SOLD!

Still available, yes.  Let me see if I can get an approximate packed size and weight and run some numbers.  Crazy part is I'm in San Jose next week, but flying.  Lol.

These came out of my 1993 HPC (S3 Imperial car), they have the adjustable rails that mount to the cross rail in front of the seat, and the lugs at the bottom of the rear bulkhead (i.e. instead of mounting to the floorpan as in later cars).  Condition is excellent on the front side, good on the rear - with some minor "scuffs" on the upper seat back from the bare aluminum bulkhead in my car.  This would clean up if so desired.  The headrests are genuine Caterham pieces, but a later vintage and not a perfect match, but very close.

$800 obo plus shipping, or come pick them up in the SW suburbs of Chicago.

Thanks,

Gavin.

Can I be second in line please, I am in Chicago (SW Suburbs).

Shows as out of stock, similar to when I bought last year.  I wait-listed myself and was notified when they had some.  Slightly different sideways kick than was installed in my car, but I was re-spacing my pedals anyway.  Top yoke is perfect.  They sent me the wrong size top clevis pin, but I was able to source one locally.

Better still, there is a clutch pedal available with a fork type mount for the cable eyelet. I upgraded mine after the previous owner warned me of cable failure. Still carry spares for clutch and throttle cables though.

Any pictures / details on the Tillet seats?

Messaged.

I believe the plain tube part clamps in where the headlights are typically mounted, the flat elongated eyelet is bolted where the rear of the top A-arm and shock bolt through.  The headlight then mounts to the stay?  Like I said, I've never fitted them, but that is how they appear to line up.

Here is what I have, and provided pictures for above.  They came with a set of flared / clamshell fenders, and are listed as flared on the Caterham website here:

https://caterhamparts.co.uk/brackets/1384-flared-wingstay-lh-de-dion-1997-imperial.html

They are definitely not the right curvature for cycle wings, the curve of the stay matches my clamshell fenders that are sitting here.  I do not know how they mount, I've never had them on the car under my ownership.  There are a few different styles of these if I recall.

Picture attached, these appear to be the same parts as listed on the Caterham website for clamshells on a DeDion S3.

I have a set.....  my 93 S3 had been changed from clamshells to cycle wings in the past and I was given the old parts, a set of damaged clamshells and what appear to be mounting brackets for them.

Any ideas what toe offsets on the wheels? Russ

Wheels are 14x6.5" and the width measures out exactly, back of hub mating surface to rear lip is 4 1/16" - so my math says ET+21.

4 1/16 - (6.5 / 2) = 0.8125"

0.8125" x 25.4 = 20.6mm

How wide are the rear arches? 3 of them correct? I'm going to be in Downer Grove this weekend. Can Pick up. Thanks.

 

9.75" at the top / middle.  I am in Mokena, about 20-25 minutes down 355 from Downers.  I also work in Lisle (88 and 53 area) and will be there Friday if that helps......  I shoot straight down 355 to make my way home.

I changed a setting. You should now have permissions to edit your original post.

Thank you sir.  Original post updated.

I have tried to update the original post without success.  Shocks and springs are sold, everything else is still available.

I did not mention or list an RX-7 axle.  Someone else did though as this post unfolded.  The yellow frame listed here was fitted with a Celica rear axle, it sold before I listed here though.

Thanks.

Just a heads-up, I've been trying to sell a set virtually identical to these at about half this price with no luck.  Even on the MG forums.  If you find a buyer, let me know and tell their friends.

Fiberglass and 7 3/4" wide.

I recently acquired a fully built Caterham after a few years of not having time to build my own.  Hence, I now have a surplus of parts that may be useful to some folks here.  Prefer local pick-up from the SW suburbs of Chicago on the larger items please.

• Frame 1:  Book frame, fully welded with tunnel pieces tacked in place (I'm told set-up for bike engined build).  Minor surface rust from previous owner storing in an open building, cleans up well.  Rear section around fuel tank was not completed, no clips for suspension etc.  $300 obo.  SOLD.
• Frame 2:  Unknown origin, appears to be to book dimensions.  Welds are not the tidiest (stick welded it would appear), but are for the most part good mechanically.  Has some clips and is more complete than frame one, but needs front suspension clips and steering rack mounts reworked, geometry was questionable.  $400 obo.  SOLD.
• Front suspension arms, Toyota Celica based, includes upper and lower arms, spindle, rotor and caliper.  $100 pair.  SOLD.
• GAZ shocks, all four corners.  120/085 and 140/095, unknown spring rates.  $350.  SOLD.
• Fiberglass nosecone, yellow.  $150.  SOLD.
• Fiberglass wheelarches, all four in yellow, one spare rear in grey primer.  $250.  Rear arches SOLD.  Front arches still available, $100 pair.
• Fiberglass scuttle, green.  $75.
• Aluminum side panels, behind seat panel and hood, poorly made with non-folded/finished edges, good for roller or templates, fit yellow frame just fine.  $50.
• Windshield glass and frame, no stays.  $150.
• Light housings.  $50.
• Full set of KN Minator wheels, 14", 4x100.  New and never mounted, older tires that never rolled the stickers off.  $400 obo.
• Steering wheel, Grant, leather, unknown model.  $50.
• Pedal set, unknown brand.  $60.
• Smiths gauges (speedo, tach), MGB?  Vintage look.  $75 for both.
• Original (i.e. not rebuilt) 711M motor, turns by hand but not delved into much further.  $400.  SOLD

Pictures to follow.

Amen.   Ayyyyymen lol!  When I ordered, my wife LOLed and said "another selfish 2 seater car".  I told the her my dog and I fit in it perfectly, who else do I need?  

 

She replied "your divorce attorney!"

 

(She's a pretty quick wit!)

 

 

Ha.  This is my second 2-seater, also have a 99 M Coupe, also in track service.  (We have a Yukon XL for the kids, and a motorhome.)

I found it helped to buy my wife a ski-boat a few weeks before I got the Caterham.  I have a picture of my wife sitting in it, I've told her I consider this evidence of her approval.
