We have a 3D printing forum with a grand total of three threads. https://usa7s.net/ips/forum/43-3d-printing/ If people want to start posting their designs there, I'm happy to create a section in the library and start moving them over once we get critical mass, but I don't want to create a new section to hold just two or three designs. As for file type, it's not an issue for downloads. STL is the standard for 3D printing, but the common slicers can also use STEP files which store more data and are better for things other than 3D printing.

Logs show a notification for my message above appeared in your notification list. If they stop showing up again, send me a PM and I will investigate further.

According to the admin panel, you don't have email notifications turned on, just the notification list (bell at the top of the screen). See the help guide below on changing those settings. Also, it's a good idea to check the email address you have associated with your account to confirm it's still current (https://usa7s.net/ips/settings/). If you are receiving notification list reminders for everything except your own threads, let me know and I'll do a forced reset from the admin panel.

This will keep you busy In my opinion, the LSD is well worth it. Adding one to the Westfield years ago was transformative. The car became so much easier to steer with the throttle and really ratcheted up the fun-to-drive factor. As for the Elan, yes get that in a better state and drive it! It's a great complement to the Seven, although my rust fears prevent me from driving it in the wet despite the vastly superior weather protection of the FHC design.

We had a couple of threads on this same announcement, so I merged them together to keep the conversation in one place.

That's great to hear @wdb! Is there any other work you plan to do over the winter or are you now sitting back and counting down the days to blatting weather?

This surprises me. I didn't think US and UK sales figures were close enough to warrant an equal split. I wonder if US dealers have been pushing for this model and Caterham sees pent up demand?

Been there, done that, have the blood blisters

Also, if you have a detachable wheel, make sure it is secure.

If this was sudden, as if something moved, check that both ends of the steering U-joint are tight. The quality of mine wasn't great and without a lot of clamping force, I can see it slipping. Other than that, check torque on everything in the front end.

Great idea! I've become a big fan of rare earth magnets over the past year and have used them in various projects but hadn't thought about this. Are you sourcing from Amazon or do you order from somewhere with better and more consistent quality? If so, please share

Westfield used to fit this extension, and I had one on my car until I installed the BGH gearbox. If you do source one, you may want to read this thread which touches on some aspects of the installation process: https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/146517-gearlever-extension-type-9-fitting

That looks like a great solution for folks on both sides of the pond.

Too bad the easiest one isn't the issue. It could also be a duff gauge. If Bruce has one on hand, that's easy to swap out and check. During my build another local owner had a bad oil pressure gauge that he confirmed by borrowing my unused gauge.

A few things come immediately to mind. The first two are quick and easy. Due to the design, the fuel level sensor can't access the last 1.5-2 gallons in the tank. How much fuel have you added? Have you reached under the dash to confirm the gauge is plugged into the harness and the connector is fully seated? If the fuel assembly is incorrectly clocked in the tank, it can prevent the float from reaching the last several gallons in the tank. Checking this requires removing the boot floor which can be maddening. There could be a break in one of the wires or the sensor is dead. This also requires removing the boot floor, then pulling out the multimeter to diagnose.
