I was just going by what a similar Schroth harness sold for last week. Feel free to make an offer though... it's just collecting dust.

I have a Schroth 6 point harness for sale. £250 located near Horsham, West Sussex. Can post at cost.

Have I overpriced this? There was one that sold on here recently around this price, so I was going by that as a gauge. Open to offers....

I have an Ifor Williams CT136HD that I'm pondering moving on. It was new in 2020 and has hardly been used - it still looks pretty much brand new. £2,995 It's 5.56m total length incl drawbar/hitch and 2.35m width, which, according to this site should fit within the average UK single garage: The average size of a single garage is 3m wide and 6m long https://www.garageplans.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d32_faq_garage_sizes.html#:~:text=The average size of a,enough to house your car.

Is the engine from a Caterham installation? And do you have any pics pls?

Caterham 6 speed Gearbox. In excellent condition having covered less than 500 miles since rebuild by Road & Race. Includes the gearstick and 6-speed gear knob. Bellhousing is not included. £2,995 Horsham, West Sussex

Mine needed replacement too and I couldn't find one anywhere. I took the bell housing to my local agricultural engineers/machine shop and they extracted the old one and made a new one and fitted it for the price of a few beers.

Are you using runners with your Tillets, or the aluminium box section channels, or just bolting the seats directly to the floor? I have tried many different approaches and found the runners to be the worst, becoming very hard to move once bolted down and getting jammed up with grit over time rendering them unusable. I binned them, they're junk. The aluminium channels were better and I have no problem using them. However, the best solution I found was exhaust bobbins screwed directly into the Tillett base with a large penny washer and nylock at the underside of the floor. Exhaust bobbins are cheap and plentiful on eBay and come in a wide variety of heights. I experimented with different heights front/rear to get the exact height and amount of tilt I wanted (which for me was 35mm from / 15mm rear bobbins). One tip is to use a hole step drill/cutter to enlarge the holes in the floor a bit... or more likely just redrill them where you want. I don't care that the seat isn't adjustable fore/aft, no-one else drives my Caterham and the adjustable runners are unusable junk that don't work anyway as previously stated.

Going from 6" to 8" rims is a 2" difference... not sure where you get 1/2" from. In any case, it's the tyres that make the car handle differently, and IME (and in many others) when fitting 205 or 215 section tyres to lower powered cars it takes away the playful agility of them and makes them understeer into corners. This is especially noticeable on track.

205's will fit just fine... however IME they will take away the playful agility of your car and create even more understeer (ask me how I know....) 🙂 If it's just for looks, I'd install some longer wheel studs and use 6x13's with spacers so that the wheels fill the arches a little better. Also, I'm not sure about what section CR28's are, but tyres like R88R's which have a taller sidewall fill the arches better than Avon ZZS etc which are low profile.

Given that Caterham bought whatever Sigma engines that Ford could supply them over the years it's doubtful there is any specific sequence or code relating to them. Certainly unlikely any serial number would be particular to Caterham. If you're reconditioning an engine just buy any Sigma... it doesn't matter what it's from. The engines are all boggo standard from a Fiesta/C-Max/Focus/Mondeo and the Caterham-specific things were sump, cams, and ECU (plus maybe some other small items).

Hmm.. those weights don't correspond with my own measurements using (well calibrated) digital scales, which show that KN 8 spokes are quite a bit heavier than Apollo's. Plus, we all know that Caterham's claimed weights are absolutely laughable(!) When you hold an Apollo in one hand and a KN in the other the difference is obvious - you can clearly feel how much lighter Apollos are than KN 8 spokes. Apollo’s 6” - 4.3 kgs 8” - 4.8 kgs KN 8 spokes 6” - 4.8 kgs 8” - (haven't got a pair to weigh)

Pretty sure I have a spare Caerbont from a 2000 (ish) era K Series car if that's the same?

My TTV (pictured above) weighed 3.14 kg on my digital scales - and the one in the post below mine shows 3.18 kg, so I'd say that's a pretty accurate measure of what they weigh.
