Id like to say, that Chris Mintoft at Redline has had his share of communication gaps. I know. BUT! I would say his situations tend to change and he is able to entertain USA orders. I have heard from USA customers that have had excellent service from Chris. I would give him a chance. If he does respond, you have to keep on him, politely.

is it not typical for a dry sump scavenge to pull enough volume from the bottom end, that not much outward venting occurs on the top end?

perfect, beautiful 7

Need an upper steering shaft suitable for 1996 S3 Imperial live axle chassis. Splines or not. 19mm. Probably a bushing too. Thanks.

@Gearlatch?

If you have a spare tyre carrier, the mount bung will be fixed at the center height of the specified tyre and wheel

I actually considered that as a possibility but thought no way in hell period. thanks for confirming it.

Way too much kit there. See: https://www.sevensandclassics.com/online-shop/p/quick-release-steering-wheel-boss

I was experiencing cut-off on sharp rights in my DCOE shallow wet sump electric pump Xflow. I didn't get it resolved before I stopped driving. Thought it might be bowl level flooding, starving, or oil pressure. The turns were so brief, like low speed into a driveway, I ruled out the tank. Sure, I could be sucking air, but, at those speeds, surely the pump would have refilled the line? These 7s....always something

I do realize that Lotus 7 S 1&2 typically had red pannels and seats. But the black Caterhams have since outnumbered them. I can understand an homage and I love those red leather Springalls. I know a source for those early Lotus center caps.

I think the Momo wheel you have is perfect. Not colorful, but then 7 cockpit typically haven't been colorful. Your two-tone tunnel cover is an exception. I looked around but didn't find much in 3 bolt. The 70mm 6 bolt is much more ubiquitous. Perhaps a 3-6 bolt adapter? It would space the wheel back a bit. Is it safe? I don't know. If that's the wheel you like, it's a very personal thing that adds something to the car you have a connection with. It's a personal touch. Id keep it. Don't leave it in the car when you go in to Hombre Depot.

Bob likes his 3 hole flat bottom Momo and went to a lot of trouble replacing the shaft to use that wheel. There should be something out there that suits his car. Bob, are you willing to drill and chamfer 3 holes on a wheel? What diameter is that Momo? I've always wondered how wheels are measured, front the outside edge of the rim, or the centre of the rim? I suppose outside as this is the surface the leverage is applied. A wheel with a 13" rim center and a 2" thick rim ought to be a 15" wheel from edge to edge? What matters in these 7s is you have a wheel you can scootch under. Good info here https://low-offset.com/guides/best-aftermarket-steering-wheel/ **************** Bob, there's red wheels there but that 3 hole.. Everything is 6 hole now.

Hate to here, but I doubt you will come out better than buying the wheel the way you want it. I would just have the black suede wirh single red 12 o'clock stripe. Or rattle can that center red. Red leather wheel is fun but too vintage for your spec. Any excuse to use that emoji.

Refresh or double up on the rubber strip at the top to see if this will pull the corners in. Simulate this with something flexible to see if thw spacing at top helps.

You are saying that the front of the bonnet does not clamp snugly over the nose lip? do the Dzuz locations fit the brackets correctly? Are you sure you have a Caterham bonnet?

some ventilation on top of the pedal box is good as it prevents condensation collecting and rusting the frame there. It happened to me.

Type 14LF are widely available as rebuilds or new old stock at very reasonable prices. Unless you have real desire to rebuild, I think buying ready to run calipers is the way. You can take time to refresh and upgrade the old ones wirh stainless pistons, etc. Chance is very good the old calipers aren't worth the effort. Pegasus, Dave Bean , Spitbits, Moss, Rimmer Bros. Like @EdWills points out, the availability of these BL parts...one of the best reasons to choose an older Caterham is the parts are still out there. Even a new Xflow block.

OP, You've had older Loti, you know how hard it can be to find replacement parts! I suggest keeping the steering shaft in a box of parts in case you want it later and to go with the car when it moves on. If it isn't broken, keep it. Sell the hub and wheel, if you must.
