"AL'S PARTS BONANZA" PART 1 HAS ENDED

[tajordan]

Al,

 

I may be interested in the tank. Please post a picture and some dimensions when you have some free time.

[Al N.]

I'll try and get that from my shop and post a pic soon...it's the standard Caterham "fuel injection" tank...that came with my Superlight...has the integrated fuel pump and level gauge sender.

 

I went to an ATL 55 liter fuel cell, heeding the many admonitions of friends who said "You take your kids in that car, Al? I'd think abou a fuel cell."

Guys, can we come to some closure on the mirror?

I've got to do something about a rear view mirror before we start the PNW2005 tour!

[Al N.]

I do not have the longer extension...checked this weekend.

 

As for the fit on a standard windscreen...it might if you don't have the leading edge of the scuttle covered with that plastic coping like I do. It needs at least 1 7/8 inches (that's the size of the mounting plate.

 

To help get Tom on the road for PNW, let's try and have a definitive answer by Wednesday night (7/25):

 

 

Here's the running order:

 

Jim

Steve (but I think he wanted it only if it fit with a full windscreen)

Tom

 

Again to clarify, I DO NOT HAVE THE LONGER MOUNTING POST.

[Boxologist]

tom, get the mirrorsforsevens unit if u have a full windhield.

I definatly want the mirror even if it needs to be taller it dosn't look like that would be be too tough to do. PM me a phone # and we can sort out the details.

 

Jim

[Al N.]

(This is much more likely and timely...I heard of a mildly used FIA available and have been wanting ot upgrade....don't know what their worth...will check Caterham UK)

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT STUFF!

 

It helped offset the cost of a new FIA bar and of course cleaned up the garage...the gas tank is sitting in my driveway drying out before getting shipped out (we had bad weather until this week).

What happened with the head, Al?

[Al N.]

That part of the sale will rise again (along with the r500 rollbar)...but those parts are still on my car!

 

There are a few people in line for the head and cams as a package, but I won't be doing any major work to the car until the winter. I will post when the parts are available...the cams are Kent Focus 12s.

[stevet]

OK, thanks.

Hi Guys, If you drain the fuel and run an exhaust pipe into the fuel tank  or hang the tank on the tailpipe with the engine running it will kill any and all explosive fumes.  This is what i do when i have to weld fuel tanks.

 

 

Al, I sold a tank for the same reason. I poured out all fuel and just let it sit with filler neck open in my driveway in the sun (maybe not so easy at this time of the year) for a week or two. After that it barely smelled like fuel and I shipped it no problem.
