Thanks, it' s even easier for me to pass at Sevens & Classics.

All the best

Dear Steve,

Has the car been sold or not? I' ll be in the UK in the first week of April and I am tempted. The early K-Series, and especially this 1996 limited edition, have always been my favourites for a roadgoing Caterham.

Best regards

Dear Dom, YHM.

Dear Ed, did you already get in contact with Elie? I' ll be a couple of times in the UK next months and at least once by car. So perhaps I could transport the rear axle when heading back to Belgium.

Dear Ed, did you get my message with the e-mail of Elie?

Dear Ed, YHM!

Looking for my friend in Belgium, Elie Boone, for a complete Ford Escort Mk2 rear axle, preferable diff ratio 3.89.

I would like to have the rubber mats.

Cheers

Hi,

YHM

JJF

Thx for the advice.

I didn' t know that Willans give a club discount. On their site, there are still types with the crutch straps going through rings on the lap belts.

JJF

Indeed, that is the main reason.

On the other hand I don' t like that screaming yellow script on the black straps. Just cosmetic, but I am a traditional guy ...

I know these are non-Caterham parts, so I hope nobody sends me a death wish on Christmas.

Having a clearout after selling my 1999 Elise 111S S1. Below you can find the list, I can send pictures by mail.

1. Original glass rear screen, the inclined type. Almost never used, so perfect condition.
2. A set of yellow Koni front dampers and springs for the S1 or S2. Still functional but a rebuild would be better before mounting them.
3. A set of front mudflaps. Used.
4. A set of carbon fibre mirrors. As good as new.
5. A set of riser blocks for the 111S / 160Sport rear spoiler.
6. An original towing eye. Used, but good condition.
7. A KN air filter for the original K Series airbox.

Open for sensible offers ...

I live in Belgium, but will travel to the UK on 28.12.2019. So I can deliver the parts or put them in the post.

Hi everyone,

Starting to make my list for the 2020 saison and one (expensive) item I shall be needing is a new FIA approved harness.

I know Schroth is making a specific Caterham type, but I do not like them. It is the most expensive one on the market and I would like to have the type where the crutch straps pass through a ring attached to the lap belt.

Alternatives are:

Willans Silverstone 633 Single seater (FIA 8853/2016)

TRS Pro 6 point single seater (FIA 8853/98)

TRS Pro Superlite single seater (FIA 8853/98)

Anyone experience with these alternatives? Or are there other possibilities?

Hi Nick,

Tried to reach you. I' ll be in the UK on 28.12, Kent region, Brands Hatch.

Hi,

I need a new helmet for next season. Was thinking of a new Arai but a Bell will do for an amateur racer.

At the moment I have a L, but it is necessary to compare the sizes. Do you know how Bell defines the measurement?

Best regards

Hi everyone,

Is there a specific colour code for the anthracite wheels or a RAL number that comes closes?

Doesn' t have to be perfect. I am planning to paint one of sets of KN Minator wheels in such a colour.

JJF

Revilla,

Thanks, I have also found your explanation concerning the wiring and the loss of voltage, especially in a circuit with a FIA switch. So, I' ll certainly use your guidance and experience.

Cheers

Hi guys,

I am going to tackle it step by step.

1. Replace the solenoid.

2. Fit an external relay.

I have the Magneton starter, with the relay at the underside. I have found a solenoid on the internet for £30, but it is not 100% sure that it is the right type. Can anyone recommend where to get the right one?

JJF

Hi,

Thx for the answers. I am going to take a look tomorrow at the left hand side of the gearbox. It will be probably a gearbox driven speedo, since there is nothing to see at the rear wheels.

I' ll visit Redline on 16.08, as soon as I am sure about the part I need, I' ll notify Chris.

Hi everyone,

I did a search on BlatChat but to be honest there must be something wrong since I get a lot of irrelevant results.

The issue is simple, my 1.6 K Series (01/11/2004, so one of the late K Series) suffers from the infamous K Series click. It has the starter with the solenoid on the bottom, wrapped in some sort of heat shield.

There are a number of solutions, but I was thinking of simply getting an alternative starter motor. On my Super Seven Twin Cam I put an Edge starter motor and never had any problems afterwards. Perhaps there is for the K Series a good alternative on the market.

The car is mainly being used on track.

Thanks for the advice

Hi everyone,

I already have the car 1 year, so thinking of finally getting my speedo working. Not needed on the track, but if I want to pass Belgian MOT, it is quite crucial ...

To avoid an endless search, is there some-one with a car with the same spec and age who knows which system was being used. I have the electronic speedo and odometer. So is the sensor in the gearbox or on one of the weels?
