I went for the Mocal gauge from Think as well: here's the fitted gauge and here's my notes on fitting, hope that helps.

😬 I'm really pleased its gone to a good home!

Hi Bobo, I've sent you a blatmail about my car which might be of interest. Jonathan

You drove past us on old Hunstanton Road in Heacham this evening - I was the idiot in the tin top flashing and waving 😬 Looked a nice evening for a blat Jonathan

Hi I was in the blue seven going the other way. Nice to get some warmth into the tyres (and driver!) 😬 Jonathan Edited by - JonathanP on 21 Feb 2009 16:39:11

Hi Geoff, Just on an off chance, if you happened to be selling one of the geared heads (410 or similar) I'd be interested... Jonathan

Sandy, I fitted the parts from Think probably 3 years ago now, and the gauge they supplied I thought matched the rest of the instruments well: here. Is that the one you got? Jonathan

Hi Andrew, My son is interested in the guitar - I've sent you a blatmail. Jonathan

And if anyone should know about long term Caterham storage... 😬 😬 😬 Edited by - JonathanP on 18 Aug 2008 17:41:54

Hi Paul, I went for option (2) with nyloc's - doesn't look too bad and I'm happy they're not going to come off! Jonathan Edited to say I'd recommend offering up the stanchion to your car before drilling just in case you've been sent the wrong one luckily I decided to check Edited by - JonathanP on 8 Aug 2008 18:23:54

Hi Graham, The captive nut retaining channels replace existing ones that don't have the plate with the nuts on - so its just a case of unbolting the old and on with the new. However, in my case, the captive nuts didn't quite line up with the holes in the bodywork - they were a bit lower, so I solved this by making a couple of shims out of 2mm ali and putting that below the retaining channels. There's more than enough stud sticking up to do that. Yes you need to remove the knee protectors mine are fitted with black self-tappers which you might want to use when refitting just in case you want to get in there in the future. There shouldn't be anything else to remove. Hope that helps, Jonathan

This evening you passed me on the A11 going south - one green with clam shells and a white R400. I was in the silver BMW flashing my headlights and waving Actually it was a double spot, since the green clam shells passed me again in Linton as I was about to turn in my drive, but you looked a bit puzzled as why this idiot kept flashing you 😬 Jonathan

I had a Draper conditioner that overcharged my battery (needed to keep topping it up ). Switched to CTEK 3600 and now battery keeps its charge and levels You're welcome to my Draper if I haven't binned it

I changed my 48 to a 52 when I visited Oily a couple of years ago. The main difference is that the std 48 has an extra "half moon" lump of plastic attached to the butterfly. This has the effect of limiting the opening at small amounts of throttle - I think designed to give a more gentle power rise for your tradditional Rover driver (don't want to dislodge that flat cap). The 52 metal TB has a flat butterfly without this restriction

Matt, Hope this might help - some notes and pictures I took when I fitted mine. It was quite an easy job. Jonathan
