  1. Past experience has proven to me that you really do need the mid stay for the clamshells.

    The wings are subject to pretty high pressures and vibration with the result that I have seen extremely large holes appearing where the rearmost rivnuts have pulled out.

    I have also seen cars with wide track and clamshells with the wings spaced out from the main tub. I suppose that, if the spacers are not a continuous wing length unit, it would slightly help relieve the pressure?

     

     

  2. Mine arrived today as well. Thought I'd just see how good they were by trying one with a 9v PP9 battery.

    That was hours ago and my eyes still havn't fully recovered! Very bright 😬

  3. I have seen a few Caterhams fitted with the 8" wiper blades used on Westfields (normal tin top type of wiper) - Not sure if any mods to the wiper arm were made.

    Also believe that there were instructions on adapting a common or garden wiper blade in the L7C Hints and Tips many years ago.

  4. Just a thought - do you have a manual override switch for the cooling fan?

    It's always easier to keep an engine from getting hot rather than try to bring it down from a higher temperature.

    My 7 doesn't have an otter switch just a manual switch. Whenever I see a queue or am entering somewhere like Milan, I just switch the fan on.
