    I received mine in single large crate with chassis & all (less engine). Shipped to my mechanic, who slid (by hand) the crate onto his flat-bed tow truck. After a little head scratching in my garage he tipped the trailer up. Lowered to the floor and we gently slid the crate off. Discovering that wood crates slide nicely on the aluminum trailer deck.

    On my Schroth you can I set a pin to release the crutch strap. Is this an option to disengage it if you want for street use?

    Do you have the plastic or metal water outlet connector? I took my heater out- but formerly modified the metal outlet connector for water temp senders & heater connection. I will look for a plumbing picture this weekend. ps: if you don’t have an oil temp sensor I think it’s nice to have. If you have the raceline wet sump You can easily add one by drilling & tapping the large anodized screen filter bolt. Mount the same sender for dash water temp and a switch to go between the two.

    Worst case can the put us out with open wheelers? (similar to them unexpectedly joining us 2 years ago)

    You could try checking with the LoCost folks. There may be someone over there who’s in Fl

    IIRC Slomove had a ‘key’ on the back of his car to look like an old ‘wind up’ toy (or go kart in this case). This was probably 10-15years ago… It may have also involved a surfboard. Possibly on the old Birkin forum. Like this - but home made

    Now you need the 'wind up key' the SloMove used to have

    I use Sierra (Propylene Glycol - less toxic antifreeze. With assembly/ disassembly I’ve spilt far too much to risk our dog’s safety. thankfully no close calls but good insurance.

    The yellow label is a patch sewn onto my belts. What if you (carefully & with surgical precision) just removed the offending yellow patches by cutting their threads?

    Jay i may have a spare water pump you can have. The Duratec’s are all plastic… are you sure it’s the pump/plastic manifold or could it be a hose junction?

    Accepting that head neck restraint devices are a good idea for HPDE & track driving. I have not used one before and a quick search reveals the typical 1x-5x price range with various styles, whistles & bells. What advice & comments do folks have regarding model selection, fitment & personal preferences for a first time shopper? Addendum: FWIW I have Schroth 6 point. 2" webbing. But interested in general comments as well.

    I use a local shop for alignment & have found other folks for specific parts/repairs. But don’t have a ‘mechanic for repairs’

    Has anyone driven Palmer in their se7en (or other vehicle)? Any thoughts or comments on the track?

    While not required I recommend the raceline oil filter adapter. And tillett seat(at least for driver). tom has an ECU system that’s been working well for him.

    I would take it to an alternator repair shop. They can test it out & likely repair/rebuild more easily than trying to track down a bespoke replacement

    I’m not familiar with the caterham wiring schematic. however the Birkin wiring uses the resistance of incandescent bulbs as ground for indicator lights [this is my non-engineering understanding] When I installed LED lights for rear indicators everything went wacky…. this was resolved by inserting an diode assembly between switch/lights/ground

    They did that design a year or two ago. Navy blue

    Or you can pitch a tent in the field.
