  1. Neil at Vicfibretech, nice product and half Caterhams price. Dartford Composites, from my experience, a complete waste of time.
  2. Who does the best deal on a Rapfix including upper column vat & p/p Thanks for any opinions.
  3. Quoting David Mirylees: Quoting Jonathan Kay: Use the little speech balloon icon as the first action in replying. Great stuff - many thanks 😬 and thanks from me as well.
  4. I'm with Weeman on this, looks are the most important thing.
  5. Its off, thanks for the help,I didn't realize the gaiter held it that tight.
  6. Trying to remove the handbrake sleeve , Tech Talk suggestion was twist and pull, tried that but the handbrake is twisting under the tunnel cover, any other ideas please.
  7. there is one on ebay ,latest bid £1.20 3+days to go. John.
  8. Be careful when sizing the SV grill, I purchased a new nosecone last year for my 04 SV and the old grill was about 25mm smaller than the new aperture. So a new grill could be too large for a older car. Cheers John.
  9. Neil Vickery made me a pair of front cycle wings, quality spot on and half the price of Caterhams. No knowledge of their nose cones.
  10. Halfords Ford Radiant Red is quite a good match.
  11. In five minutes I've separated the ball joint, hey I'm a mechanic [not].How do you press the gaitor metal top up with the rod end still attached, any tips appreciated thanks. Cheers John.
  12. One of my top wishbone gaitors has split, as the car is 7years old and has done 50k+ I was going to fit a new top w/bone rod end, would it be a good idea to replace both sides.
  13. HI, If the stanchions are still available can I take those please, I don't want the screen etc. will still pay for the lot. Cheers John
  14. Can anybody tell me if thishere is a replacement part for a Caterham indicator lamp? Thanks
  15. That will be great,can you let me know regarding post /packing etc. Thanks very much, Cheers John [born in Rainham Essex] now in Cheshire.
  16. A pair if possible,thanks
  17. When the top of my speedo button broke off a year ago, I super glued it back on.
  18. I've just fitted a pair today, very good finish, half the Caterham price and they are slightly heavier, give Neil Vickery a ring 07883079410 if you need a particular colour he's a helpfull bloke, and yes 8.5" DON'T buy from Dartford Composites Cheers John
  19. Bonded on six years ago by Caterham Midlands, when the wings are viewed from the outside, a ridge can be seen where each wingstay is located. Does anyone know what causes this please ? Also the standard red gel coat has faded to orange. I intend to replace all four wings in red again, any opinions on the best supplier? Cheers John.
  20. SM25T Thanks for the reply, its a 1.8 k vvc 2004 with a pull slave cylinder.Would I need any other bits apart from the cable, is it a easy fit at the pedal end ? do you know why vvc are hydraulic ? Cheers John
  21. Lost all clutch fluid yesterday, due to slave cylinder failure. Phone up parts dept. to order a seals kit ,only to be told they don't stock a repair kit, bin it and buy a new one (£114). Is there any alternative ?
  22. Wed 28th July on the N91 just after Briancon, parked up by the Guisane river. John.
