    I think it would be a 5-speed not the 6-speed that is noted in the ad. Unless they rec'd the wrong gearknob with the 6-speed.

    I think that engine is basically the same engine that was used in the original Fiat 124 Spiders.

    I forgot to add that wide-track was only offered with cycle wings, not clamshells.

    According to 'The Magnificent 7' book, it was first offered in 1996.

    I bought a tool similar to John's suggestion. It works fine too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FDL3BS?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_6&th=1

    This kit says it fits most Bilstein dampers: https://caterhamparts.co.uk/dampers/41-damper-adjuster-kit-for-bilsteins-set-of-four.html

    When I had my Birkin BRG fenders repainted, I used the paint code from a '91 Miata BRG SE. It seemed identical to the original Birkin BRG color and I thought it looked very good. The paint code was HU and was solid BRG (no metallic) and no clear coat. The 2001 Miata BRG SE was the same color green but with a clear coat. Unfortunately I have no way to compare it to the BRG on my Caterham.

    Another just for reference. Don't know if you've seen this website: https://www.anglocanadianlotus7.ca/lotus-seven-series-2-and-3-dampers-shocks-and-springs/ Maybe check with Tony Ingram to see what he has: https://lotus7.com/LOTUS_7_parts.html

    Wouldn't you have to stack two 7" - 80 lb springs to get the result you wanted?
  15. 11Budlite
    Yes, my Birkin was a 2001 live axle. It was just for a reference point, I realize you probably wouldn't want that rate spring on a original S2/S3. The Birkin was introduced in 1983 and was supposed to be a pretty accurate reproduction of an S3. Maybe they used a lower rate spring on the early cars?

    Just for reference, I checked my old Birkin springs and they were 1.9" ID, 14" length, 150 lb.

    I never heard of a factory MGB with P/S. They have been retrofitted to V6/V8 conversions, and I know there is an electric P/S available now too.

    I also looked into what a new 420R kit would go for in the US, not cheap. Nice that the production capacity has increased, but that new factory has to be paid for too....

    That certainly looks like it could be the same filter. You could remove the mounting bracket to verify, but I'm sure there's a p/n located someplace on that original filter.

    I'm such an idiot!!!

    It's for mounting a spare wheel to the back of the body/chassis. They used to be part of the chassis, but now they're optional/removable: https://caterhamparts.co.uk/other/3798-spare-wheel-carrier-bolt-on-metric-cars.html?search_query=spare+tire+carrier&results=13

    Hi G - I sent you a PM.

    Thanks for your input CarlB. I did some research and found this thread which has some good info and links for eliminating bumpsteer:

    Thanks MV8. Didn't even consider the washer thickness being a potential issue. I will definitely measure them upon dissy and when I'm doing the install. It tracked straight before so I shouldn't have to worry but I'll be aware of the possibility. I had planned on checking bump steer as well as corner-weighting too.
