There are no others, unless you start re-engineering top BJs and TREs.

Agree. Same a longer fast bends like Copse where fuel pick up can become fully exposed. About 7 litres is enough to prevent it on my R400 K-series.

Go aero!

Luke can make the lap strap tails shorter by the same amount as the floor is lowered. (1 1/2")

I second looking for the fixing bolt being too long. Packing with extra gaskets is not a good fix for this as the gaskets won't be clamped hard.

As per PD above... Do you really need to?

If you take it out often enough, eventually you can just whistle and it will jump out!

T1R !!!!!

CR500 still available and Avon intend to keep making it. In many ways it is better for a 7 than the zzr/s. I ran some ZZRs on my R400 and tgen switched back to CR500s. It's a much better car and driving experience. CR500 was designed for the 7. BMTR free fitting and balance if you can go there. If not, most local non national tyre shops will fit/valve/balance for around a tenner a corner. I'm amazed after so, so many posts on BC confirming continued availability of our lovely purpose made tyre that people still ask. Just go buy 'em!

Different compound???

 

Plesse quote the 5 digit code from the sidewall (not the 4digit dot code) so we can compare/look up.

Thanks

Once you've fitted you de Dion ear, check the camber because the tube can bend too. Check A-frame tubes are straight. Up front, stub axle bends but should be ok if you have only grazed the wheel. Full flat-floor set up after will see it good.

Nice data set Steve. What I thought.

Is the R500 running standard (for R500, ie Caterham "big brakes") brakes?

 

0.87G is pretty strong.

With ABS tripped on dry road it could be less.

In a 7 with grippy tyres, nice aggregated road surface, good brake balance and enough pedal feel and progression for a skilled driver to get into the deep slip zone.... Maybe 1G possible...?

Frankly it would be hard to hear any radio in a Caterham, never mind an Ariel....

Also can try cleaning surface of pads by drawfiling with a medium file. remove sheen snd embedded contamination.

Ceratec is a better lubricant for calipers - does not dry out and no clarty solids build up. Designed for the purpose.

Hylomar Blue.

Never leaks, never had plug loosen, reuse whatever washer is there, also stops plugs siezing, low cost, effective, repeatable.

CR500 has not been replaced.

ZZR/S range is a much heavier tyre designed to give Avon an offering in the much wider tintop trackday market. Tried them and went straight back to CR500. The ZZR/S loses so much of the7's chassis ride and steering delicacy they are just not worth it imo.

Quadraphonic for me, thanks!

Nope. 6" ET24, 8" ET0. Unless a very unusual custom arrangement but not in the wheels you've mentioned.

If you buy the 8 spokes they come in the right offsets. Front ET24, Rear ET0. The wheel hubs pcd and studs did not change when chassis went "metric". If you want 6"/8" combo better to get from the start otherwise you are just creating your own upgrade money pit. Whether 8" rears are really required is a whole different debate...

I doubt it's direct fit. Try Reverie smd custom cut the backplate to suit your throttle bodies.

The CR500 is still manufactured.

Available from BMTR

Most tyres have more grip than ZV3 in the wet. They also have very stiff carcass construction which is utterly at odds with the requirements of a light car. The movement of the centre of pressure of the contact patch introduces many issues, even on a heavy Mercedes!

Be aware that polybushes work on a different principle to bonded rubber bushes. It is not all positive as people selling them or people who have just spent their hard earned cash may tell you. As above: fix your leak!

Just use two side mirrors.
