I used Bigg Red last year, quick turn around, about average price & a quality job, very pleased.

I would have thought it would be quite simple to make one if you can weld.

Also where there has been a replies, most of them appear on each of the duplicated posts, but the "replies" column shows nothing

I use them a lot for temporary 240V equipment testing also now on the 7's heater for ease of removal. Really handy and will be ideal for the screen You can get this more compact (and cheaper) type from Toolstation and smaller quantities of the Wago unit. Toolstation unbranded Toolstation Wago

I did the same as SM25T & others, drill two 2.5mm holes and use a 2.5mm cable tie either side.

Reply #14 Hi Ian, yes I have also heard that so I always jack under the diff. Don't want to hijack this thread but briefly the story from the thread linked above is: "At about 35mph, rear of car suddenly stepped out to the middle of the road and crabbed along with no prior warning. Earlier in the day I had done some 'hot' laps of Hethel, and this happened on the way home 36 miles later. The car is a 1991 and had done about 16,000 road miles. Arch sand blasted and re powder coated the chassis including the tube in 2004 when I did a ground up rebuild. At no time did they or I notice anything wrong. Always jacked from under the diff, but previous owner could have used the tube as a jacking point." Guy

Baggiebird - I am not qualified to say if there are any handling advantages of either of the two mounting points, however like you and from an engineering point of view the “through the tube” mounting seems a better, stronger option. Due to a De Dion failure in 2007 I did some research and came across Ian Bruce’s very informative post Summary of Dedion tube failures and it became quite obvious that, although mine wasn’t, the majority of failures were with the under slung damper mounts shearing off. The tubes are still a stock item at Caterham Cars (P/No: 79016) so your choice to stick with the "through the tube" mounting will be fine should you ever need to replace the tube in the future. Guy

I have had the Lidl one for about 6 years and its been faultless

Not sure that using PTFE tape on brakes is good engineering practice.

After following you on the sighting laps at Brands Hatch, I would ask yourself if you will stay on the track long enough to get any heat into slicks Dave
