Yes thank you had a read through them and some of the issues, when I get the correct brackets I’ll be super careful, cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Morning all How are people currently build finding it for missing parts? I feel each thing I move onto there is something missing, been waiting for a missing fixing pack and some other bits for nearly 3 weeks! Im missing my engine top hose that Caterham say was boxed and it’s 100% not been delivered. Now just gone to fit the radiator and the brackets I have don’t fit the radiator, looking at other people pictures and blogs mine are different for some reason and the mounting holes are completely wrong. I’ve always wanted to build a Caterham and it’s great that I’m getting the opportunity to but there not cheap bits of kit so you’d expect things to be right. Rant over, needed to vent… hope all enjoying the lovely weather either building are blating around in your 7.

That’s amazing thank you! By any chance can you remember where you found the nuts and bolts, I have the rubber mountings and found the metal plates. Always worried I’ll use the wrong bolts that are intended for something else. Thanks.

Hello.. Having a bit of a downer day, everything I seem to be going to do on my 420 kit I seem to be missing bits 😭 Just looking at the “new style” radiator (different shown in the manual) and can’t find anything that looks like it would fit it to the car, anyone had experience with the new fixings please? Where they are and what they look like? Thanks

Amazing thank you all for the quick answers! I’ll carry on putting all together and when I come to fit the headlights and mounting bracket I’ll go against everything my head tells me and push the bodywork. I’ve just downloaded the text rich older manual and printing now. Thanks 😁

Hello all… received my SV 420R kit last week after a long wait, finally got sometime to make a start this evening and stumbled at the first hurdle! Im following the order in the build manual, with the upper wishbone the front bolt on both sides pushes against the bodywork and no room to get the nut on the bolt… any ideas or experience would be greatly appreciated? Thanks

Great that your at the stage to be booking the IVA, just in time for summer 😎 Who have you insured with off of the chassis number? Chris.
