Chris found one for me a few years ago as well. -
About to Purchase First 7 and Need Advice!
Jesse D replied to Randy Flowers's topic in General Sevens Discussion
Fun to read all of us justifying our toy. I bought mine (off the classifieds here) about ten years ago and I have no interest in selling and it was one of the best things I did in my life. My oldest grandson (I'm 74) is close to his driver's license and then I'm looking forward to autocross with him. My Caterham is a 1993 and the problems I've had are minimal and the joy maximal. Get it. -
New Avon ZZS on new Compromotive CXR rims
Jesse D replied to Bartman's topic in Parts For Sale / Wanted
Sent you a private message, but I'd take just the wheels or wheels and tires. Can you get an approximate price on sending the wheels or the wheels and tires to Maine. -
If you just get the daily email you see everything. I get 7 and autocross shirts for myself and others plus shirts as gifts for friends that mean something to them and nothing to me. At my winter autocross party last weekend, two youngsters noticed this shirt for me- I guess I've been around the club long enough.

When one of mine burst My local NAPA dealer allowed me to go behind the desk and look at the rack of hoses and I found one that with a little trimming fit my 93 Caterham perfectly well. I just took my burst hose as a template.

13" Kodiak Lightweight three piece wheels
Jesse D replied to Doug7L's topic in Parts For Sale / Wanted
Thanks, I'm looking for a square setup at least 8-9" width. My current tires (Avon slicks) rub in the rear and I didn't like spacers with my studs. Thanks for the links. -

Thanks, that doesn't quite work for me, drat. -

Can you confirm the wheel widths and the offsets- I might be interested in just the wheels. -
Effective wind deflector/buffeting reduction?
Jesse D replied to Cueball1's topic in General Sevens Discussion
I switched from a regular windshield to Brooklands screens on my 93 several years ago and it is a big improvement, though I can't put the top up. Much less buffeting and I can wear a baseball cap up to about 65 mph. Just my regular glasses, never hit anything. -
Front license plate required in Oregon
Jesse D replied to Cueball1's topic in General Sevens Discussion
Ha. Normally the slicks come off for road driving but it was only a short trip, Officer, and look it's sunny out and no chance of rain. The reality is as long as I'm moving it's hard to tell they're slicks and the rest of the car draws more attention. It's Maine after all. -
Front license plate required in Oregon
Jesse D replied to Cueball1's topic in General Sevens Discussion
One of the advantages of gel coat vs paint is that the holes can be glassed over and red gel coat smoothed into the surrounding area in an invisible way that you can't do with paint. -
Front license plate required in Oregon
Jesse D replied to Cueball1's topic in General Sevens Discussion
I used some carbon tubes to make a lightweight easy to remove plate holder. I glued/laid up some slightly larger tubes on the inside of my grill piece and made a bracket from two tubes and some carbon plate. All easily available from carbon suppliers. The plate never moves when in place and is plenty strong. Weight measured in ounces. -
I took off my metal screens and went with film- I replace it each year but the fiberglass underneath is fine.

Effective wind deflector/buffeting reduction?
Jesse D replied to Cueball1's topic in General Sevens Discussion
I put on Brookland screens. Can't put the top up but completely ended the buffeting and I can wear a ball cap up to 60 mph. -
While we are on the subject, what have people been buying in a smaller size like 5 3/4 or even smaller. My big ones are like the yellow/red ones pictured- bottom mount.
