can't see fitting that kit making it non-IVA-compliant...

that said, one of the rear wing bolts is used to earth the fuel tank (or sender or... anyway something fuel tank-related) so that'll need to be a standard metal bolt (or attach the cable elsewhere)

bugger... was about to nab that!

Sorry if it's an obvious/patronising (you do know what patronising means, don't you? ) question... are you sure the bleed valve is *fully* open? That would explain the lack of fluid coming through.

It's a bugger to get at and awkward to turn - bleeding difficult! (I too used an EeziBleed)

as with many aspects of my build, I did what Derek told me...

I didn't add any labels.

The tester did query the dip and flash switches but his assessor who was overseeing the test (and made him very pedantic) took a pragmatic view and said the blue telltale for main beam was as much of a visual indicator as a label.

Building a rapport with the tester, if you can, is well worthwhile. Whilst my chap failed my car, I had a very sensible conversation about why and, more to the point, what I needed to do to get a pass.

with all bolts tightish...

put the car in gear... torque available bolt... take car out of gear... rotate prop shaft...

and repeat!

I only have metric drills, so just used the nearest equivalent... eg 5/32" = 3.97mm, so used 4mm... as you say, it was for a rivet, so not critical

That said, there was one size that I ended up buying a 2.3mm drill or something (for 3/32"?) to get closer (my local hardware store lacked imperial drills)

I took the path of least resistance and bought the Caterham First Fill pack - here

I filled everything post-build. Found afterwards (in a conversation with Derek - as you do...) that received wisdom is to fill the gearbox pre-installation (and block the tail where the prop shaft goes appropriately.

watching eBay per chance...?

(don't worry, am not a rival for it...!)

It's something I've contemplated too... am suspicious of £30 sets and uncomfortable with paying £100 more than that to Caterham... there must be a quality option in between...

Seven Speed (as referred to here) used to offer sets but I can't see them on their website now

The consensus above is that the heater's ears point down... which as mentioned is how mine are now after Caterham reversed the panel at my PBC...

Which makes this picture interesting...!

no probs Dave... stupidly, I hadn't looked at SBFS's site... like that they offer blackened fittings - much more attractive than the shiny items Caterham supply!

So an order for 2x sockets and 2x doubling studs imminent! (Am also tempted by some blackened sockets to replace my current ones for the tonneau...)

The poppers are a reasonable-ish 72p a pair from Caterham as per a previous post's link...

However, CC's minimum P&P is £2.50 (which what they reckon it costs them in terms of time to raise an invoice, put the order through and, of course, the postage and packing!)

I need a couple for my aeroscreen, so Dave, if you're going too buy some, let me know and we can share costs.

I recently bought a second hand aeroscreen and an initial fit suggests there'll be a gap under the leading edge and that some sort of rubber such as this or this would a. fill it and b. prevent the aero scratching the scuttle.
