RPatch

My 1.6K series currently has standard track front suspension with 1/2" front anti-roll bar, and no rear ARB - with 6" 185 tyres all round. I'm part way through stripping the car for a full rebuild at Arch - as part of this I'm upgrading to wide track front, and Watts link rear, plus adding a rear ARB. I'll also be going from ~120bhp to something approaching 200bhp... What size front ARB do people generally run when adding a rear ARB and remaining on 6" wheels all round? I understand the rear is adjustable, so assuming I have it on its softest setting initially - so that if I ever upgrade to 8" rear wheels I can reduce a bit of understeer by increasing the rear ARB setting. Thanks in advance, Rob

These are the type I'm looking for:

Thanks, still after one for either side as I currently only have one and would like my passenger side to match!

The type with the buckles on the lap straps and loop crotch straps with red buckle - ideally passenger side (buckle on right), but would take drivers side.

Do you mean that the Elise kit fits a caterham rack?

Hi Having returned to the club after a few (several!) years' absence, I'm struggling to find old topics using the search function of the new forums so I'm hoping someone may be able to point me towards some useful information! Several years ago my rack developed play and I had it fully overhauled by Titan (around 2012). It's now developed a small amount of vertical play in the nearside rack bar/rack housing - ie NOT the track rod inner joint. I contacted Titan who advised that the first overhaul should never have happened - and they do not / aren't allowed to overhaul Caterham racks - but they could supply individual parts but cannot advise any tech specs eg torques for reassembly of the rack. Caterham also won't entertain having the rack returned to them for them to have Titan rebuild it - leaving the only option being a £700 new rack! I read somewhere that the design of the rack is very similar to the Elise rack - for which an overhaul manual does exist. Would anyone happen to have a copy of the Elise manual, or have any instructions/specs for stripping and rebuilding the Caterham rack, specifically around disassembly and reassembly to replace whatever bush is supporting the rack bar on the nearside? Thanks, Rob
