Wow, front drums!

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. https://atpautomotive.com/featured/re-seal

Want blips!

For an Escort axke?

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.

Looking to do this: Or something similar. Craig's car: http://www.britishracecar.com/CraigChima-Lotus-Seven.htm

There are shrink crimps with and w/o water sealing goo that melts around the wire.

Caterham toggle switches fade quickly. May consider sommore UV resistant.

Gotta love shrink tubing!

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.

It was fishy long before the word ESCROW. stay away. It should be reported as wire fraud. Furthermore, his exact language is referring to a "vehicle". Should you follow through and get this You would have no recourse, you bought a "vehicle".

Jabra types?

Are you using a Carcoon?

Someone said the rubber is heated to be more pliable. When I last tried to put on the screen with new trim ( new screen too). I couldn't get the rubber to compress down enough to fit the 3 side screws. I didn't try the heat method. I can only assume its using a heat gun. The suggestion mentioned a caution ⚠️ about damaging any paint. My next attempt will probably involve spacing my stanchion brackets higher for more scuttle clearance. If I had 1/2 inch in there, it should go together. Its fidly.

For low volume specialty manufacturers like Caterham, ok, specifically Caterham, is a car built in November or December considered a following year model, or that of the present year?

Simplify, then add lightness...

what do skydiving teams use?

Aasembled Vehicle / Replica. https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/assembled-vehicles if over 25 yrs, Antique or Classic It is easy to get Cobras registered and through safety, amd everyone knows what a Cobra is. Answer all questions with, "Is like a Cobra, its the European Cobra. Pretend you have a Cobra. "Cobras were manufactured by Ford", yes, Caterhams were manufactured by Lotus. No difference. If the proces gets too hairy, grab your stuff and withdraw the application. Find a tax office with someone who knows what they're doing.

While on the topic any recommendation on the hose?

Have a pic of the lift? Model number? Who did you buy it from?

You may have already read it elsewhere, save the radiator installation until after the engine bay bits, or as late as possible. Prevent any damage to the fins from working around the front.

Just Reggae?

great thread. My Chevy has a similar "key programming" procedure. I doubt its key progrmming, probably module re-learning to accept the key. In Caterhams case a key transmitter or key RFID is taped to a receiver.
