Thanks Ed. I reached out to Jack Webb to ask about the standard Imperial (Triumph) lower bolts ans he said those are not known to be of concern. My post is also intended to promote Jack Webb here. He does offer some worthwhile upgrades for the Catermams. I am particularly interested in his uprated Ital live axle half shafts. He said he needs a minmum of five orders to do them. Such shafts will complete a Quaife diff. They should be if particular interest to those with the tack welded bearings. I would be interested in a group buy, receiving and local distribution of the orders. If you have an Ital axle seven, it's the best investment you can make. NOBODY is doing this but Jack Webb. Rakeway was been teasing another run of thier axle kit, but AFAIK haven't done it.

is there enough hole to get a small wet vac hose in? Assuming the volatile fumes are gone, I think repeated water suctions could get it out.

DSK Technical bulletins? Would these pertain to all 7, or just proprietary to DSK items?

I'll just ask the same question I ask everyone.. The rotor turns 1/2 crank speed so there are two TDCs. Are you aligned to the compression TDC? More than helpful...

OK, I see you don't have the headlamp mounted flashers. I refer to these:

I believe the front wing mounted markers/flashers were a European mandatory item but optional in most USA jurisdictions. The headlamp flashers would serve for both functions. It depends on the DMV rules in your jurisdiction, not what Lotus or Caterham had done. BUT, if you want them on your car, there's nothing wrong with that. Im partial to the Lucas L516 torpedo types. Dave Bean had a set available last year.

I think a skid plate is more essential with a DS. There must be something to keep from hooking the bellhousing. The DS just gives you the room for it. YMMV

I hope the car those csme off of is still in one piece

PM

Which one?

In the market for a distributor with vacuum advance for Kent 1600 uprated AX. Points or hall efect, plug and play, but no laptop or Bluetooth tuning. I will enjoy this car for a little while then it will sit for another 25 years until its found by someone. I don't want stuff that needs additional obsolete technology to make it run. Vacuum hose will still be around. Im starting to like points more.

are the collectors included?

Still the black finned Birkin cover? If yes, no telling. Maybe a call to Birkn Direct.

looking for a GT bonnet without side holes or plain without louvers or plain with louvers in the rear.

My plan

correct. still something worth watching. good SciFi.

Cat has been using this bottle for decades https://caterhamparts.co.uk/oil-system/268-oil-catch-tank-kit-1-litre.html?search_query=catch+tank&results=118 My recovery plan going forward will be to use an expansion tank and a recovery tank. https://howeracing.com/products/surge-tank-horzontal-mount?_pos=1&_sid=7280fa34a&_ss=r

Did you see the Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellen Prisoner?

I wonder if Patrick's 7 is stil in the estate? Did he have a collection of exocits?

I thought she said to have it fixed?

That would be telling...

I will be putting a Weber 32/36 DGM on a Caterham built 1600 Sprint spec with A2 cam. There are plenty of jetting tables available for the carb with the GT cam, but I believe the A2 has more lift. Has anyone done the work to find the right settings for this combination? I will be looking as well.

OK, I'll play. This car will take $20K to get back to spec. Buy it for parts, but buy a complete and correct 7 to own and drive. Your $20K will be spent either way. The restoration will cost you money and TIME. This 7 is potentially a good deal IF you have the skills, tools and facilities to restore a car like this economically or have a friend who does.
