    There is a USA7s member who may still have 5 Prisoner wheels not that far from you...

    Spitfire wheels? I doubt that this car has wheel studs on a 3.75" circle.

    Now I need to know how to get this thing open without breaking anything.

    With my experience with another Caterham gas tank, I was sure to put in some longer bolts to catch any possible keeper ring inside the tank. Turned out this tank has none: the threads are provided with rivnuts. I still suggest that procedure; you never know... OK, the assembly is out. If I thought the wires on the outside were tiny, the ones leading to the float assembly are microscopic.

    Shingle Springs? Sure, now. That's on my way home from San Jose. Missed opportunity...

    I was a bit luckier with my Storm Cap. Soft Bits for Sevens was very-responsive. They confirmed that the Storm Cap for the SLR cage on an SV would would fit my CSR 260 with an SLR cage. They had them in stock. It arrived in a very-short time. It fits perfectly. Apparently, if they don't have stock on an item, they make it to order. They may be dragging their feet on an answering you while waiting for an answer from the production shop.

    Aerodynamically unsound.

    Someone in my Birkin's past with more muscle than sensitivity smushed both halves of a popper (snap) on the boot cover. I have a supply of Caterham poppers (and pop rivets therefor) for the CSR, so I followed the advice of Louis Sullivan.

    If you have the Alfred and Alder trunnions a la Spitfire, and someone used grease instead of oil in them, the grease may have hardened.

    BMW goes back to Eurotech in the morning. KMAN 2.9 is coming home.

    The pump has arrived. I will be reviewing this thread to help me with my project.

    Is there a way to unplug these electrical connectors from the cover plate? Trying to withdraw the assembly from the tank with these wires all connected sounds like a nightmare. I don't want to break anything, so I could use some guidance.

    The fuel pump from Rimmer is here. I welcome any advice on how to install it without having a truly epic fire. I suppose I should siphon out all the fuel that I can out of the tank so that the assembly is not completely dripping when I withdraw it.

    13" Yokohama A052 at KitCarDirect https://www.kitcardirect.co.uk/products/yokohama-advan-a052-tyre?variant=53701139235159 Both 205 and 195. I don't see these on Tire Rack. I just thought you folks with 13" wheels would be interested. My Sevens all have 15" wheels. I have found that A052 (I believe that is ay-ZERO-five-two) tires are great for street and autocross on light cars.

    Hey, I have short legs.
  19. pethier
    Wouldn't that depend on how far forward you adjusted the seat? I move the seat well-forward on both my Caterham cars.
  20. pethier
    A six-pound seat. I'd like to lighten it a bit by making the lap-belt ports larger. Caterham lap belts are pull-ups and the adjusters tend to not play well with the ports.

    Mud flaps?

    pethier replied to pethier's topic in General Tech

    Thanks! Interesting. I think I will go with the steel and washers.

    I found these pop rivets at Menards. The flanges measure 0.626", or 5/8", or 15.9mm.

    DHL alleges that the pump will arrive here on Tuesday.
  25. pethier
    They sure are. They have shipped me a fuel pump which is supposed to arrive Tuesday.
