I have replaced all my fuses with LED “glow” fuses like these.
When a fuse blows, it lights up making fault-finding - well, identifying what’s gone - dead easy… needless to say, have had no faults since fitting them!

Another thumbs up for the JWM PS-12, I replaced my Banner with this. It comes with the battery cage and charger as mentioned by David. I did purchase a C-TEK lithium charger so I could continue to use my previously installed C-TEK Charger socket, although I’ve had no need to yet.
I also have one of these batteries and simply adapted the flylead off the supplied charger with a C-TEK cable in order to fit into the socket in the 7.

it was a PP item - but you can just get them on line.
Yup - here.

(c) I'm curious to know what the silver coloured fluid tank is for
Stuart at Premier Power would fit these coolant header tanks in preference to the potentially weak standard items… I’d expect that is why it’s there!

Mine is a normal plate I cut down to the legal minimum 11mm borders…
which does mean it now lacks the BS number that would’ve been in the bottom right-hand corner but does have the plate-maker’s details (a subtle “my other car’s a…”!)

It use to be called the Caterham FB at the factory. I will leave you to decide what that stood for!
Given my parents were married and I’m not rotund… ‘king Brilliant?

It’s a Sigma in a SV (Superior Version)! -
I used to use the excellent tool tubes that @Jonathan Kay organised as a Bulk Buy years ago but have removed them.
I repositioned the coolant header tank and fitted a Really Useful Box (painted black so invisible-ish… before I realised they can be bought in black!) fixed the the cruciform under the nose one.
The blue handle/clip is just about visible through the grille here:
It contains a reasonably comprehensive selection of tools and bits, inc tyre weld, to prevent the use of my AA membership and credit card which I also always carry!

Excellent help everyone, thank you. I just didn't want to get it wrong and have to remove the roll bar.
Assume you have a standard rollbar…. otherwise, if you’ve a track day one, you won’t be able to get the bolts in as the diagonal will get in the way and *will* have to remove it!

Can anyone recommend a good solid phone holder for the bracket that will suit an iPhone-8, iPhone 13 or both?
They do bespoke cases or stick-on adapters for the phone and a variety of mounts including a wireless charging one as per my photo in the third post of this thread above.

The column switch is replaceable, and there are some helpful notes in the archives.
There’s an ignition switch for sale at the moment…

and I thought mine were cheap
(think circa £40 a piece two years ago from an eBay supplier) 😳 -
Where’re you based Sam? I am sure folks on here will then point you towards a local expert.
As Dave suggests, a re-map could be useful but personally I’d seek advice to discount all the potential cheaply-sorted issues first!

R888R's fit fine under my race stay mounted on 6.5" Revolution race rims
-
Anyone had any issues swapping from 185/55 ZZS to 185/60 R888R on a 7 with front “race” wing stays?
Online tyre calculator reckons latter is 18mm extra diameter, so 9mm less clearance under the wing.
Think (hope!) there’s sufficient space…
-
What did you replace them with, Alan? More ZZSs or R888Rs or…?

Did you buy this one? It’s hard to believe that it wouldn’t fit both S3 and SV variants? I have one fitted to my S3.
I have one fitted to my SV!
(well, I think it’s the same!) -
You’re going to hate this… you need to get a bit biblical with the side skin and push it to give you access/clearance to the head of the bolt/nut.
Don’t worry - it’s less industrial (mostly!) hereafter…

My understanding is that the only trip you can legally make prior to registration is to the IVA.
Me too… to a pre-booked IVA test only (and if it fails, direct to a place of repair/correction).
