@jmaz STLs here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-N1xAZflfujHWm8XC1FcDFjQnePVB3mI Found here: https://www.caterham7diaries.com/post/eccles-mirror-mounts Print it in something that can handle UV from the sun!

I picked up the G1 when they had a sale, but haven’t tried it yet. Hopi g it gets me in the ballpark and then I can compare to a real one.

Okay, you have to enlighten me, how did you come to find this thread again after four years?

Ah. https://www.autoblog.com/news/trump-plans-25-tariff-on-european-cars-prices-could-surge

As I'm waiting for my kit, I don't actually see a new tariff. The news articles from today say that after a year, the US/UK trade fell by 25%, is that what you're referencing? He did remove a whisky tariff today after dinner with the King during a toast... which is the dumbest way to do trade policy I've ever heard.

They're saying on the UK forum that it was an all-hands-on-deck, last minute build. Maybe they just didn't have time to do the white wheels. They do look FABULOUS though.

Omg you are so right, what a huge miss on not matching the wheels!

Apparently most of the senior builders/assemblers went to this to maintain all the 22 cars, and mine that is in build isn't progressing as quickly because of it! Drat! Super cool though, maybe they'll get some awesome press out of it.

I feel like we’ve gotta keep the British terms for these. It’s a bonnet and a boot!

Wow! Great start on the blog, I put it in my RSS reader and I’m going to keep up on it. Good tips already, mine is in final assembly now. Similar spec.

I’m constantly vexed by the fact that I won’t touch Meta with a ten foot pole, and now it’s absorbed even the Craig’s List section of the internet. I can’t easily shop for a used one nearby. I’m a menace to my HOA because I demanded a non-Facebook group for the neighborhood. (I promise I’m not as much of a pain in the ass as that paragraph makes me sound like!) New one at Harbor Freight is $370. Maybe I could rent mine out for $50 a month to local builders when I’m done… I just don’t know if I have a long enough stretch of time to get it in over a weekend, and then believing I wouldn’t need it again.

@hahuang65 did you rent one from someone nearby? I’m debating buying one vs renting one. None of my friends are cool enough to have one.

Okay, not the Lambda probe, but @jmaz this looks like it would be helpful for you!

Eh, it doesn't have nearly enough wires. At least compared to the figure in the build manual, so seems unlikely. Sorry!

I'm just thumbing through the build guide instead of doing my actual job, and I haven't built mine yet so this is a shot in the dark, but is that the connector that goes under the car towards the Lambda Probe in the exhaust?
