Ah thank you for the insight. I hadn't thought about the nose cone helping with that area. I only noticed the rubbing because of transporting the caterham to my house and just noted it a something to keep an eye on. I will keep this in mind though, and hopefully the nose cone helps in that regard. I do not think there is an insulation kit that came with it, so you are probably correct here as well.

Also found the reason my exhaust was too close to the tire. The bushing closer to the middle of the vehicle is broken. Going to replace that easily enough. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Wow, thanks for the offer! I am not too far from you in Tomball. I will send you a PM so we can get something figured out! It's great to see another Houston area member. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I figured as much about the breather. Thanks! Not sure what happened to my original post though... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

8. The ball joint on both sides front steering are touching the break pads. There are many theories to why this happend, but can I get some direction as to correct, or should I wait until after the build and get the tires on for alignment? 9. I tried installing the windshield yesterday just so I can say I had accomplished something. However, the rubber does not want to lay flat against the car. Any suggestions here? Will the rubber form to the hood over time? Thank you for all of the suggestions and future help. I am located in Houston, TX so if there is any local help I would much appreciate anything. I have not quite searched the forum yet to this regard, but would also like to know the registration process in Texas for this type of vehicle.

5. Front wing stay is extremely close to the tire as well. Tire size 195/45 R15. 6. When the hood is installed, it touches the top of the engine. I can imagine this will cause wearing issues quick down the road. I did also find in the garage, a large roll of thermal padding. Maybe he intended to install this into the inside of the hood to help with this? 7.There is a tube sticking out of the .... rear dif? Not sure if that is right. Can anyone advise to this tube, and if anything needs to happen here before reinstalling the boot cover so that I can begin installing carpet. Speaking of carpet, any recommendations to what adhesive to use?

My location is Houston Texas. For some reason I couldn't get the full post completed this morning, so I was waiting for the post to be approved. I will fully update when I get home this evening! Thanks again Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Hello Everyone, My name is Cole, and I am new to this site along with the partially built 2005 Caterham Roadsport SV that is in my garage. I recently inherited this vehicle from a person who was like a father to me but sadly he never had the time to finish the build. I have never built a car before and do not want to get this wrong on his behalf. As far as I can tell, he left off trying to install the interior as only half of the rivets were completed on the side panels. So I have a few questions for you folks after my initial walk through. 1.This is the rivet pack that was found inside the car with the rivet gun and a few missing rivets in the side panels. I do not see in the instructions about interior installs, so do any of you know what rivets I should be using? There are only four of item #7 left in the bag. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12387&stc=1 2. Here is an example of the incomplete rivets. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12394&stc=1 3. The assembly guide states: "SCREEN WASHER KIT 26 The bracket for locating the washer bottle is pre-fitted to the lower RH side of the engine bay in front of the pedal box." I do not see any pre-fitted bracket, as it was found loose when I picked up the car. I do not see any holes in the engine bay with this type of hole orientation pre-drilled. Should this washer bottle be installed on the passenger side pedal box? If its on the driver side, I do not think the harness will reach the pump as the pump will end up against the far wall if done so. The washer jet and line have already been installed. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12395&stc=1 4. The exhaust is extremely close to the driver side rear tire. Any suggestions to fixing this issue? Tires are 195/45 R15 http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12393&stc=1 More to come...
