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.

Not taken today, but this is my latest photo.

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't look like your typical tonneau that covers the driver and passenger seats. TR3, Morgan? Can you contact the seller?

Some photos from LRP, Palmer, and NYST.

It's been so long since I assembled my car that I don't remember where the bolts were, but I would assume they were with the hub and not in the steering wheel box. There's always a chance that you didn't receive them. My kit was missing the DeDion tube and other smaller parts! If you can't find them in your kit, they should be M6x1.0, 20mm long, flathead. Something like this: https://belmetric.com/flat-socket-head-10-9-black-m6x1-0-coarse-din-7991/?sku=SF6X20&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21943007182&gbraid=0AAAAADn8Oc9IUypOzgbX_g6-4xkVOmU4y&gclid=Cj0KCQjwss3DBhC3ARIsALdgYxNmqDkF__S4icEZ1e5GPLEzatwPY1bq5YY5CrHT3N_bjUu-09WtfVAaAoqSEALw_wcB

I used that same oil temp gauge in my old Birkin and it worked well. It did show how much longer it took for the oil to heat up compared to the coolant. I think I used one of the metric adapters to mount the sender in the drain plug location.

They actually worked very well, and were used on many early British sports cars and race cars. I found them to be very accurate and the only downside was the cost, and the capillary tube near the cylinder head had a tendency to fatique and break. You had to coil up the capillary tube to give it room to move when the engine rocked on the mounts. One neat thing with the mechanical gauge was the temp range was 90-230 degrees F and if it was a really hot day they would show the actual outside temp even though you hadn't started the car yet.

Here's one from my visit there. Wish I had centered it better.

The 420R should come standard with LSD.

Is that yours???
