    Bike Rack!

    By Mr C Bored,

    Since taking up Mountain Biking with a group of local fellow-Seveners, we had the dilemma of taking the 7 on a trip, OR the bikes.
    Not any more! Look away purists…
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/82/WLW-BikeRack_10E42-Rack1_thumb.jpg
     
    Just in time for the cold, dark winter – I have finally got round to rigging a set-up that allows us to take the bikes on the 7 and so enjoy the best of both worlds.
    I had originally intended to design and make my own rack, using various components sourced from rack manufacturers, but a ‘eureka’ moment in the car park led me to try the existing model that I had been using for 2 years on the top of our tin-top. If I could use this, I would have a tried and tested method for securing the bikes.
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/82/WLW-BikeRack_10E42-Rack2_thumb.jpg
     My Enduro is actually quite a big, long MTB, but fits perfectly.
     
    Sure enough, it all fits surprisingly easily! The clamps are just about big enough to clamp onto the FIA Bar, there is clearance all round so that one can still open the boot, and everything is very solid. I just need to tweak a little bit of the rubber grip to enable a slightly better fit on the round tubing, but apart from that – it is ready to go! I have used a strap on the top bar for testing purposes, just in case – but local drives show that nothing shifts.
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/82/WLW-BikeRack_10E42-Rack8_thumb.jpg
     Fitting support bike perfectly.
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/82/WLW-BikeRack_10E42-Rack4_thumb.jpg
    I shall work on this fixing to make it fit a little better, but it is secure.
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/82/WLW-BikeRack_10E42-Rack6_thumb.jpg
     Still have access to the boot, and I think a half-hood could fit if required.

    With 2 bikes on the rack, everything is even more solid, as fixing the bikes together using a bracing bar stops any sideways wobble.
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/82/WLW-BikeRack_10E42-Rack3_thumb.jpg
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/82/WLW-BikeRack_10E42-Rack5_thumb.jpg
     Bracing two bikes together makes things even more solid.
     
    The rig is just about low enough to fit in our garage like this, so it also solves bike storage.
    The type of rack I am using also comes with locks, so the bikes are locked to the rack, the bike rack components are locked to the roof bars, and the roof bars are locked to the car!
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/82/WLW-BikeRack_10E42-Rack7_thumb.jpg
     
    Yes, ok – it all looks a bit odd, but it now means that we will start using the 7 a little bit more, as we can take the bikes with us down to parents on the Quantocks, and enjoy the good riding, and the good driving. Hopefully we will get down to the Alps again, but this time we can take the 7 with us to enjoy the great roads.
     
    Even better – with standard roof-rack fittings retained, there is the option of adding a ‘roof box’ for those longer trips!

    Wedding Cake Car

    By Mr C Bored,

    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-000_thumb.jpg
    Following a Blatchat plea for a suitably sized car for a wedding cake, I offered to convert a small Hornby kit I had.
    So armed with a can of the correct coloured paint, and a handful of pictures, here is the result!
    Kevin had helped me out in the past, so it was a pleasure to be able to return the favour!
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-001_thumb.jpg
     
    The kit is a 1:32 scale of a 2002 race car – about the most modern model of a Caterham/7 I have seen actually.
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-002_thumb.jpg
    It is very basic, but goes together well enough…
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-004_thumb.jpg
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-005_thumb.jpg
    Modified the roll bar to FIA spec!
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-007_thumb.jpg 
    I wasn’t going to the levels of detail of the other models for this – after all, it is just for a wedding cake,
    but at the same time I wanted to make sure it looked like Kev’s car, so needed to add some headrests!
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-006_thumb.jpg
    Penny shows scale of the fire extinguisher – this is mounted between the front seats, so is pretty prominent.
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-008_thumb.jpg
    Caterham logo on the wheels!

    Another scaling shot – printed off a dashboard and logo. Black surround for windscreen.

    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-011_thumb.jpg
    Thought seat belts would be a nice touch – printed on paper. Fire extinguisher mounted!
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-012_thumb.jpg
    Due to the similarity in colour I couldn’t resist showing the car next to the 1:12 version – Kev, your car is on the left – don’t expect the other one!

    Should really have parked our real 7 behind for this shot…

    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/70/WLW-WeddingCakeCar_C355-014_thumb.jpg
    Have a cracking day Kevin & Jessica, so pleased to have been able to contribute in a very small (1:32) way!

    A few pictures from earlier this evening when we went down to Dunsfold to set up about 250 cones for the Slalom/Hooning Day.

    So, two years after moving into our current rental abode, our master plan has worked, and one of our neighbours have bought their first Caterham! Although both Steve and Felicity (now L7C members!) are both petrolheads, I reckon we can claim influence on their decision!
    After a trip with us to Abbeville, where Steve got to drive on track, I think they were hooked – not just on the car, but on the friendly social scene that this little car [club] seems to generate as well.

    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/40/WLW-CommonasMucktheseCaterhams_14AFE-steve1_thumb.jpg
     
    So – after a few weeks looking, they bought this lovely R300 from a local Porsche Specialist – it had been the dealers own car…
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/40/WLW-CommonasMucktheseCaterhams_14AFE-steve0_thumb.jpg
     
    Arrival back home, and the start of that grin!

    ‘What have I done…?!’
     
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/40/WLW-CommonasMucktheseCaterhams_14AFE-steve5_thumb.jpg
     
    First (ever!!) blat for Felicity – luckily, she loved it!

    Sunday 5th April and we decided to drive down to the Goodwood Breakfast Club for the first time in about a year. Weather looked good, and we had friends to drive down with.
    I managed to persuade everyone that we should get a really early start, as it fills up really quickly now it has become an established event. So, at about 6.30am, Steve & Felicity, Mark & Sharon, Neil, Tessa & I set off down from Godalming. Amazingly, we did not meet a single car on the way down, so it was a great early Blat…
    …and getting there really early meant that we would get a good parking spot!
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/44/WLW-GoodwoodBreakfastClubApril09_3D2-LineUp2_thumb.jpg
    Of course it actually meant we were just about the first people there…sorry guys!

    The theme this week was ‘Family Favourites’ so there was a great mix of cars to watch gradually arrive.

    X-Bow always generated interest, but I’m not sure…it has some nice touches, but to me the ‘sum’ looks a little ungainly – maybe it is that ‘bumper’ at the front, or the fact that it is bigger than you think it may be….

    The most common thing that could be heard around the paddock on this ‘Family Favourites’ day was ‘My Dad had one of them…’ Well, we had one of these (though a more basic model!) I can just about remember this car from when I was very young…
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/44/WLW-GoodwoodBreakfastClubApril09_3D2-DSC07865-tiltshift_thumb.jpg
    Of course some cars will always be classics!
     
    We left the crowds (leaving before the plane incident!) and set off back home to watch the eventful Malaysian F1 GP – the roads were not quite as quiet as when we had set off in the morning, but the sun was out and it was fun to just re-discover the joys of the casual Blat…

    First Blog Entry

    By Mr C Bored,

    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/36/WLW-FirstBlogEntry_D564-Slidegraphic_thumb.jpg
     
    Excellent idea and website update Barry!! Hopefully I’ll be able to update this and use it more regularly than mycaterham.com that is currently undergoing a very large, 5 years-worth-of-stuff update! This is perfect for the more day-to-day stuff…

    Proof of Life…

    By Mr C Bored,

    Came across this video recently, which I took when Jason was working on our engine. You need sound (obviously) to hear our K-series engine breathing…
    Incidentally – and I am not sure if this is true or not – but in this clip you can see the ‘K’ shaped casting of the bearing ladder (not sure if that is the correct name either!) that supposedly gave the engine its ‘K-Series’ name – as I say, may not be true!

    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/48/WLW-EngineOutBlatchatSupport_15106-banner_thumb.jpg
     
    Ok – a couple of pictures to support a tech posting on Blatchat, about taking an engine out. See here: http://www.blatchat.com/t.asp?Id=168183
    I’ve got a few pictures to post which may help with some elements. Main element you need is a ‘Mark Collins’ who has a nice garage with a nice winch. This helps a great deal.
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/48/WLW-EngineOutBlatchatSupport_15106-c_thumb.jpg
    The picture above does show where we have looped the strops around the engine – these positions will be different if you are lifting the gearbox out at the same time, in order to balance the load:
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/48/WLW-EngineOutBlatchatSupport_15106-j_thumb.jpg
    Carpet or similar over the front of the chassis will stop a swinging engine scraping your powder coating on the chassis rails:
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/48/WLW-EngineOutBlatchatSupport_15106-1_thumb.jpg
    The next picture shows the engine going ‘in’ – note the apollo tank still connected, but tied up on-top of the engine. The breather pipe has been disconnected to enable this:
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/48/WLW-EngineOutBlatchatSupport_15106-2_thumb.jpg
    Also note the jack at the front of the car that has been used to raise the car and make the entry angle of the gearbox better.
    /Portals/14/Blog/Files/15/48/WLW-EngineOutBlatchatSupport_15106-3_thumb.jpg
    Engine (and car) fully lowered.
    I made a quick video clip using the pictures that were taken during the process of the engine being put back in the car, as seen above. It is almost brilliant – but sadly we didn’t actually take any pictures of the moment the engine is finally lowered in place – so we have just before, and fully in – next time I take the engine out I’ll take some more pictures, as it could be useful…
     
     
     
    A winch on a rail above the car certainly makes life easier – but you can do the same with an engine crane….

    *WARNING* – when doing so, always remember to undo the fixings holding the engine in the car (mounts, cables, etc etc) BEFORE trying to lift the engine out….

    Some more shots of the engine bay, again showing the strapped-up apollo tank. Also note the location of straps…

    Engine Out:

    Slightly more serious warning – make sure you connect the pipes up again in the correct place. If someone accidently should connect the fuel and coolant pipes the wrong way around on the intake manifold, this is the result…

    The shot below shows a few things. You can see where we have stuck some self-adhesive, ali-coated insulating blanket on the passenger pedal box. You can see the clutch release bearing – if you are taking the engine out for something else, and you have never touched the bearing, may be worth at least checking, and maybe replacing anyway…

    BUT – more importantly, note the strap that is holding the gearbox up once the engine has been removed. The strap is wrapped around a black metal bar that has been placed on-top of the chassis. Advantage of doing this, as opposed to using a jack to support the gearbox, is that it is far easier to move the car around, which can be useful when lowering the engine back into the car – trying to co-ordinate rolling the car and a jack that is under the gearbox can be a pain…
    Just found another shot of the same principle:

    When lifting the engine/gearbox assembly, be aware that it gets pretty close to the pedal box/footwell near the bell housing-this is pre-rebuild…

    Oh yes – whilst you have the engine out, check the engine mounts. They can look ok when the engine is in and stationary, but look closely…

    And finally – here is one of the easier engine installation jobs we have undertaken. To be honest, we just chucked it in…

    To support a Tech Talk topic – here is what a well worn fuel level sender looks like! 100,000 miles of fuel and moving up and down had finally worn through the fine wires!

    Rust probably wasn’t helping signal!
