At the Yeading test centre for mine, they said they couldn’t use the rollers as the sump would ground getting the car on, so they “road” tested it - and identified that the rears locked-up first.

If you’re referring to replacements for oil pressure, water temperature etc, then physically I think Stack options are straight swap. Whether the connections and senders are the same, I don’t know!

Go-Race Caterham Column with Go-Race Quick Release - Fitting Advice?
BigCol replied to David_Stamp's topic in TechTalk
Certainly Caterham only list one column on their parts’ site and its description doesn’t specify S3 or SV. -
Go-Race Caterham Column with Go-Race Quick Release - Fitting Advice?
BigCol replied to David_Stamp's topic in TechTalk
No... it comes with the column fixed to the QR mechanism - see here One of these is on my wish list… -
The job, be it removing or reinstalling, is generally easier with access from above, ie with the boot floor removed.
-
I’ve a standard SV rollbar gathering dust in the garage…
-
This thread is an innuendo lover’s paradise! I removed my original handbrake as suggested above - twisting and pulling…. also as above, file/grind the lump at the bottom of the handbrake before fitting your ali one. Otherwise, it’ll be a bitch to get off when you decide to go carbon instead (ask me how I know…)
-
Make your own as described here…?
-
don’t worry… no, not centre caps!
-
excellent, many thanks… the third-party lights I am going to fit come with a slightly longer lead (assuming they meant mm rather than the m listed in the spec; either way, will have enough!)
-
Excellent… I have a couple of things in mind for you too…! 🤔
-
👍🏻 (hope that new LED units are the same as the old caravan style ones given, I assume, the main loom is unchanged)
-
a bit… but not uber niche…? 🤔🤣🤣🤣
-
That’ll be me! The lagging takes up the space that the hood sticks previously occupied and with them gone, you’re adding lightness!
-
Anyone know (perhaps someone mid-build could measure? @Ainsley?) how long the fly-lead of the standard rear lights is?
-
As above, cables… prop shaft… diff.
-
If you haven’t got one, it’s worth getting/fitting an isolator switch of some sort so you can stop the parasitic drain of the immobiliser that potentially can drain the battery. Banners once drained are tricky to resuscitate.
-
Pretty sure they’re made by Reverie, so they might offer a route if no one has a surplus one…
-
I did (as you kindly sent me your notes!) it made it much easier than the initial build but still, positioning the jack, lifting into place, aligning before putting the first fastenings in etc was still far from simple!
-
Oxted Trimming? They amended a tonneau for me. Not cheap but did exactly what I wanted.
-
I replaced my diff, so had to re-centre as was using a different carrier... like your idea of machined spacers but I lack a lathe etc! Lifting the diff into place on my own with just a trolley jack was far from easy.
-
Removing the diff isn’t too bad… refitting and centralising it, is!
-
Impressed that having just started your kit, you have contracted upgraditus already!
-
Can any of the ReHaB boys help?
-
There is never any need to justify being tarty! Tony the Brush at TSK might be able to help. Though wasn’t a similar question asked, and answered, about Firecracker Yellow recently? (have had some Forgetful Juice since then so I might be wrong 🤔)
