    The attached owners manual may help. Page 17 describes the recommended run in procedure. Page 24 gives fluid specifications and page 52 is the maintenance schedule. caterham-seven-owners-manual-17-06-14.pdf

    Can’t find it on the R&T website. Maybe a magazine only thing? Did find a Donkervoort http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a29066/the-donkervoort-d8-gto-rs-looks-like-a-lotus-seven-on-pcp/ and a Elan road test from 1963 http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a29067/road-test-lotus-elan-1600/

    I misread the article thinking they were talking about a 50-60kg reduction in chassis weight. From the article :”Caterham claims around 10% of the car’s weight could be cut if the chassis was to be put into production. That means between 50kg and 60kg would be slashed from the Seven’s already tiny overall weight.”

    Caterham is working on a 50-60kg lighter chassis. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/caterham/super-7/95020/caterham-seven-could-get-even-lighter-with-new-bike-tech-chassis

    I would start by checking the voltage at the battery with the engine running to rule out a bad alternator not charging the battery. You should see ~13.5 -15 volts.

    Bob: that is my car that I sold a couple of years ago. I mounted the plate to the license plate light. Take out the center screw that holds the lens and you will see holes in the backing bracket. I drilled corresponding holes in the license and mounted the plate to the bracket. I used a plastic frame to hold the plate as well, just cut out the section of the frame where it meets the light.

    Do yourself a big favor and find out your state’s registration requirements if you are thinking of road use. A search of this site will show they vary greatly!

    There is an active club in the UK, that could be an option. http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?app=portal Wikipedia says the assets of Robin Hood were bought by Great British Sportscars LTD. in 2006 and they still build a 7 type car and sell parts http://www.greatbritishsportscars.co.uk What is the engine? Any pictures of the car?

    Caterham Uk lists one with a window http://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/search.php?search_query=half+hood&n=20&orderby=position&orderway=desc Maybe the US distributor can help.

    The relays were mounted with the fuse box on my 06 Caterham which was located on the fire wall above the passenger footwell. If I remember correctly there were plastic cubes. It may not be the relay though, a common problem seems to be the flasher switch. Here is link to one thread on the subject http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?8819-turn-signals-and-hazards-stopped-working&highlight=turn+signals
