The Pikey

Just a few bits to get you going..

Plenum or T.B's

Alternator and mount

Exhaust

Bell housing

Engine mounts

Engine loom

Wet or dry sump

Gearbox input shaft

ECU

New coolant hose set and maybe a rad

Raceline may be able offer you a package deal.

Jason

Hopefully it's the belt tensioner, alternator or water pump bearings and not the cam chain tensioner.

I need one quite quick to give SPC when I pick the new box up.

Hi Kev

the yellow 7 I sold had a BGH with a very long first and a lovely box. The BGH I have now has a long first but not as long as the first one and I can feel the difference. Also for some reason the current one is noisy compared with the first although this may just be me looking for an excuse to fit the better ratios I ordered my SPC box today and want it yesterday so I'm out of a bulk buy, sorry.

I still need a donor box though if anyone has one

paul

yes been looking but they never seem to be near me or they want like £200 plus post for one. Collection ones have been going for as little as £20 but I doube I'll be that lucky!"

jason

Unfortunately not, he says he has none at the moment ☹️

that one in in the 7 at the moment and it's lovely thank you I want to get one made with different ratios over the winter but SPC need a donor.

Jason

I need to get hold of a 5 speed gearbox so I can get in rebuilt with my ratios so can be knackered!

thanks

Assuming you have Econoseal connectors on the inside of the plug there is a yellow thing with holes in where the connection pins go through, this pulls out to reveal some tiny clips that hold the wires in the connector. Using a watch makers screwdriver you can push the clips back and the wires pull out.

Jason

the flanges just unclip from inside the diff and then pull out, then our driveshafts push in. But it wouldn't be much good anyway as it's a normal sierra LSD and the people who know say they are no good in our 7's.

Jason

Personally I'd turn the throttle pot back until it idles fine but the sensible people among us will tell you to bung it on a trailer.

Jason

BGH are I think the only people that do heavy duty syncros for type 9's. I'd speak to them.

jason

I'd like one too if poss

thanks

Hopefully CC will see how keen we are in these and order the 500 and then stick them on their parts site.

jason

Hi Roger, yes you are missing something, there should be a lump of metal welded to the black water rail that butts up to the P clip. This stops it moving forward. The P clips are better replaced by a more sturdy Mikalor rubber lined one too as the originals have be known to break.

Don't CR500 tyres have Kevlar reinforcement in them to save weight? I hope they haven't took the Kevlar out and replaced with something else heavier to save money .

Jason

My immobiliser failed as you describe during the summer. Trailered to Dartford for a replacement unit. Caterham told me that only approved companies can fit and that wires are not colour coded so that amateur fitting is virtually impossible.

 

Peter

Not quite true, although all the wires are black they are marked at the ends when new. If you are working on one that someone else fitted the the wires are colour coded inside the box. Amateur fitting is easy, There are 7 wires, a perm live, ig switched live and two pairs to break two circuits, one of which must be live when the engine is cranking. There is also one other for a door pin switch which is obviously not fitted on a 7. I've fitted two and I really do rate them.

Jason

Depending on what dampers you have you might have to machine down the heads on some M10 bolts to mount the cage as the buckets on the imperial chassis are deeper putting them closer to the damper. Imperial cage bolts have bolt heads which are about 3mm thick for this reason.

J

I have all the wiring info for the Sterling excel if anyone ever needs it.

jason

Oohh never knew that happened 😳 I'll keep an eye on mine from now on.
