Hi Alan Thanks for the spot, my first I think. I hope your trip continues as you have planned. We have had some great roads and are looking forward to tomorrow. I took the half hood off, following your lead, and managed to avoid most of the showers. Lawrence

Thanks for the info guys

Does any one know what the red line is set at for a Duratec SSR/R400 with the 220 bhp Caterham upgrade? Thanks

I'm investigating the possibility of s bulk buy on Double D metric RoadSport cages. There is a thread started on FB market place and I thought I would investigate interest here and on PistonHeads as well. If you are keen please add your name to any of the threads on any platform. Please note by adding your name you are not committing to purchase at this stage, it is just so I can get an idea of numbers. Thanks Lawrence

Can I get that cranking handle in carbon?

The standard Caterham tilletts are not shown on the tillett product range and are only available through Caterham. The mounting holes on them are horizontal, so you would have to make up some brackets to adapt between them and the supports. Also, I am not sure you would have room to fit them unless you are buying an SV.

Hi Marcus, I am 6 foot and it is ok for me. With the seat angled back I don't think there is much room between it and the bulk head. I have moved the steering wheel towards me a little and still could move the pedals back if required. I think I would try in the lowered floor pan holes first because the further you move the seat back the less you can angle it. The angle contributes significantly to the reduction of head height. I can take a few photos if that helps.

I have done it to mine. I had to use tillett spacers to angle the seat back and ensure the weight is distributed correctly. In the weight lose thread I gave details. Lawrence

Julian, my original floor was two piece, ali sheet and ply board, I am not sure what each weigh individually but combined they were over a kg. In reality I have no idea what my car weighs. I guess about 550 kg. It is a duratec which won't help for a start, I think the quoted weight is 540 kg but I am sure this will be for the most stripped out unpainted aero only car. I have a nominal target of 600 kg driver + car If anyone has a good guess of how much a 2015 Supersport R running, TB's, dry sump, a six speed box, but no heater would weigh I would be really interested. I have removed the windscreen, hood and doors, have a non FIA roll bar (full cage on order) plus all the other stuff documented on this thread. The only way to be sure of course is to have the meet up somewhere with scales.

A bit more weight loss tonight. Finally the LH rear wing fixings replaced with nylon. 0.068 kg Boot floor, all the thanks to Julian for this one. 0.860 kg Screen wash bottle and fluid removed. 0.771 kg Total loss so far of 10.16 kg

Good choice, you won't even notice they are missing.

Few! You had me worried for a minute

You're not thinking of ADDING weight are you?!!!! tut tut.

I owned R2 BOY from Millwoods about 5.5 years ago. I kept it for four years and sold it before buying my new one.
