  1. Followed you along the A38 from Markeaton Island to the A6 turn off. Assume you were on your way back from Donington?
  2. Posting on behalf of Stuart Cater (stuart147), I can honestly say that you won't find a cleaner, more well looked after 7. Link to ad on PH below, please contact Stuart directly via the number on the advert or direct message on here: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/caterham/all-models/caterham-7-1-6-classic-brg/7265499
  3. As others have said, it was a great day with superb organisation. If it is run again next year I can highly recommend it to anyone looking to dip their toe into Track Days. Thanks again. Stu

    Wheel Nuts

    Hi Jonathan, the car had been to the garage for a check and I think they'd used an a airgun as the nuts were incredibly tight when I came to remove them. Once I'd put on the new wheels I tightened them slightly while the car was on the jack then fully once lowered. It was then I noticed two just turning. When I removed them their thread was stripped around the bolt. Yes it was the first time these bolts had been used with the Minilites. They are closed nuts and I used a proper wheel nut tool (can't think of proper name) and then was going to use torque wrench.

    Wheel Nuts

    You may have seen from my other posts that I've had fun and games tonight and ended up stripping two of my wheel nuts. Two questions: How do I stop it happening again, should I apply some grease or copperslip? Do I have the right ones? Car came with Caterham 8 spoke anthracite wheels. The existing nuts have the chamfered edge. I wanted to put on some Minilites and assumed the same nuts would be OK as hole is also countersunk. Interested in people's thoughts.
  6. Paul, you are a genius! Made me realise I still have the old bracket in the garage with 2 nuts on it! See you all in the morning.
  7. Hi Everyone, in my excitement to get the car ready after getting out of work tomorrow I have managed to strip not one but two wheel nuts. I'm still coming in the hope that someone might have some spares! See you tomorrow. Stu
