fastg Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Imagine how expensive a Caterham would be if it contained many custom parts? Using of the shelf parts dramatically reduces cost. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarlB Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Lots of race cars used the Triumph spindle, Including early 60s formula one cars. I have played with a lot of Formula Fords and similar cars. Very common for them to use that spindle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BruceBe Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Spindle is now a custom AP part, as of 2015. It's important to note that *all* car manufacturers utilize an outsourced supply-chain, as it is less profitable to maintain the design/implementation resources in-house. Most of those custom Titan and AP parts were specifically designed for Caterham, to their specifications. Pop quiz and a gold star to the one who correctly identifies the interchange on the CSR rear brake caliper (Croc - give them a chance). Cheers, -Bruce Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blokko Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I took my first 7 to Arch to get a lowered floor fitted. I was slightly perturbed when they jacked the car up on a forklift truck to work on the underside Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NSXguy Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Also, I recently replaced the tie rod ends with Triumph spitfire tie rod ends. I'm sure it's probably old news to many but i'll post for record anyway- I'm new to the platform and figuring alot of things out along the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
