  1. What sort of side impact bar is it please? One of the newer style combined impact and intrusion bars E.g. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-It_1zgcw9EA/WESlPo5zc4I/AAAAAAAADW8/cDEatFMr1aYN2H7jaQr97VEV8Itmqh6AwCLcB/s1600/IMG_9350.jpg Or one of older style separate side impact / rear wheel intrusion bars E.g. http://www.alcester-racing-sevens.com/HD_SIB_Aero_Side_Labelled.JPG I'd be interested if it's one of the newer style combined impact and intrusion bars. Where abouts are you located? James
  2. Just to clarify on the side intrusion bar. I assume it is the older style and not one of these? https://caterhamparts.co.uk/5396-home_default/side-impact-bar-metric-rh-s3.jpg
  3. Yes please for the cam and the vvc mechs. I'll BM you regarding postage etc. Thanks James
  4. YHBM re the Longacre convex race mirror and mountings. James
  5. YHBM re the head restraint. James
  6. Hello, Hope I'm not too late to join the party! I'd like a pair in black please with rubber piping if possible. Thanks James
  7. I'll take the head restraint if still available please. As a fellow resident of wharfedale should be able to sort something without needing to post. Thanks James
  8. I'll take the Adjustable bolt on head restraint please if you can confirm if it is the one for the double diagonal cage? http://caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_product=424
  9. Thanks for the advice guys. Yes, cable opperated so I will have a read thanks John. Should the spigot bearing also be replaced? I understand the spigot bearing also has a spacer-should this be replaced too or can it be reused? James
  10. I have a 2004 Academy Roadsport and am planning to swap the 1.6k for a 1.8 vvc 160. Will it have been fitted with the AP clutch and AP cover as standard? Thinking I should replace the clutch plate while the engine is out. Where is the cheapest place to buy them? Assume the cover plate should still be ok if its an ap one? Should I be changing anything else at the same time - release bearing, etc? Thanks. James
  11. Jon, does the tonneau have tillet pockets and with cutouts for the Roadsport cage? If so I will take it please. James
  12. Hi Andrew, I have also acquired a 1.8 EU3 VVC and am planning to install it where my 2004 1.6 EU3 engine currently sits. I will drop you a BM if you could also send me the JPG images for VVC and MPi please. I will be using a local garage who also specialists in motorsport prep to do the engine swap but would like to understand what is involved with the wiring up and brief them accordingly! Many thanks James
  13. Thanks gents. SPC ratios look good but my existing standard type 9 is pretty quiet so I am now hesitant in taking the plunge. SPC website states 'the gear tooth profiles are much larger than ford original spec and are similar to a typical S/cut gear. The .82 5th gear pair have an increased helix angle and finer pitch teeth for quieter cruising'. I guess that the larger gear teeth profiles will be stronger but the trade off is more noise (though nowhere near as bad as straight cut). BGH don't seem to offer ratios quite as high as SPC but does anyone know if they (or any other suppliers) are likely to be any quieter/as quiet as a standard gearbox?
  14. Chris, how do you find these gear ratios and how does the noise compare to the standard gearbox?
  15. My car didn't originally have external primaries so I enlarged the cut out from the single round hole when I fitted my exhaust. I used a drill powered nibbler and files. Trial fit and cut away as necessary.
  16. Paul, I have a Powerspeed 4-2-1 with Cat in can on my 7. Let me know if you want to view/take any measurements. James
  17. Thanks for the info revilla. James
  18. First dibs please. Just to clarify, what is the difference between a standard k series clutch cable and a vvc one? Many thanks. James
  19. Please can I have a place Andrew. Thanks for organising. James

    VVC belt cover

    After the plastic VVC belt covers (opposite side to the timing belt). Has anyone removed the VVC mechs and got these going spare please? Thanks. James
  21. Thanks for the above gents. Simon, After Christmas would be ok please - planning to start work in the new year. Do you know make/weight of the one you may have available? James
