Google “Gold magnetic sump plug” or similar… (Gold is the manufacturer’s name of mine)

I had an issue the first time I drove my 7 any distance that I was able to fix at the roadside without tools. I was on my way to a Club/Caterham F1 event at Silverstone. Upon arrival, chatting to another member they were astonished that I ever considered going out in the 7 without tools. Since then, I have carried a range of bits and pieces that I expect to sort all but major failures. Needless to say, in the ten years since, I never used it (apart from the odd minor thing when parked up).

would adding some rubber washers/spacers between the A frame and chassis provide an appropriate amount of isolation but add unwanted movement/compliance? or should smaller diameter washers simply be used, as was the case in the past? (my A frame is currently on the garage floor having just taken my diff out - again! So am interested in the best means of rebuilding) The 2014 Assembly Guide includes this photo, showing the suggested arrangement:

A dob of black mastic?
-
Judging by the height of the lumpy bits at the back, Imperial… but best the OP confirms.

Doh! 🤦🏻♂️ I mistakenly thought the initial colour question referred to @Skipper555’s photo rather than @lapsedtheorist’s. Allowing for the vagaries of iPhone cameras’ colouring, they do look similar!

Sorry, the nice bloke who did my screen is of the opinion that this is the third and last one he’ll make. The time/effort involved does not make others financially viable. The stanchions are custom (different angle/dangle to the norm) and the base is from a standard windbreak to match the scuttle profile. The screen is then toughened glass to his custom template. Sounds easy eh?

Interesting…. mine’s more red than orange but more orange than red… 😲 Maybe as mine was Lamborghini Arancio Argos mixed/sprayed by Tony the Brush rather than Caterham Arancio Argos… 🤷🏻♂️ Either way, we agree that it’s awesome!
-
It’s like a slightly under-ripe tomato… red but very much an orangey-red! In the sun, as in the photo, it does “zing red”. It’s a Lamborghini colour.
-
It looks like Ballistic Orange to me… which what my car was when I built it. It was then reskinned and I went for Arancio Argos (before it became a Caterham colour):
-
That would make sense, there is a lot of difference in the wiring (swapping a fixed cam Sigma for a Ti-VCT wasn’t practical because of that).
-
Always good to patronise/encourage Minty at Redline - he’s a fabulous resource. That said, other than Caterham, Burton Power may be able to provide a gasket. -
My 2013 Sigma’s fuses/relays…
-
Nah… I’m just forgetful! 🤦🏻♂️
-
Not interested in the bike… but where in Chiswick are you? (I’m in Corney Reach - down near Chiswick Pier)
-
I know a number of folks who rave about their R888Rs - so if your car is set up for those, it’d make sense to replace like-for-like. (from someone with ZZSs…! 🤔)
-
It probably does… I’ve a Type 9.
-
🤷🏻♂️
-
Interesting… Duratec? (Mine’s a Sigma)
-
I’d assume pretty or reasonably tight but not FT… 🤔🤣
-
Later prop shafts don’t have grease nipples (well, mine on a 2013 car doesn’t)
-
I’d suggest it’s the perfect time - there’ll be as wide a choice as at any time of the year and prices naturally at their lowest… Good luck with your purchase! Oh… and welcome!
