ukchris Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 The connector for the tail lights... does it have a lock/latch? It looks like it does but for the life of me I cannot get it to disconnect. ‘13 Caterham SV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukchris Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Well, as soon as you ask.... got it separated, now though... is it really supposed to fit through that hole? Pull the rubber grommet or no? Perplexes me why these things are so big.... that’s what she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 On one of the plug ends is a strap/bar that you push down on to release the two parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball7754 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Pull the grommet. It will easily fit through the hole then. It’s not hard to refit the grommet. I do this every year when I polish my Seven. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukchris Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thanks. I started learning how to polish today. Not exactly like a nitro yet but it’s coming along! http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13990&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13991&stc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wemtd Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Ooh nice! But now that it's shiny you can never stop polishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Now in all honestly you need the Steve (bball7754) expert input on polishing. His cars are mirror finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukchris Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 One step at a time... I have to wash a lot of grime off before I can even start polishing, I’m not sure I’m up to a real mirror finish but we’ll see, maybe I’ll catch the b-ball bug eventually!

xcarguy Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I found a cure for polishing; primer and paint. :jester: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukchris Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 So tempting, especially as I just scratched up the back end and think I now need to study wet sanding! *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 This is the mirror finish you need! Yes it is reflecting the sky, the pits and the asphalt perfectly. PM Bball7754 on this forum for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
