David PM sent.

Thinking of replacing Tillets with conventional leather seats in a CSR. Do the seats share the same runners ?

Thanks

I was in a similar situation north of Kincardine last year luckily a kind driver spotted me and parked his low loader behind me until help arrived. However I was over the barrier pronto any car is replaceable!

Thanks for suggestions I've got Oakmere on the job.

Do any members know a source or register of qualified damage assessors. A garage local to me has crashed my 7 and I need it professionally assessed for repair as I'm worried there might be frame damage. Thought of ringing Oakmere as well as the IAEA but perhaps an enquiry on here might produce some other pointers. I'm in Cumbria.

thanks

I had a .17 Anschutz for a while but it had feed problems which were never resolved so it went back and now have a Browning T Bolt. In Cumbria getting a variation on the licence is now I believe 16 weeks my 'mole' in the licencing department says the place is in disarray. Do you have similar delays in the south?

Twas myself en route to Shropshire. A lovely mild autumn day after coming off Shap.

Presume the black ones will be coated s'steel?

Had a look at the CSR in case of similarities but the bell housing has a connection as described by DJ on the Sigma.

I recently bought a job lot of bits from an ex 7 owner. New wife has demanded more sensible vehicle!

Amongst the bits are  brand new SPA speedo and tacho gauges for some future upgrade. I've examined the bumph with them and my eyes crossed whilst attempting to understand the wiring requirements. Just wondering if anybody has had these type of instruments fitted to their 7's to replace originals.

Thanks

It was loose but as stated no abrasion on hose or worn paint etc at contact point with metalwork. I've put a clip in place as per your photo but not tight just to let the hose have a bit of 'float'.

That's the place.

John he left the slave cylinder end of the original hose in situ and joined that to the new hose minus one end. When asked about removal at the slave end he descended into broad Cumbrian which alas I cannot repeat here. He enjoyed the drive up Hartside!

The failure in the hose was exactly at the metal edge to the right of your sticky pad tie.

cheers

Cut off hose at leak and ditto end of new hose and joined both together with a union. The leak occurred exactly where the hose rests on the metal edge of the pedal box although no abrasion visible on the metal sheath. Tractor man says vibration over a period of time can cause point failure in hoses. Hope this helps.

Car fixed by local tractor dealer gratis in return for ride up Hartside and back! Why do calls to Caterham parts and service always remind me of the Vatican scenes from Father Ted!

True just watch out for Valtra's and Fendt's the farmers tools of choice round these parts!

At least the car went tits up in my yard and not on the moors last week!

Thanks DJ but its different on the Duratec. The hose disappears into the bell housing via removable plate. Not delved further but appears to need the skills of a gynecologist to detach the leaking hose. Gearbox removal was suggested but surely its more straightforward than that. First time I've seen a braided hose fail.

Anybody had the misfortune to suffer the above? I've got the replacement hose from CC but am doing a bit of head scratching as regards detaching the hose at the gearbox end.

Iain Blower in Hull might be interested...

Clarke's said they had sold me their last one but had more on order.

MBE ECU surplus to requirements no sensible offer refused.

Nick my screen isn't quite as cooperative as yours! I have an extra pair of hands available tomorrow so will try some 'persuasion' in the morning!

Thanks Jonathan I've trawled the forum and theres plenty of information with regard to reassembling but not found anything pertinent to the opposite. I'll do another search.
