No worries Nick,good luck with the sale. thanks,Ralph

I have just the very slightest bit of flaking powder coat on the leading edge on the chassis tube that runs under the fuel tank so am asking the fountain of knowledge what will give the best looking result ie nearest to Arch finish with no visible brush strokes out of Por15 or Hammerite smooth and what finish ,satin or gloss? You get the idea,yep I really don't know! i don't mind ease of use v's mess as it will all be masked taken back and done thoroughly. Ralph

Hi Nick,do these sbfs half doors secure the same way as the cc std doors with a pair of poppers or are there others needed to enable the doors to be fitted? Thanks, Ralph
-
Glad to have pointed you in the right direction
-
You have mail
-
rj do you know who manufactured the Apollo tank for cc?
-
Hi nickh7 do you have the full Apollo with all fittings for sale and if so how much ? cheers Ralph

Hi,this is just a shot in the dark so please don't take it as gospel but in the late 80's /90's the 711m blocks and the thick wall wall AX blocks tended to run Kent 234 cams as stock sprint/super sprint cams from the factory as far as I can remember..... It's been a long ,long time, over twenty five years since I left the fold but I'm fairly confident that's correct...ish One person I do know who is an absolute legend when it comes to xf lumps is Roger King who in my racing days built by far the best xf race engines by a mile. I have seen him post/ comment in the forums so I would really recommend spending some time searching Roger out as I truly believe he will have the definitive answer. please post or let me know your results as I'm sure your answer is here good luck Ralph

Completely understand rj ......a nice clean reading i'm going shopping. have you a positive I'd on engine and size rj?
-
Any chance of that photo rj?
-
Great work rj cant wait to hear what engine its from as are many other owners I'm sure. I would be interested to know if it's from the sigma lump as I mentioned in the original post.
-
Thanks for all the pointers and sorry I'd not replied sooner to all the advise given. I spoke to Redline but it sounds as if the only ones available now are the same or at least very similar to my existing dipstick so I search on. thanks again for the advise and links Ralph

Mike go on Caterham parts site click on powertrain,oil systems,page 12 it's there £270 inc vat not in stock but put your email in and if enough people do the will probably get more hope that helps
-
Hi Mike not sure how much for a complete kit new if available,I have gone onto Caterhams parts site and as rj in this thread suggested registered an interest with them. i believe they were about £275 including vat I'll have another look to see Ralph
-
could anyone advise if the dipstick for the 1.8 k series is still available as mine is just a metal rod with no marking for the oil level? someone did mention the sigma one available at Caterham is suitable for the k,does anyone know if this is definitely ok? thanks Ralph
-
Sorry rj meant to ask is Darren at Caterham Dartford or another company ?
-
Thanks RJ i may have sourced a nice used one but if it is not what I need I'll do as you recommend thanks for the heads up Ralph
-

-

-
Pm sent
-
anyone selling or thinking of selling their K series Apollo set up please message me. great to good condition preferred and if all fittings available even better thanks Ralph -
Hi Mike my friend has a set of used half doors from his sv available price, he said make an offer we're on the Kent Sussex border if you would like to view he also has a sbfs head restraint wind deflector with between seats storage pocket available Ralph
-
Thank you for that unfortunately I have now refitted the washer so I can't take any measurements from it until the next oil change. are they any better than the ones offered on that auction site that come free with the oem 100181 filters?
-
Hi Ian No it's not copper,the one fitted is satin steel in appearance and seems to have a black rubber inner ring to help it seal ? never come across one like this before! Ralph
-
is there anywhere I can get sump plug washers for my k series wet sump car other than cc,are they a specific size for a caterham or can they be obtained at local motor factors ? thanks folks
