    I finally got around to this. My blue rack has this P/N stamped on the housing near the pinion: B9905029. I did a lock to lock measurement and it looks like it's just under 2 turns. I put a protracter on the photos and estimated it at 1.88 turns L2L. Total rack movement L2L looks to be right at 4.0".

    I'm pretty sure he meant using the same 'user' name on BaT that you use on USA7's. I use '11Budlite' on pretty much every online Forum that I frequent.

    Thanks guys, when I get a chance I'll do the lock to lock rotation check to compare.

    The video doesn't feature a Seven, but there is a yellow Seven belonging to a member here at the 32 second mark. I think they only made 30 of these but I bet they're fun:

    It took a little research but I believe this is the car owned by Bob and Mary Kansa out of Ohio. Forum name: 'southwind25'. I know when I saw it they kept it REALLY clean:

    Club is my favorite track in New England, absolutely beautiful and a lot of fun. Just got back from a 2-day event at Canaan, had a blast!

    I'm pretty sure I know this car, but I could be wrong. It looks like the car owned by a couple from Ohio that I met back in 2008 at Carlisle.

    A photo of your dash and the type of Seven you have would help. I'm assuming it's a Caterham but I think there were other brands that offered a carbon dash.

    There's a phone number for Tom Carlin on this page: https://birkindirect-usa.com/pre-owned/

    These are the best photos I have of the Birkin mounts for a Zetec if that helps.

    The mount spacing on the black rack of my 310 S3 is the same 7-3/4". I'm leaving for a NH track day so didn't want to mess with the toe to compare the total width.
  12. 11Budlite
    I'm not sure. The total width is 39-7/8" without the outer tie rods, and the mount spacing is 7-3/4". I won't have access to my Caterham until tomorrow to compare.

    My 2019 310 has a black painted Caterham rack and pinion. Does anyone know what the difference is on a blue painted Caterham rack like this one?

    Thanks Graham, that makes a lot more sense.

    This radiator was with a group of Lotus/Caterham parts I just purchased. The core/tanks measure 42cm x 30cm. There are the two main inlet and outlets that measure 25mm, two smaller fittings that measure appr 6mm, and one unknown fitting at the bottom that measures appr 14mm. There are two upper mounts and one lower mount. There is a 20cm cooling fan that is 'Made in Japan'. Any idea what vehicle this could be from?

    If you're not planning on tracking your car it's probably not as important to go to 13" wheels. My 2001 Birkin originally came with some TSW wheels with 195/50-15 tires mounted. I changed over to 15 x 7" Enkei RPF1's with 205/50-15 Falken Azenis and went from around 38 lbs to 30 lbs per corner. Made a big difference.

    Some previous discussion on 13" wheels. Depending on what brakes it has and what wheels you'd be using will determine how easy or hard the fitment will be. I agree that 13" wheels work well with these cars.

    Never seen actual plans that were available to buy. There's this build thread: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/atom-imposter-building-ariel-atom-replica-scratch/ And this: https://www.pinterest.com/travisthesavage/atom-blueprints/

    I'm pretty sure there is no polished version. I ended up installing one on my Sigma-powered car and had to polish it myself. It saved almost 4.5 lbs. Sorry I can't help you on the mapping.

    I'm really disappointed I couldn't make it to this one, glad you guys had fun!

    These should work I would think: https://caterhamparts.co.uk/seats/4563-seat-runners-for-race-seat.html?search_query=seat+runners&results=97 I don't think you'd find some used ones for sale, but you could try a WTB ad. Do you have lowered floors in your car? I have lowered floors in mine and the only reinforcement in mounting the seat rails are large backing washers.

    I see 7 Sevens on BaT. And you're right, I don't think I've ever seen that many at once.
