Just fitted a set to my Seven - very good units 

My favourite subject TD and got a job leaving school doing TD one open evening and you cant beat watching your drawings turn into life - whether its buildings or domestic appliance components etc - I love drawing much better than the CAD trickery 

Thanks Bog Col - for that - Have already been in touch with Oxted - They don’t modify hoods to include zips, and have suggested use of a local trimmer .

Thanks 

Hi 

does anyone know of or have used a supplier to modify their full hood to have easy in/out zip fitment ???

softbits for sevens used to do this but no more - anyone know any suppliers or used a trimmer to do this ? 
 

thanks

Thanks everyone for the comments - really helpful and i'm deaf since birth so the noise isnt an issue really , other than it was a bit buzzy after doing 450 miles in it this weekend , but once got used the the gears and now that i understand it a bit better - ill enjoy it and I have another S7( for sale ) a 5 speed x flow which does seem flat but a completely different character in terms of pace and acceleration, and equally just as much fun too. Fantastic forum community this club has! 

Hi All,

I have just aquired a new Seven S3 a supersport 1800 k series with 6 speed box, im interested to hear of other owners experience of this gearbox and whether worth changing the diff ratios or going for a type 9 box as i understand its more of blatting type set up via country lanes of which found the ratios best suited.  It might be my mistake as i thought the 6th gear might be like an over drive settling the rpm to 3000 , but no its like a caged animal at 5500 at 80 mph 

Are these 6 speeds like this or have many owners made modifications to make it more enjoyable.

Just keen to hear of others thoughts and experiences as im looking to use the car more for touring and travelling country roads etc with odd track day 

Thanks 

My gauge reads  empty when full and full when empty !!

Hi All

has any one got a spare caterham seven standard wing mirror they want to sell please 

Cheers 

Thanks 

Thanks Ian for this - it really is an interesting read and pitches where I need to be with the spring rates 

Cheers 

Morning all, 

Thanks for that JP & 7 Wonders......

Ill make contact with protect and the picture above is interesting with the shock absorber upside down so to speak with adjustment at the top mounting - is there a reason why this has been installed this way round?

Regards and Thanks 

Hi All

I have just acquired a set of pro tech shock absorbers for my Caterham Live Axle x flow seven , I understand spacers are required for the top and bottom rose joint mountings and ask how are the bearing spacers measured or specified ? Please to ensure correct clearance and tolerance  - I currently have a pair of Avo shocks fitted with standard poly bushes installed.

Any advice please or would Protech be able to assist ?

Cheers 

Hi All

Following replacement of toggle switch for the dip switch ( metal on-on type) which has three terminals numbered 1-2-3 and I have three wires with terminal 1 being blue /red, terminal 2 blue , terminal 3 blue /white  - I have connected the wires in the same way as the original switch - but now have no headlights /main beam. Fuses have been checked all ok,

has anyone any information or advice on how to fix this as Electrics is not one of my strong points 

Thanks 

Thanks everyone all sorted - ordered new switches as Per Ian Payne's comments 

Hi all 

I have a pair of what look like Avo adjustable shock absorbers fitted to my Caterham , on my live axle crossflow caterham and just seem some replacement units from AVO on the Merlin Motorsport website , and can i reuse the springs on the new shocks as I don't know what the spring rates are. The car was built circa 1998 and used for hill climbs and racing in its early days . Can any one advise on type of units required - i intend to us the car for mostly fast rood and little track use.

Thanks in advance for help and information 

Hi All,

The toggle switch on the Caterham Seven xflow has failed and flapping about in the wind - any anyone advise the type of switch that is fitted ? - its a on-on switch with 3 spade terminals on

Caterham sell them at roughly #20 quid plus VAT - Seems mighty expensive  

Thanks in advance for help 

Does anyone have a spare side exit exhaust to fit a S3 live axle 7 with crossflow engine spare or advise of any modifications to remove tail pipe section and add a short side exit tailpipe - using existing exhaust - got to be cheaper than 1500 for a new system !!!!
