Russ I believe this is the Soft Bits For Sevens half hood with the "easy in" zip sections undone. This is what those look like zipped up. 1 1

Too many years fiddling with carbs... I do not know what kind of bellhousing and clutch are in Caterhams originally equipped for Zetec engines. Setting the clutch limit with the stop screw on the bellhousing is apparently not required on Caterham cars as the way the clutch pedal is mounted stops the pedal, even though the entire pedal cluster can be moved for driver fitment. Ignorance (by the shop that helped me swap in the Birkin bits) of the damage that can be cause by over traveling the clutch on a Zetec can seize the oil pump, stopping the engine. I am not making this up. A couple of minutes adjustment of a part they didn't notice cost me a ton of time and money. I was ignorant too, but I don't specialize in doing engine swaps into British cars. They do.
