Paul 160

One possible advantage of the bobbin is if the mount takes a hit. I don't know how but I took a knock to my rear exhaust mount pushing it almost parallel with the ground and pretty much folding the bobbin at right angles. At first glance you didn't notice it because the exhaust was still in same place. I'm not sure what would have happened if it weren't a bobbin, maybe torn the whole thing out the body? It might be something to think about though I still can't quite work out how it happened in the first place..! Paul.

Hi Jonathan, I'd be interested in a couple of canisters and a couple of black bags. Thanks, Paul.

Thanks. These will look a lot better than the stickers I've currently got. Paul.

I like the switch labels you've got. Did they come with the new dashboard or somewhere else? Paul

Hi, with my 160 I have to wait for about 5 seconds for the fuel pump (I presume that's what it is) to go quiet before pressing the start button. Pressing it before that does nothing. The increased speed of the led I believe means the immobiliser is disarming. It should go normal slow flashing, fast flashing then off. If it doesn't stop flashing are you getting the fob close enough to the key barrel when turning the key? Paul.

Forgot to say the reason I did it this way is that this strip has tabs on the back which nicely fit the tail of the p clip so I think it gives a clean install. I also have a wire running on the underside of one of the diagonals using black duck tape to fix it. You wouldn't know it was there unless you looked hard.

Loads of older posts about it. Mine it uses the Caterham sub loom, a 48 or 60 led strip (can't remember which fits between the rollbar diagonals) from Car Builder Solutions plus two of their P clips to mount it and a waterproof connector (pack from Amazon was cheapest). There is also a guide in the How To section. Fitted it looks like this on my car: Paul.

At 8:25 this morning. Going up the hill towards the A47 roundabout across the road from the Norwich Longwater Sainsbury's.

Hi DRH, as mine was such a pain to get to I just wrapped it in tape by feel. I'm afraid I don't know how it disconnects but I'd guess that it is a sealed unit and you would need to trace the wires back into loom. Hi Jonathan, I couldn't find that old post either. My car is a 2016 160. I'm pretty sure that other post with the beeper behind the speedometer was from a different recent model. Thanks for tidying up my photo, photo editing on my phone is not great. Paul.

On my car it is behind the speedometer. It looks like this: Paul

Osram do the night breaker bulbs. Could it be those ones? You should need H4 I've seen the night breaker bulbs mentioned a few times on here but never used them myself. Paul

I read through quite a few old forum posts last summer and they convinced me to do it. I actually used Dinitrol which people suggested was easier to apply - I found it really easy to spray into all the little gaps around the car. Paul.

Hi Jonathan is it a lot off the minimum order size? I'm in no rush to get one of the tool tubes but I did stumble across this site selling them and was tempted to order one http://www.adventure-spec.com/default/tools-adventure-spec-tool-tube.html Though at £16 they are a bit more pricey than the previous bulk buys. Paul.

I like the idea, maybe its because like you I've never been to the local meeting - maybe I should as I'm not 100% certain my car is handling right... Anyway I don't think you could make a living out of it doing just Caterhams. You might get more take up if you expanded to other types of 7s. A guy at work has been building his Westfield for 6 years now and his car is a second hand project from someone who gave up. Of course that would open you up to all kinds of wacky builds. Paul.

Hi Ivan, not sure if you got my reply to your PM - it said it both failed to send and sent, very odd! Anyway if not could you put me down for the standard / solid ones. Thanks, Paul.
