@Croc Can you expand on "install the captive nut brackets for the windscreen" please?
@Saudio Are you planning to have the 7 built in the USA by a specialist (I recommend), or have Cat ship a built car?
Is it even edible wheat? or an industrial grain like ethanol corn? My understanding is we don't grow food for Americans here anymore. All imported or exported.
I had only piggybacked on @Smithengineered post with the immobilizer pictures and I am pretty sure the keys and ignition switch are a Morris Mini or other vintage BL.
Identical to my keys and I don't have an immobilizer. But happy to help anyway.
Hi,
Many moons ago, on a mailing list or bulletin board far, far away, someone made this:
Can anyone recall who had this done and get a contact?
Please PM me with any phone numbers or email address.
I recommend removing the pedal box cover to allow it to vent. I found my frame had rusted from condensation, no doubt from that gathered up in the box and trickled fown to the frame.
But then, I had stored my car for years in humid environments.
AFAIK, Its never been used.
The foam sealing has started to crumble, but that's expected with age and easily replaceable with better sealing.
$50 or something I can use.
Lots of products for restoring rubber and plastic. you may want something specific to plastic like Mother's Back To Black, but a rubber polymer may be similar. Im not a chemist.

I have read good things about a half (7"?) height windshield.
I never made one myself.
Many do like the aeroscreens and the aeroscreen stanchion mount made for them finishes the assembly nicely. There are plenty lying around.
If you look at many pictures of scuttle And screen fitments, you will notice there may be some variation in the arch of the screen frame to the scuttle surface. This isn't unusual at all. Caterham & Arch has been very true to maintaining integrity of original Lotus body form by building the chassis on the same jigs for decades implementing only minor changes.
Much of a Seven is hand fitted and some adjustments aren't unusual. Scuttle stanchion holes should be elongated for screen height adjustments.
I have a Lotus screen that fits my 95 Cat scuttle better than a recent manufacture screen.
Buy a new Cat screen with confidence. Just don't get an SV unless you have an SV.
