Sorry they are not copper

Having a clear out. Some of the below are on ebay but willing to discuss if required: X flow alternator Lucas but needs repair ( I think diode pack) £15 sold X Flow big bore exhaust gaskets, two sets at £5 each Trunnion oil gun £15 X Flow oil filter genuine Ford £5 Well used set of Aero screen mirrors £15 sold Carb balancing tool. It is for bikes, however if you fit a brake bleed nipple in the inlet manifold for 2 and 3 cylinders it takes about 2 minutes to balance the carbs and no taking filters off etc. £ 40 Collection from Hampshire (J9 M27) or can post some items. Thanks Nick

Not wishing to state the obvious, however if you plan to remove the engine/gearbox then you will have to disconnect the speedo drive anyway.

Had mine done a PGM earlier this year. A different car afterwards. It did help that they fitted the steering rack properly (a CC car and sold by a "reputable" 7 specialist) so you would have hoped it should have been correct. Took about 3 hours and I was fed plenty of tea and chocolate biscuits. Cannot recommend them highly enough. A proper set up on something as quick and sensitive as a 7 is a must. Nick

Had a similar issue with my Xflow a few years ago. Turned out to be a broken piston ring. The cure I went for, was to get it re-bored and forged pistons. Virtually no oil in breather tank after that. Probably worth doing a compression test to see what you get. Nick

A big thanks to everyone who posted. The last link worked and CC had one in stock. I can only assume that the link I tried, and my search criteria (or my total inability to work technology) was flawed. Cheers

Just for clarity, hoping to use this guide http://www.caterhamr500.co.uk/2015/04/third-brake-light-fitting-guide.html

It is an LED rain light and has resistors for using with car running an alternator, so thats not an issue. CC used do do a wiring kit that just plugged into the back of the existing loom. Happy how to wire it up, just looking for a neater solution than solder/crimps. I will have a look in the boot though to see if there are any fittings Cheers

After some assistance here, I intend to fit a high level brake light (R400D) and I know that CC used to do a wiring kit for that that just plugged in for about £10. However this is no longer on their website, but you can buy a light kit for £80 ish. As I have a rain light to fit, I am not going down that route. I know I can just cut into the existing wires but looking for something a little better than that. Does anyone know if you can still get the wiring kit, or failing that what connectors I need so I can make one up? Thanks

Hi Fitted a high torque one to my crossflow, bit of a faf counting teeth numbers etc and not cheap, however it was awesome and never had any issues. Sorry cant remember where i got it but suspect a quick google will resolve. Cheers Nick

Hi Martin, Where are you. I am sure I have a compression tester lurking at the bottom of the tool box, so it would not be difficult to do a compression test. This would at least give you an indication as to the state of the engine. Cheers Nick

Hi I replaced mine last summer on my old car. Bit of a saga and a couple of pointers: It was around the 30 amp mark, you do not need any more (it is only a small battery). The Lucas one I had is no longer available. I went down the motor factors route and the replacement was too long and was very close to the 4 branch manifold. In the end Redline supplied one that fitted (did need a couple of washers though) If you are interested I still have the lucas one which you could get refurbished but a couple of weeks lead time. Hope this helps Nick

Crudders The rad is the old thick brass type. If your still interested, let me know. Cheers Nick

Hi Simon, Unfortunately my highly technical spares storage system, also known as in the garage somewhere has failed me at the moment and I cannot find it to check that there are no marks. I will have a better look tomorrow cheers Nick

Guy, yep looks like that, genuine ford part. BM your mobile and I will send you a pic if you like. cheers Nick

Yes I think it is. I can sort you out a pic at the weekend if that helps. cheers Nick

No worries will sort out at weekend. Can you send me a BM with details. cheers

Hi Alan, They are in good used condition. Given that they are over £60 each from CC, £60 for the pair would be fine. Thanks Nick

Kristian, There will always be debate within the 7 club over models/spec/colour of cars, thats half the fun! However, having recently got a S3 R400 with roller barrels, they are bonkers fun and I promise you you will not regret it. Cheers Nick
