blami Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hello all, I'm in the process of converting my Caterham 'track only' vehicle into a street legal car. I will not be needing the following items: 1) Eight Panasport Street Wheels: 13 x 6, 4x108 bolt pattern, 16 o/s---these do clear my "Big Brakes" without issue by the way. Goodyear Racing Slicks (Formula Eagle) are currently mounted on these wheels. One set of 4 tires (7 x 20.5) are good for a few more track sessions. The other 4 tires (2 are 7 x 20.5, 2 are 8 x 20.3) have only been heat cycled. Mostly I'm simply selling the wheels---think of the tires as a bonus. 2) "Tall" FIA roll bar and petty strut (side brace). This bar is 50mm taller than the stock roll bar and it cannot be used with the standard top. On the plus side, this bar is taller than my helmeted head (I'm 6 1.5 and a helmet will add at least an inch to the top of your head. 3) Brooklands windscreens: complete and Brand New as received from Caterham. Includes mounting stanchion and all fittings. 4) Race Ears---what the hell are these you ask. If you are running bias-belted slicks you will discover that they need very little negative camber. The "Ears" mount to the end of the DiDion tube and your hubs and brakes are attached to these. The 'standard' ears yield about 3/4 degree of negative camber---the "race ears" are machined to give about 1/4 degree negative camber. Your bias-belted slicks with thank you with a much longer life (the tire's life that is, but it will help extend your life on the track too). These race ears are Caterham parts, not something that I had fabricated. The wheels have had about 10 (well actually more, but don't tell my wife) sets of tires mounted so they have the typical nicks and chips that the 'professional' installers leave behind as their calling card. But most important, the wheels are true and have never been curbed or needed to have any type of repair. Shipping: well yes, I can do that but it will probably be expensive and kind of a pain. As an old retired guy I don't mind delivering these items (it will help a lot if you live somewhere that I find 'interesting' or can meet me half-way). I would be happy to bring items to LOG in Gettysburg this fall and that way you can examine the items to make sure they meet you needs and expectations. My wife and I will also be heading down to Skyline drive in Sept and to the Watkins Glen area of NY. I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have about these items. Thanks, Bart Lami, Pittsburgh PA 1993 Caterham HPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Bart, I might be interested in the EARS. How much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blami Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hi Mike, My price is 1/2 the Caterham price (in 1997) $112 for the pair. Here is something important to note: looking at the invoice I see that the ears are described as: EAR 1/4 LH/RH--BigBrake. My car was ordered with "Big Brakes" when I purchased it in 1993. That included both front and rear AP racing calipers. So I'm guessing that my ears may not be suitable if you do not have the big rear brakes. If you are still interested I can pull the ears off of my car (I'll be doing that anyway when I switch to the stock 16 inch wheels) and take some pictures for you. That might help you figure out if they will work for you. Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Bart, I have standard brakes and run 13 inch wheels. I did not realize that Caterham had different size ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Bart, Did you pay $112 and are selling them for $68? Or did you pay $224 and are selling them for $112? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsimon Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Bart, I Mike doesn't bite on the race ears, I'd be interested in them as I have the AP twin pots on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blami Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sorry I was unclear on price: My selling price for the ears is $112, my purchase price from Sevens & Elans/Caterham was over $224. The ears are compact and can be easily shipped---I probably still have the original box that they were shipped in. I will be pulling apart the rear end of my car later this week so pictures will be available but I do know that they will fit on Bob's car.

bsimon Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The "race ears have the caliper mounting bolts perpendicular to the axle bore. Bogo Sierra ears have the bolts parallel to the bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Bart, I am interested in the tall FIA Bar and the Brooklands. Can you let me know what you are asking for each. Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blami Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hi Tom, I paid $369.60 for the 'tall' FIA bar, not including shipping so I'm pricing that at: $185 The Aeroscreens with stanchion cost $420. These have never been mounted or used and are priced at $220. The stanchion can be used with out have to remove the wiper assembly--this is not the case with some other available stanchions. The Petty strut (the side brace for the FIA bar) cost $84 when I bought it. I will sell it for $40 OR I will throw it in for free if you buy both the FIA bar and Aeroscreens. Such a deal--- Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralfaz Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I am Also interested in FIA and Brooklands. So I will get in line Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blami Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 OK Brian. If Tom is not interested you are next in line. Tom, if you could let me know in the next few days if you want the tall FIA bar and Aeroscreens I'd appreciate it.

yellowss7 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Bart, can you confirm for me that the Tall Fia bar is for a Dedeion chassis. I understand that there is a difference between them and the live axel versions. Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blami Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 My car has the DiDion chassis. The ''tall" FIA bar is a direct replacement for the stock bar and the normal FIA bar and fit my car without any modifications. Tom has confirmed that he wants to purchase both the tall FIA bar and the Aeroscreens, so lets consider them SOLD. The race ears and Panosports are still available. I will be delivering Tom's items to LOG. Perhaps I will get to meet some other Seven's people there. Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blami Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 UPDATE: The race ears have been SOLD. The Panosports are still available. I will be at LOG on Saturday 10/9, if anyone would like me to bring a set (4) of Panosport wheels I can do so. The price for the Panosport wheels are $100 each for the set with the older tires. $125 ea. for the set with the tires that have only been heat cycled.

MNlotus Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 is the roll bar still for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blami Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 At this point, all items, including the roll bar and 8 Panasport wheels have been set aside for individuals who want to purchase them. If any of the deals fall through, I will advise anyone else who has expressed an interest in any of these items. Sorry for the late response to your query. My wife and I have just returned from a trip to Asheville NC and I was 'off-line'. Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
