L66TEY

Looking to source a Clear Aeroscreen S3.

Anyone got one that they are not using and willing to let it go?

With thanks

Chris

Yeah from memory it’s all about countering the lift at the front. 

Wishbonewings to the rescue 😃

Hi Dave,

Im guessing you have a 420?

Based on the “DHE420” reference on the sticker. 

The sticker also suggest that Power Torque supplied the Duratec Engines to Caterham, hence worth contacting them.

Hi Stephen,

Sorry, should have stated that to start with. 

It's  'Metric"

Chris 

Hi Jody,
I only measured the front and rear bars, and the two C shaped arcs - and they were 32mm. 

The cage and Caterham is presently at Alpha 7 Motorsport, hence unable to check. 

If the Cage you have is the one I'm thinking off, then that's the FIA approved one, noting the Trackday Cage is not FIA approved, hence I expect you might be better off selling what you have and getting a Trackday Cage - save you cutting away at metal. 

Coincidentally, I bought my Trackday cage from a guy who was removing it in orde to have a FIA Cage fitted so that he could compete in sprints/hill climbs. 

Best regards 

Chris

Mine is an S3, the 32mm dia is the front upper tube (along the top part of the windscreen)

I measured mine to be 32mm dia

Hi Stu,
Thank you that's great for PG Tips and I.
Chris

I'll DM you.

Hi Peter,
I sure do - and as per our conversation just now, they are now yours 
Chris

Hi

I have - it's orange, hoping that's suitable?

I'll DM you some pics. 

Chris 

Hi

I've got a set that are available.

PM sent - as I'm looking for one to fit my metric S3

Hi Rob,
Thank you for the offer - albeit my requirement has been sorted thanks to Malc.
But expect someone else will gladly take them off your hands - especially for £25, 
 

Hi Malc,

Thank you that would be great. 

Sam,

If it doesn't work out via Malc I'd like to take dips on the ones you are offering up. 

If the "sympathy" card is of any value, I need the brackets in order to put my car back on the road following a recent crash. 
 

I paid Neil £45 for the pair in 2021. 

With thanks

Chris 

Bit of a long shot.

But does anyone have one of these brackets they'd be happy to sell to me? - as one of mine has ended up bent. 

If not, am hoping Neil has got some more or will do another batch?

With thanks

Chris 

Thank you Gents for your comments.

The firing order issue is resolved, albeit as the engine is in pieces the next bit of info being sought is the torque values for reassembly.

Hence, looking to get in touch with Mr Russell Savory himself 
 

So it transpires that Reverie were behind the Bellhousing, by means of them having laminated it. 

Albeit the mould does not belong to Reverie. 

The hunt is now on for the mould. 

Hi Gents,

Already checked with Reverie and Luke Stevens. 

Transpires that Reverie didn't make the Bellhousing, they repaired it at one point. 

And whilst Luke worked on the car they didn't supply the Bellhousing. 

Seems the best hope is trying to get in touch with Tony Bennett??

Does anyone know where a Carbon Bellhousing like the one in this Caterham, can be sourced from?

Or does someone have contact details for Tony Bennett?

Thank you Dikko.
Mountune were unfortunately unable/unwilling to assist due to it being such a long time ago.
The search continues....

Upgrading to 420 spec.

It's not presently an issue..... but remains work in progress
