Hi Chris,

In my experience they fit where they touch....!

Does it fit the scuttle contour before you tighten the bolts or is it a bad fit from the off?

I had to enlarge the holes and put it under pressure then tighten the bolts to come anywhere near an acceptable gap. Even that was poor so I lines the leading edge with a 'U' shaped rubber strip (like the IVA wing rubber). I never did like the CC popper arrangement, and unless you are after 'quick-release' ability, I would recommend screwing directly to the scuttle utilising the redundant popper self-tapper holes.

Cheer Phil

When I changed my wings to carbon I 'forgot' to fit the indicators.  Passed several MOTs without comment.

I have econoseal crimp tool if you wish to borrow for the cost of return postage......BM me if you need 

I Have a brand new, never used, Soft Bits for Sevens half hood plus storage bag for a metric S3 surplus to requirements. Cost £200.00 last September. Selling for £175.00 inc. postage or collection from Worthing area.

H6 FIA double diagonal Rollbar with dimension A = 81cm. This is basically the latest Caterham track day rollbar made by Caged.

This is not vinyl, nor is it mohair as such - its Soft Bits equivalent (not sure what it's called).

I am unable to see the photos on my blog page....or am I missing something?

Edit - Also, are emojis not available on originator's new subject posts?

Another - Why does the line spacing go haywire when posted?

Stu's point about the spare wheel is valid as without it can send up a fine mist which gets everywhere.   I'm told that fitting a mesh wind deflector to the roll bar works well.

Having said that, I don't carry a spare and experienced some horrendous downpours in France this year with none of the problems Stu describes. I did, however, have a boot bag which probably act in the same manner as the spare wheel.

I recently purchased half hoods from both Thundersport and Soft Bits (don't ask!).

As Soft Bits are local to me I have always supported their products and had one of the original HH which I sold on to a club member and its still going strong.

The SB one has straight(ish) sides and reflective strips on the curve of the roll bar. It uses two 'Y' shaped straps at the rear as opposed to the single one used by TS. They also employ directional studs for the side straps.  I have seen many variations of the male stud arrangement - Some piggyback onto the existing tonneau studs and others fit a dedicated one straight into the bodywork. The seam that runs inside across the roll bar is better protected to avoid chaffing the powder coating.

The Thundersport version drops down at the sides and follows the contour of the door which looks neater in my opinion. It appears to gives marginally better cover behind the seats and to the rear, however, how effective this is I couldn't say. I don't like the side strap fixing method which uses a large eyelet that fits under the roll bar bolt and is a permanent fixture. The roll bar seam is exposed and may chafe after a while.

Overall, I'm afraid to say I prefer the TS version in Mohair (similar to SB canvas I believe) with a couple of mods. Firstly, I asked them to supply the side straps without the eyelet and I fitted the directional stud arrangement to the redundant hood stick mounting lugs. Secondly, I glued a felt strip over the seam inside to stop the chaffing.

My previous car was a nightmare like that. I carried a flexible pipe to push further into the filler. The type supplied with plastic fuel cans work well.

Popped into Goodwood on the way back from a blat and parked next to a green and yellow K series with clams. Chatted to the owner, Julian, for ages and found that he had owned the car from new and at one time used the car as his only transport.

Soon after another 7 arrived reg R400 EEK (sorry, forgotten your name) and we gathered for a general tyre kicking and further chatting.

Ended up staying for around 2 hours....that's Severning for ya!

Spotted around 7:30 am today. Green T926 SRT going south on A24 to Worthing.

Beals do a range of  boots and lots of other goodies. Here

Linky on me. Here

Almost tempted....!

I think its because your link is missing the http: bit. Try adding the link and renaming something like 'here'.

Don't think the link is working...well not for me anyway!

Nice one Les.

Today around 5:30

Not a sniff I'm afraid.
 

Tim YHM - First dibs please.

There appears to be such a demand for the original RiF carbon aeroscreen design, I'm surprised an enterprising C/F company has not taken up the challenge. 

Where are you based Clive?

As the press studs on Sevens can be a bit random it is wise to see the tonneau fitted first IMHO.

Shorter stems are available and SPA will make a custom length during a production run at a small increase in cost - well they did for me some time ago.

rear view mirror so high it really obstructs the view - ditto!

Spotted in the car park of my local polling station this morning. Owner was one of the clerks and he kindly let me sit in the drivers seat whilst enthusing about his pride and joy. Fantastic car and a lovely chap.

I've dropped out of intercom Ed so feel free.

Interested in the Terra trip intercom main unit 2 practice headsets and 4 ext leads.
