    First track day, what do I need to know?

    Fuel is available down the road, best to pop out at lunchtime and top up.  A torque wrench for checking wheel nuts, tyre pressure gauge would help.  I usually take spare throttle cable, exhaust bobbin, engine oil to top up if needed, some masking tape in case anything needs temporary fixing onto the car. You can take the kitchen sink but you can guarantee whatever may fail you won’t have it, although someone else might.  

    As for booking it in for a service, hopefully you’ve done that before but it’s always worth getting the car checked over after by someone who knows what they are doing after some hard track miles. Caterhams are built for the circuit. Tyres wear a lot less than those heavy tin tops.

    Enjoy it.

    I am just fitting a 6 Point crotch strap and from what I can see with Tillets that is going to be difficult to do between the two positions. I did wonder if you could fit 2 crotch straps, one for you and one for your girlfriend set to two different lengths?

    I know that Solent 7s AR Andy Golden has one fitted to his R400D and from the conversation I had with him it is considered a fit and forget option. Not sure how it performs mind🤔

    LED headlight recommendations

    I’d wager the ones off Ebay are the same as the Cafe Racer ones.  Think some people are making good money from selling these LED headlights well over what they are being sourced for.  As for the Caterham ones, ludicrously over priced.  Shame.

    Picture shows Cafe Racer ones.

    Restoring Bare Carbon Wings

    in TechTalk

    Try T cut and hair dryer on the white spot areas, and once most of the spots have faded use Woodsilk polish(available in all good supermarkets).  If this fails to restore them then you probably need them machine polished and a UV protection clear coat carried out at a body shop.
