Paul Hill Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Still gathering bits to ressurect our early Catheram... Looking for the sideligths that mount on the outer edge of the clamshell fenders. These would be redundant to anyone who has switched over to cycle fenders. Thanks
Ian7 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Paul, why didn't you ask when you were here... came in a box with my car, I won't use them call me sometime
Paul Hill Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 Figures..... what else should we have discussed? They coud bve an easy addition to your carry-on when you fly home at Christmas? Cab fare from Plattsburgh? Thanks....
notakit Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Looking for the sideligths that mount on the outer edge of the clamshell fenders. These would be redundant to anyone who has switched over to cycle fenders. Thanks Well, technically those would be redundant to anyone who has switched to cycle fenders mounted to their uprights. The original Lotus 7 had Lucas L516's mounted to its "cycle fenders" which were fixed to the chassis.
bsimon Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Lotus had L516's on the clamshell Sevens as well. Clams just don't look correct without them. Unfortunately, 516's are a bit pricey these days. It's as if they're made of diamond plated unobtainium. Needless to say, I check the fixings on mine regularly. I have an unused set of the Caterham(Fiat?) side lamps I'd be willing to part with.
notakit Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I got lucky and just picked up a pair of NOS 516's for $125.00 Whats REALLY hard to find is "affordable" Wingard 1055 tail lights!
Ian7 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Paul, sadly these aren't the valuable Lucas, but presume they'd do... what else you need? maybe after a dozen or so parts I'll have to charge you LOL
Paul Hill Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks Ian, they'll do quite nicely! As for price, well, we can sort that out when you deliver the goods!:rofl: As for other parts my/our biggest dilemna is still pedals and master cylinder mounts. Shocking that to date we have had absolutely zero luck finding anything. I've looked at various aftermarket pedal/master assemblies from Tilton and the like but would prefer something that is closer to oem, preferably that leaves us with a functioning true firewall with no holes. Unless some lurker here has something better to offer I plan to replicate the late 80s/90s style that Caterham used. Life and priorities continue to get in the way of project progress but we live in hope...
Ian7 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 lights are free, just pay gas Savannah/Ottawa/Savannah at Xmas, can't be more than 300 bucks LOL seriously, I'll see what else is laying around you might want, call you mid November.
