no, they look more like the normal type. I'm gonna head over there tomorrow and fit them up if the weather isn't too rotten.

https://www.kitcardirect.co.uk/products/caterham-lotus-7-style-front-cycle-wing-mudguards-carbon-csr-13-pair?_pos=6&_sid=a9edfd2fd&_ss=r I'm wondering if they'll fit my 13" Caterham wing stays if I bond them.
-
some happy people sent me pics that are much better than mine. here we go.

sorry to resurrect this. are these the "race" stays https://caterhamparts.co.uk/brackets/1910-cycle-wingstay-rh-13-zzs-zzr-tyres.html why are they "race" is there a problem running them on my 13" R888R front tyres on the road? cheers
-
these ones wouldn't as the bottom is profiled to follow the fillet curve of the boss so that it covers it with no gap. but I can easily do some with a flat part.

Whittle le Woods to be precise. outside my parents. are you local?

Someone asked me to (I'm really sorry I can't remember who it was) make something to cover their lapbelt boss. theirs was full of grot and just asking for trouble. So I designed something to cover it. the first version was fine but the hole was full of grot so when I screwed it in it jammed and snapped off (ok, I shouldn't have been using a pipe-wrench...) So the bung needs to tap the thread into the grot and clean it out and it needed to not be ugly, maybe a nice carbon fibre weave appearance. also, it doesn't need to be billet aluminium or cost the earth so here we are: £13 delivered. https://uberniche.co.uk/lapbelt-bung

anyone else going? I'm taking the scenic route up on the sunday. weather is guaranteed* to be great as it has been every time I've been to Anglesey. I'm thinking of camping and setting up a fallback in case of hurricanes although. I didn't book a garage as they're £50. anyone want to go halves on one as they easily fit 2 cars? I'm taking an R400 so it'd be great if there are other 400/420 cars to chase about cheers!

I do sell the quadlocks but I also sell one which uses VHB tape to stick to the scuttle. I run an aero screen and wanted the phone out of the 120mph air. it uses 2 magnets and a steel plate that bonds to your phone's case. It is nice and rigid and I've taken the car around the Karussel and jumped the mountain at cadwell, both times the phone was fine. https://uberniche.co.uk/maglock

Have a search for “spa vs motamec” on here the “spa style” are motamecs and in my opinion not as good as they are much much less convex and so pretty hopeless. If you can be bothered you can drill and tap a bolt but I also make some stuff to help I have skin in this game though. See the site in my profile for my offerings.

what was that? You want a dust cap to fill the hole of your lap belt boss? But it's full of grot So it literally needs to tap the thread into the grot and clean it out? and you don't want it to cost £40? Have I got good news for you! https://uberniche.co.uk/lapbelt-bung please file under "stupid but neat" as usual, you can order some from the site in my footer. £10+£3 delivery! J ps. the first version I did of these snapped off in the grot-filled thread. it was not good. thises are strong enough and with the extremely blunt "cutting" thread, they should get all the goop out by moving it back and forth a bit as long as you don't attach a pipe wrench to them and twist (ask me how I snapped the V1)
-
my adapters are available in spa OR motamec. the motamecs will just about fit as you say as they're a couple of mm different bolt distance, but they're a slightly different size (Spa base is much bigger) and having chased @L7 FST around Cadwell, I can quite happily say he doesn't really need to look in his mirrors anyway
-
the KitCarDirect ones are motamecs. confirmed by one of my customers. I'd recommend the Spas as they're more convex (and so actually useful). Merlin do sell CF ones but they're £400/pair
-
very interesting. PM Sent
-
some updates on this. I've heard grumblings that some suppliers don't want to deal with Spa anymore as they're unreliable. I know they're currently available at merlin and demontweeks but be careful as kitcardirect are selling "spa-style" which appear from the photos to be motamecs, meaning not very convex but a base with a grub-screw. just as an aside, I now also sell these:

I think PETG will hold up fine. I've not got anything I've made under the bonnet. the worst problem I've had is my wheel centers which just get soft and fall out at the track.
-
here we go. move spa/motamec mirrors from sidescreens to windscreen with only a 3mm hex key in under 2 minutes. I'll update my product page shortly no fiddling with bolts and washers. -
worst case scenario: it all gets hot. plastic softens and falls out due to air flow, something shorts. I've no way of testing this stuff. making it is easy. making it safe....
-
this is a safety part and so I wouldn't want to risk it. 3d printed stuff can deal with the under-bonnet temps but the flexy hinge would be difficult to get right as I can't print nylon. if you're totally stuck, give me a shout (I have a banner myself) but I'd really rather not.
-
inside wheel is unweights and so the ATB does what ATBs do and spins up the inside wheel. I've tried softening up the rear ARB but it's not helped. the same happened (in the same corner) with my 130i with a quaife. stiffening the rear helped a little but ultimately when you're in a tight corner it just can't cope. all the medium and fast corners it's not a problem. on the road you're just not leaning on it like that (hot tyres at the edge of adhesion)
-
I'm fed up with my quaife. I'm in the same boat as you deciding between wavetrack and tracksport. I think it'll have to be tracksport as no-one seems to have an opinion of the wavetrack. if anyone wants a great ATB that is perfect for a fast road car, my quaife is coming out and will be for sale. it's just not right on the track in low speed corners.
-
My centre caps actually lasted a trackday! (There’s a reason I’m not selling them)
-
not centrecaps I hope.... I'm testing my latest ones this weekend and I fully expect to have none left by the end of the day as they just get hot and fall out.
-
I've done some odd things for people recently. buttons surrounds for a caterham21, custom motorbike brake mounts for a 7. parts for a wheelchair....

I’m going this Saturday (I also pm’d him)
