inchoate A friend with a Seven knew of 12 slightly used 6" X 13" Lightweight Panasports for sale. He also knew of another Seven owner, so we bought and shared them. When I tried to buy them new 4 years ago they were not aviailable. I believe the distributor in the US is in LA. Check the Panasport site

O Racer replied to O Racer's topic in Parts For Sale / Wanted
Thanks locust, wemtd and papak, I will try Quantum first, I have bought from Burton before, I should have thought of them -
To conclude this thread, I did find 4 Panasport Competition 6" x 13" wheels

I know this is an old post, I was just revisiting it to see about tires for my 6" X 13" Panasport Comp wheels. Four plus years since the last comment. Does anyone have a suggestion for track day tires for this wheel set that will not be used on the road, I have a set of 6" x14" wheels for street use. Also, my race engine was completed a year ago, almost and it was more than satisfactory. Here are the specs from an engine dyno Caterham Race Engine 2016 Block: Ford OHV 2265E Kent AX Block Bore: 84 mm Stroke: 77.62 mm Capacity: 1721 cc Compression Ratio: 11.5:1 Maximum Power: 160 HP at 7,200 RPMs (At flywheel) Maximum Torque: 125 ft/lbs at 5,600 RPM’s Ignition Timing: 12 degrees B.T.D.C. at 1,200 RPMs OR 34 degrees B.T.D.C. at 4,000 RPM's Valve Clearance (Hot): .018” / .018” ( I / E ) Valve Clearance (Cold): .018” / .020” ( I / E ) Spark Plug Type: NGK BKR7E Spark Plug Gap: .030" Firing Order: 1-2-4-3 Fuel: 110 Octane (Shell Purple) Oil Type/Viscosity: Redline 40 wt Racing (10W-40) Oil Filter: MOBIL 1 (Part No. M1-301) Cylinder Head: Gas Flowed with Enlarged Ports Valves: Ivey, Oversize (Intake: 41mm, Exhaust: 35mm) Valve Springs: Ferrea (S10115) Heavy Duty, Duplex with Burton Hardened Retainers Camshaft: Kent A6 Rockers: Burton High Lift Roller Rockers (1.69-1) Pistons: CP Carillo Forged 84mm bore 11.5:1 CR Flywheel: Stock Lightened to 12lbs. and balanced Con Rods: Stock Ford lightened and Balanced 600 g (with bolt) ARP Bolts Crankshaft: SCAT SCCA Crankshaft Clutch: Helix Cover Helix 3 paddle clutch plate Throw Out bearing (Burton) Ignition: Distributor: Pertronix Flame Thrower Coil: Pertronix Flame Thrower II Valve Cover: Caterham Cast Alloy with 1700 Supersprint Script Lubrication: Titan 5 port Dry Sump Pump Six Quart Alloy Oil Tank Alloy Dry Sump Pan Remote Oil Filter Housing MOBIL 1 Oil Filter Intake Manifold Caterham Cast Alloy Matched to head and carbs Carburation: Twin Weber 45mm DCOE Air Filters: Weber three screen filters Header: Caterham Competition 4-1 Collector 2” Outlet Stainless Steel Muffler: Magnaflow

Still no leads on the suitable drive unit. Craig Chima's part was not the one...still looking. Thanks

Yes Eric, a snap ring that fits into a recess on the side of the T9 tail shaft. Tough to get to, use to need care with the right size pliers
-
Thanks Maurice, I sent an email to Burton sending the photos, looks like the one in the catalog takes another drive cable, Will see what they say

I broke the right angle speedometer drive last time I pulled the drivetrain. I tried JB Weld that lasted a mile so back to square one. Caterham UK does not have them. The drive was standard on my 1991 Caterham Super Sprint 1700 with the Ford T9 five speed transmission, the drive cable operated a VDO speedometer. If I am lucky, there will be two photos with this post, one shows the broken part separate from the drive, the other with both parts together.

James A. Thanks, this is very helpful, it looks like the same caliper, I will check to see it is the same.

I don't have a photo, car at another location, but Dave Beans is about a 45 min drive. Thanks for the tip

Hi Guys, After a significantly long period off track and after a significant engine power upgrade I am ready for a track day next month. My car is a 1991 Caterham Super Sprint 1700, it has stock front calipers, two pot. My question when ordering replacement brake pads, what do I tell the seller is the origin of the replacement pads? I have heard in the past that the front calipers were the same as a Spitfire but that is a hazy memory. Any suggestions on a suitable pad for track days and occasional street use? I see in other posts suggested pad upgrades to Porterfield and Carbotech, any suggestions Thanks john

Fitting 4-1 Comp Header in 1991 Caterham with Crossfow
O Racer replied to O Racer's topic in General Tech
Hi Dave, I received your PM and either send a reply 3 times or nothing...here's my message. My email address is in one of these prior posts, email me if you want photos Dave, I can never seem to remember how to post a photo, one time it works, otherwise nada, I have photos of 3 views of the alternator shield, which in fact came with my kit in 1991. Each photo has a ruler in it to judge size. I will try to load one otherwise I would be happy to email you them all. The alternator is also original, sorry the make/model spec not in hand IMG_1808.JPG
