Roearn

Ok, thanks Graham for these pics. Your pipe looks neater than mine, but not that much. Hopefully some small tweaks is all I need, as it seems there’s only a certain amount you can do. Regards, Roger.

Thanks for these replies. The photos are really helpful, as it’s completely different to my routing. Jonathan, I didn’t have the text guide for the first few weeks of the build. From first thoughts of a Lotus 7 to me placing an order was 3 weeks. No planning, forethought or research. Thought the picture book was it, and then the pitfalls. Graham, Yes please on your photographs. With coolant drained and hose removed, good time to be able to check on your comments. Was thinking I was coming to the end of the build. No chance. Roger

A photo would be great, thanks. Roger

At my PBC it was suggested I reroute the hose to the bottom radiator. It is not obvious to me what the reroute should be. Does anyone have photographs of the hose to bottom radiator?

Yes JV, I’ve made progress. It was a dirty window until I understood the AS designation. Thanks.

Yes JV, I’ve made progress. It was a dirty window until I understood the AS designation.

Thanks Jon for pointing me in right direction. R*.

I’ve damaged the thread on the hub carrier where the bottom wishbone bolts. I want to clean the thread. Can anyone tell me what size thread and pitch so I can get the correct die to clean. Thanks, Roger

Well, there's more for me to contemplate than I expected. Thanks too all for advice and comments. And yes, Big Col, an interesting overview of all that's going on out of sight.. Roger.

I'm close to completing my 270S build, and starting to think about it being laid up during Winter. It's in a brick and concrete garage. Can any members give me advice on best way to keep damp at lowest costs out of the building. I'm thinking along lines of some sort of trickle heater placed beneath the car. Thanks, Roger.

Thank you all for those comments. Roger

I've just had my 270S PBC'd at the dealers. They pointed out that I need a collapse unit behind the steering wheel and to mark the switches on the dashboard. The IVA checklist I have doesn't mention these two points, so I asked for a list that says this. They were unable to give me one. Does anyone know what list shows this, and any other points I may not be aware of.

JV. My experience is that they reply well. I've just had a reply from Caterham to my wiring query. Two weeks later. Seems Lee was out of office. Made me smile, as I've tried to keep questions to a minimum and not ask anything stupid. Roger.

JV, acknowledged. Roger

Mic & Jonathan, Thanks very much for that info. Why do Caterham seem to be reluctant to answer wiring queries and supply diagrams. Roger
