  1. It does. It clarifies you meant “right hand traffic” and not “right hand drive”. Very different!
  2. Do these halogen housings work OK with LED bulbs?
  3. Trying to wrap my head around PCV, as I will hopefully be registering my 7 project under SB100 in CA in the not too distant future. My engine is a 2.0 Duratec with wet sump and Jenvey ITBs (direct-to-head). I have configured an "open" crankcase ventilation system, where the factory PCV valve has been removed and the crankcase vents directly into a catch can. My understanding is that, to satisfy the BAR inspection, I would need to pass a hose from this catch can outlet to a vacuum source on the intake (via a PCV valve). Fine. I have two questions about this process: 1. I'm not sure where the best place to source vacuum is on the Jenvey ITBs? I don't want to drill/tap any new holes into the ITBs just for inspection, so it seems there are 2 choices: A and B in the following pic. A is an idle air bypass port, so I believe I could pipe all four of these into a little collector/manifold (using some sort of hose nipple) and then link this to the PCV valve. In fact, it looks like Jenvey sells a kit to do just this, albeit for an idle air control valve instead of PCV - see attached. B is just the injector port, which is blanked off in my application (with an aluminum bung, because I'm using the factory injector port in the cylinder head). So I could do the same thing - drill and tap the aluminum bungs for nipples, without interfering with the idle bypass ports. 2. How savvy are the BAR inspectors when it comes to PCV? Could I avoid all this extra work by just shoving the hose into the air filter backplate? I'm guessing that won't fly, but thought I'd throw it out there!
  4. This is still available.
  5. Thanks - I appreciate the feedback!
  6. Do you have any pics of the coverage of these rear wing kits, please? How is the durability with just PPF and no protectors, now you have some miles on it? Thank you!
  7. Bump.
  8. These are now sold.
  9. Still available.
  10. Still available.
  11. I have a set of four used Caterham springs for sale (originally fitted to a set of Bilstein De Dion race dampers). They measure 11" and 7" long in the uncompressed state. The ID is 2.25". Condition is good but they do have some overspray on them and there are some chips on the powdercoat, as you'd expect with use. Caterham part numbers are 77843 (fronts; 250 lb/in spring rate) and 77844 (rears; 215 lb/in spring rate). Here are the links to the parts on the Caterham website: Fronts Rears $150 + shipping, or collected from San Diego, CA.
  12. I have a used Stack ST8100 series race dash available. It was originally fitted to a 2002 Caterham 7 project I bought and in the end I decided not to use it as I wanted something with CAN connectivity with my ECU. I'm not very familiar with this unit, so please check out the Stack site here and the manual here. It comes with a wiring harness, three 10 BAR pressure sensors (one brand new, two used), two temp sensors (used), five switches (one is a spare), the U-shaped mounting brackets and the optional wheel speed sensor. I do not see a connector on the harness for the speed sensor, so I believe you would need to add wires for this (the manual has a wiring diagram). It's in good shape, but obviously has some scratches on the front, being 21 years old. Also, some of the black "masking" on the front panel (not sure what to call it) has deteriorated a little. I believe Stack still service these, so it would be possible to have the front panel replaced and resealed if you really wanted a cosmetic refresh. I did fire it up on the bench to test the back-lighting, text display and that the needle calibrates to zero. I also connected the sensors and could see the temps change and the low oil pressure warning. I'm happy to send a video if you'd like to see it start up. But I am unable to give it a more thorough test than this as my engine is not running yet. Asking $750. I'm in San Diego, if you want to see it in person.
  13. Interested to hear the bad experiences with Westermann, since they charge a real premium for their products. Myself, I had a terrible experience with them about 18 years ago - not concerning the quality of the product, but rather some aggressive behavior from them when a shipping delivery went wrong.
  14. I am restoring an imperial Caterham and had no Sierra rear calipers to start with. I bought a new set for 210 GBP, including shipping to US. They came from Bigg Red: https://www.biggred.co.uk/ Note: these are not made by Ford, but they reassured me that they had no issues with them at all (based on many sales) and were happy with the quality. Bigg Red has a good reputation. If I were you, I'd drop them an e-mail and see if they can supply a rebuild kit for your originals. Alternatively, slap your OEM units in the mail and have them refurn them - either with zinc plating or powder coating etc.
