Hello All

Who manufactured the screw on oil cap for the belltank for the K serie dry sump?

I'm looking for a spare one with no engraving on it.

Jack

I did the Cardboard Aided Design and the PLA 3D printing is an aditional step to make sure all the brackets fill fit.

The final product will be in stainless or aluminium.

If gluing the light is the correct one, the design of the headlight bracket is done. If not I will have to find a different solution.

Jack

Thanks Stephen

I've ordered a 3D printing of the bonnet bracket.

The headloight bracket is giving more issue to draw.

The 3 triangular shape are design to be bonded to the bonnet

The three rod a m5 threaded bar and are design to fit into the 3 flanges on the headlight bracket.

3D version of the headlight bracket

I am working out how to attach the headlights to the bonnet of my 21.

So far, I have created a “bonnet” bracket and now I am working in creating a “headlight bracket.

I'm using plastic body Wipac units which were supplied with plastic bowl and metal ring which attaches the headlight to the bowl.

I also bought a different type of bracket; however, it uses the same type of ring for attaching the headlight unit.

The bracket would be manufactured from stainless steel or aluminium,

The headlight has a 5mm ledge. The surface of the bracket matching it would be approx. 15mm.

I was thinking could this ledge be used to glue the headlight to the bracket using polyurethane adhesive or another type of adhesive (butyl, two-part Methacrylate,…)

Hello All

I’m working on a project, and I need some advice on adhesive.

Do we have an adhesive expert among us?

Hello All

There is an interesting video from Drive Tribe on Youtube about graphene as in coolant.

I called Ivor Terril for the issue I have with my car.

And they told me they won't touch a Caterham.

I'm still looking for one.

Jack

Hello

Still haven't found someone to work on it.

I'm starting a new job in January so , this took priority.

Jack

A few bits, nothing major.

For exemple the ignition light stopped working.

Jack

Called them and they are too busy 😞and don't want to touch a Caterham.

Anyone else

Jack

Thank you Johnathan

I will give Ivor a call

Hello All

Could someone check my math?

The high beam LED signal on the dash is too bright.

It uses 40mA.

If I'm correct, fitting a 320 Ohms resistor in series should drop the brightness by approx 50%?

Jack

Yours!

Can you drop me your address please?

Jack

Hello All.

I'm looking for a company to make a bespoke engine loom for my Caterham 21.

Is there someone who could recommend a company?

The car is currently in Oxfordshire.

Cheers

Jack 

I'm up for for it as well 

Last time i did it on my 21, there was approx 4-5 of us doing it over a Saturday.

i borrowed an engine crane from someone.

You could organize something like this if you can find an engine crane.
