Exarkun1178 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 After much back and forth with Moto-Lita and Caterham, i have successfuly ordered a Moto-Lita Mk4 10" flat bottom (with holes) wheel compatiable with the Momo Quick release hub. Due to the 10" diameter, theres only enough room for 2 holes, but im pretty excited to have this option. Thought id share should other folks have the same request. I had a Mk4 on my Europa and loved it. Next up, getting the motorsports guages from Smiths.... 1

Carz01 Posted July 8 Posted July 8 @Exarkun1178, Very cool, I’m going to look at that as an option for my 7. Please post a pic of the final install of the wheel and gauges 1
Carz01 Posted July 9 Posted July 9 @Exarkun1178 can you share the part number for the 10” wheel you ordered? I looked at the Moto-lita site and was unable to find it. Thanks!

Xhilr8n Posted Thursday at 02:49 PM Posted Thursday at 02:49 PM (edited) Hmmmm. Nice custom piece. I want same in red alcantara. Wonder if that’s possible. Edited Thursday at 02:52 PM by Xhilr8n 1
Exarkun1178 Posted Thursday at 02:57 PM Author Posted Thursday at 02:57 PM That looks great! I never asked about color or materials. There were headwinds orginally getting teh 10" at all. With the file setup however, I think asking that now would go a lot smoother. Id ave liked a colored piece in the center top if I had to do it again. Robert
Exarkun1178 Posted Thursday at 03:01 PM Author Posted Thursday at 03:01 PM While i am thinking of it, The folks over at Caerbont Instruments have my spec guages schedule for engineering at the end of August. Next Friday Im schedule to take the factory tour where Ill see my car ~ 80% assembled, im told Piece by piece the car will come together....
Xhilr8n Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM (edited) Track Elise. Awesome steering wheel to drive, this one shows lotsa hanging on. And your center marking up top. Which requires a dead centered setup. Edited Thursday at 03:05 PM by Xhilr8n 1
