  1. John, thanks for the offer but as they're for racing I'll not take them as they may get refused by scrutineering. Cheers, Rob
  2. Pair of race type cycle wing stays required. Condition not too important so long as they're straight ie only bent where they should be bent . Thanks, Rob
  3. It's a long, long way away and very expensive - I'd be interested if it was closer to home and cheaper!
  4. The trailer ad Pendennis linked to was sold at lunchtime today - appeared to be a good price with lots of interest. BJ are supposed to be bringing out a Caterham specific covered trailer next year so I may wait and see what this is like - I would imagine expensive ! Meanwhile, I'll keep looking and see what comes up.
  5. Simon, thanks for trying but not what I'm looking for. Cheers, Rob
  6. Thanks Stu, much appreciated.
  7. Blatmailed you James, interested depending on model etc. Rob
  8. I'm considering upgrading my Minno Max to a Minno Shuttle. Anyone have or know of one for sale? Thanks, Rob
  9. Race logic vbox with OLED display, ideally the Caterham edition. Anyone giving up racing, or know of anyone, and wanting to sell one? Cheers, Rob
  10. I'll have a pair please with a pair of the spring clips as well. Thanks, Rob
  11. I'd be interested in a pair depending on price. Cheers, Rob
  12. That's great, thanks for the info guys.
  13. Thanks for the responses. Richard - I'd appreciate it if you could get me some overall external dimensions at some point. Simon - may be interested once I know if it will fit in my garage. Thanks, Rob
  14. I’m considering upgrading from my Minno Max to a Minno Shuttle but BJ no longer make them. Before I start searching for a good used specimen could an existing owner please get me the overall external dimensions – I want to be sure that I can store it ? I know it may sound obvious but I’m looking for: Overall length (including draw bar) Overall width (at widest point) Overall height (at highest point) I’ve been told that the bed dimensions for a Minno Shuttle are 3.3m x 1.65m, can anyone confirm whether or not an S3 with widetrack front suspension will fit these bed dimensions ? Thanks, Rob.
  15. Tonneau required for a Series 3 car with a full cage fitted. Headrest pockets for tillets required.
  16. Standard S3 nose cone mesh grill and a '7' grill required please. Condition (within reason) and colour not important as I plan to paint them. Not sure if there are any different ones around but they're for a 2012 car.
  17. Standard mirror required to fit on a sidescreen. Thanks, Rob
  18. BTTT Pairs or even singles considered!
  19. 4off Caterham 6" x 13" eight spoke alloy wheels wanted like these. these Ideally a set of four but any multiple accepted. Ideally without tyres but will consider with tyres fitted. Colour and condition unimportant but must be straight and true.
  20. Thanks for the responses. The axles are stamped as rated at 800kg and I know my car is less than 700kg fully loaded with fuel and me in it so surely in theory it should be ok with just one axle? Not checked the nose height but the towball height is fixed so only option would be to lift the hitch with packers on the A frame - is this good practice?
  21. I have a 2009 Brian James Minno Max which I bought used in 2011 and both tyres on the rear axle are heavily worn on the inside shoulder, tyres on the front axle are wearing evenly. All the tyres were good when I bought it and it’s probably done about 2500 miles on them since. May be it’s unrelated but I’ve also lost the wheel bearing cover from the left hand rear hub twice this year. I’ve spoken to BJ and they suggested it could be: Overloading – it has a tyre rack which I’ve never used, a fuel can box which usually has two full 20litre cans in it and I’ve only ever had an S3 on it which sits with the timing strut on the grill approx 10mm clear of the fuel can box. Play in the wheel bearings – I’ve checked them and they’re OK. If neither of the above then swap the axles front to back and see if the wear occurs on the same axle or the same position (IYSWIM?) - I’m not about to swap axles around just to see what happens. Spoke to Indespension who also suggested overloading and that the axle may have failed. He described the axle construction as an outer box section with a rubber bush inside and then an inner box section pressed inside the rubber bush. Theory is that overloading the trailer causes the rubber insert to fail which cannot be replaced and a new axle is required. Anyone had similar experiences and got any advice on what can be checked and/or adjusted and how to do it? If it does come to replacing an axle, where is the best place to get one from, Indespension said they would have to measure it up and get one made - quoted £300+VAT with a four week lead time, I daren’t ask BJ for a price ! Read on BC: Camber should be zero – is this correct and how do I measure and adjust it? Toe – assume it should be straight but if not how do I adjust it? I’m going to need two new tyres as an absolute minimum – any suggestions for best place & price to source them from? Thanks in anticipation, Rob
