move pretty quickly. Looking at the black HPC thats available today (or was at Millwoods) that was up for £24k? But question is, would I swap my HPC for either of these (Millwoods sold one or Mikes) the answer is, no I wouldn't.
