The primaries on an SLR are a lot smaller than those on a R500. You would need to swap in a complete SLR system to use the cat. Cheers - Simon

Have had this sitting on a shelf for a while, awaiting a suitable project, Anyone interested for £500 including postage? Cheers - Simon

The bracket is £6 from CC: http://caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_product=735

Do you mean the fuel filter bracket? The pump is inside the tank and doesn't have a bracket, as such.

I have a RiF carbon interchangeable aero. Looking for £200, plus P&P. Let me know if you are interested. Cheers - Simon

Current project has a block that has been decked too low for a road car, so I am looking for a replacement block. Would also consider a complete engine, in any condition :) Cheers - Simon

£2.10 is very cheap. Is the £10 one delivered? I paid 12.79 including delivery here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361554628726?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Fantastic!

Hi George, I have a RiF carbon screen - this is the one that attaches via the existing screen stanchion mounting holes, so quick-changeable. Comes with centre and side mirrors. PM me with your email if interested and I can send pics. I'm near Camberley, so not far from you if you want to see before you buy. Cheers - Simon

I had a couple of standard serial leads and just modified one of them by cutting back the insulation and re-joining a couple of wires. The spec. is on the Emerald website. BTW - Emerald are a great company and provide a lot of support for free, so paying over the top occasionally will help support them! If you give them a call, they may turn out to have the base lead for less. Cheers - Simon

Looking for a reasonable 5-speed 'box if anyone has upgraded to 6-speed? Thanks, Simon

I think I might - PM me to remind me to look!

Sure I have a couple - PM me if you are still looking. Cheers - Simon

I have the one Mankee linked to - got mine from Halfords. Makes it really easy and doesn't split the boot.

I agree that you cold probably do with the extra bracket - but have you replaced the engine mounting rubbers? There should be no discernable movement of the engine when you try and rock it..

..only a little tongue-in-cheek. I must admit to having looked into cheaper suppliers in the past and have been reminded that we should be supporting Caterham and I mostly agree with that sentiment.

Actually, considering Caterham are currently running a £20M loss, I reckon we should be putting the business their way, shouldn't we?

I've seen (and bought) the exact same mirror in Halfords.

I have a 1444 spare.

Ah - I see, all adds up then. 10k in 14 years is quite impressive!

It could be to do with the manufacture time. When Arch made early chassis - before 2001 - the powdercoating was pretty good. There were then a few years when the coating didn't do so well and flaked/rusted. Your car/chassis may be one that lasted better - or may have been refinished at some time. The deDion is definitely newer than the car, so may be from the 'dubious' era, or could have come from a completely different car. A small concern is that your car would probably have originally had a dedion with the shock mounting through the tube instead of under it. If that is the case and you are on your original shocks, then they may not have the travel they should have. Alternatively, the shocks may have been changed when the deDion was. Re: JKs comment above - the wire in the brake pad is a depth sensor. Many pads being sold these days have the wear sensor built in, but not used in the Caterham fitment. The wire can be cut away, where it enters the side of the pad material. However, it it doesn't enter the pad, then it may be a wheel speed sensor. The pad wear wiring tends to be very short and wouldn't reach along the wishbone. A speed sensor may be behind the caliper - it would normally be mounted so that it nearly touches the heads of the bolts on the back of the disc - it counts the bolts as they past and sends a signal to a speedometer. There may have been a bike speedo on your car at some point. Cheers - Simon

Hi Joseph, it looks like one of the later ones, with the extra flange supporting the front of the suspension mounting boss. The earlier ones didn't have this extra support and in extreme cases, the boss peeled away from the deDion tube. However, I'd strongly recommend getting the tube blasted and checked as soon as is practical, as that rust/bubbling could be hiding a lot. I can't recall ever seeing a tube as uniformly rusty as that.. ETA - it looks like an series 5 tube, here: http://213-04.com/t.asp?id=94283 HTH - Simon
