WTB: wheel arches / fender - lights

[fitfan]

hello all,

I am building a project and need wheel arches and lights. if anyone has something to sell - new or used, clean or a little dinged up, please let me know!

 

i need:

2 sets of front open wheel arches - wheel sizes are 205/50/15 (23" dia and 8.5" wide) and 245/45/16 (24" dia and 9.5" wide). i do not need mounts, i will fabricate my own based on my uprights. fiberglass or carbon, ill paint them anyways.

 

headlamps - prefer something in the 5" dia as opposed to 7" but if the price is right... 7" work! i suspect i need D.O.T. stamped to pass CA SB100 "brake and taillight inspection" i do not need mounts, and will fabricate my own based on the frame.

 

if turn signal assemblies are with headlamps... even better!

 

ill take anything lighting, handbrake, related if i can make it work.

 

or referrals to vendors / fabricators are appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hi Rod,

 

I don't have any superfluous to my needs, but I can list a few vendors I'm aware of:

 

Arches (fenders) can be procured from:

http://caterhamparts.co.uk/category.php?id_category=361

http://caterhamparts.co.uk/category.php?id_category=362

http://www.kineticvehicles.com/fenders.html

 

The standard caterham sizes may be close with the width of tires you intend to run. I'm sure there are other options, birkin, westfield, etc. You may have better luck at locostusa.com as well.

 

As far as lights, I'm not sure that the brake and light inspection in California requires a DOT stamp. I don't think my caterham had DOT stamped lamps.

 

You can find lights a lot of places, but I suppose it depends on the quality of lights you require. Here are some options:

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Shop/Street-Rod-Headlights/15.html (they have some with integral turn signals)

http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/headlamps

 

You can find all sorts of headlights through a google search and most are pretty inexpensive.
