Smithengineered Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Looking for a half hood for my SV in all black. Before I order new I thought i would check here. I have the regular roll bar. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovchandr Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Due to how many types of roll bars out there, you'll be very unlikely to find a proper fitting half hood stateside. My advice is bite the bullet and order yourself one as you want it, the UK pound ratio is also favorable. Alas if you're still willing to prod the waters, it would help identify which bar you have now. H1/H2/H3/H4/H5/H6/H8 etc. You being an SV could be H3/H4 Here is a reference https://www.softbitsshop.co.uk/caterham-classifications-12-w.asp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashyers Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I ordered mine from these guys: https://www.thundersport.co.uk/products/ I provided the measurements they asked for and the hood fit perfectly. They were a pleasure to deal with and the hood is great! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize there were so many different variations of a standard bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick OTeen Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Yep, Thundersport is the the right choice. I got my half hood (and boot bag, behind the seats bags, and half doors) from them. Great customer service and great products, meticulously made.
