FE07

C & C at Hunt Valley. That red car next to yours sure does look familiar. Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you. Jim

Straight piece is 9 1/4" in length. Curved 26 1/2" in length. Both are 1.26" internal diameter and 1.39" external. Where would one go to have these made?? Thanks, Jim

I have some rusting on the metal piping in my cooling system so I took it apart to have it sandblasted and powdercoated. I saw however on the inside of the tubing some oxidation and thought maybe it would be better to replace this and start fresh. They have rolled, raised lips on both ends. Has anyone ever looked into having replacements made or bought new ones? Thanks for the replies. Jim

wdb- Just received my kit from Newton. When UPS dropped it off (which literally took 3 days from England) they collected $34 which the driver told me were due to tarrifs? I don't know, could've been customs? It's likely to only get worse. Jim

Two sheets of thin aluminum with some bearing grease between them works well. Just make sure the aluminum is wide enough for the front tires. Jim

WOW! So sorry for your loss. Can't imagine. Jim

I used Bears transport to send an Elan from Austin TX to Baltimore. They are brokers but had excellent reviews on Rennlist. They were easy to deal with and since the car did not start, I did not want a large trailer that the car might need to be moved on and off a bunch of times. They found a 3 car trailer for me and fulfilled everything I asked them to do. You can try them at (847) 810-7641. Ask for Liz. Jim

Does that work for the Elan as well? Jim

Thats pretty impressive Charlie- especially living in NYC! Jim

Posted June 12, 2005 The thickness info is AP vented Front disc 18 mm thick new replaced at 16.4mm Hants (North) and Berkshire Area club site here My racing info site here Above is what I found online. That is all the guys who inspected mine wanted when they signed my car off. Jim

Demoray, I did my inspection quite a while ago and unfortunately I’m not sure if the gas station I used still does inspections. I would tell you to stay away from a larger franchise type of place like NTB, Merchants etc…. I don’t know anywhere to send you down in Millersville. I looked online. Try- https://97automotive.com. Just looks like somewhere that may work. Call them first and ask if they have any problem inspecting a Caterham. Hope it helps.

My suggestion for dealing with MD red tape is to talk to some of your car guy friends and find an inspector who is "car friendly". I registered mine about 9 yrs ago but all my inspector wanted to know was the min. thickness of the front brake rotors. I did take it one place first where I thought they would happily inspect it and they gave me MULTIPLE BS reasons why they couldn't inspect it. Jim

Legs, That mint looks nice! Look forward to seeing the build. Jim

Great seeing everyone over the weekend again and chasing each other on track. It's always nice to see people who have come down just to look at the cars and decide if they want to pull the trigger on a purchase. Love what they've done to turn 1. It's now basically makes turns 1 & 2 into one big sweeping turn with a blind track out over turn 2. The weather on track held out great. I left around 3:00 on Sunday and 8 miles west of the track, it was pouring and really windy. Thanks to Mike and Tom as always for organizing! Hope to see everyone again next year. Jim

I'll be rolling in early Friday AM. Look forward to seeing everyone.
