  1. Hi Paul. Apologies for late reply, messed up the notifications.

    I'm after one with Tillett pockets. Also thinking of half doors, so may be interested once I know how if / how the Tonneau works with them.

    Can you confirm if your Tonneau has Tillett pockets and if it's zipped to allow passenger side only to be in place?

    Thanks

  2. Re: crimping tools, I bought a cheapie Laser one off of Amazon (currently retailing at £9.46) and drilled out a couple of rivets to make the jaw narrower and therefore work with AMP / econoseal connectors without destroying them. Works a dream and cost a fraction of the price of the real deal! I have used it on several little wiring projects on the car over the past few years.

    Glad to have it in my toolbox at that price as it gets pulled out once a year for something or other.

     

  3. I know most of you will have already fitted your lovely new DRE units, but if not I did make a bracket for mine a couple of years ago and made a pattern which anyone else is welcome to use.

    Pattern was made for an SV (RHD) but have since fabricated another for a mate with an S3 and it lined up horizontally just fine (given that the S3 is narrower, I wasn't sure if the slope in the scuttle behind the steering wheel would be the same but it's close enough for my metalworking skills!)

    Much more effort than many will want to make I know, but if you have a hacksaw, a vice and are so inclined then good luck *thumb_up*

    I made a pattern out of old cereal box before cutting and bending metal, may be worth doing the same to check my measurements will get your unit horizontal.

  4. I bought a full set of 6" and 8" anthracite 8-spoke 13's from KN two weeks ago, delivered for £440 inc VAT. I called them on 01952 614402, per their website. I found that they picked up the phone pretty quickly the few times I called them and were keen to help. The wheels came with anthracite coloured centre caps, and just need some Caterham-branded badges sticking on which I have on order with some other bits from Caterham. I'm happy with the wheels for the price.

  5. Does anyone have an adhesive applicator gun for 2-part 50ml glue 1:1 mix ratio, like Bigbond, that I can borrow/have in return for postage costs? They're expensive new at £20 for a one-off job.

    Something like this or like this.

    I'm planning to use Bighead fasteners for my new cycle wings and the supplied glue needs an applicator like this.

    Thanks.
