caterhamnut Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Just got some of these as they fold into car when camping - anyway, I have got some of those poppers that are directional - which way do they work - I assume the tap is nearest you when you pull the popper open, ie: towards the direction of pull on the popper - if that makes sense? Also, there are some hexagonal studs - the bit the popper pops onto is round, but the 'base' is hexagonal - are these special, or just alternatives to the ones already on the car? cheers www.mycaterham.com here Videos here 94,000 miles -1st 1.6k Supersport, '95 Motor Show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 You need the hexagonal bases with the directional poppers; different undercut to engage the poppers correctly. Assuming you're using the directional ones on the front of the doors just ensure they can only come off as you "peel" the door forward ie against the direction of the air flow. Hope that makes sense Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterhamnut Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 yes, cheers Mick - if you are peeling the doors forward as you describe, where is the 'tab' located in the popper on the door, relative to the front/back of the car? www.mycaterham.com here Videos here 94,000 miles -1st 1.6k Supersport, '95 Motor Show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted August 1, 2006 Leadership Team Share Posted August 1, 2006 The tab would be at the front - think of it as the "hinge" when peeling the door off... Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to finish off a few bits and oieces tonight, then it will be on ebay where you can buy it at your leisure!! We have had carbon MOG half dorrs for ages - go perfectly with clams and brooklands, but I wanted something we could take off and fold away while we are touring the Austrian passes! www.mycaterham.com here Videos here 94,000 miles -1st 1.6k Supersport, '95 Motor Show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caterhamnut Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Not bad actually - choice of 2 types of material - one is the same as the Caterham hood - thickish plastic. We have gone for the lighter ones - sort of stiffish fabric. Nicely made, arrived very very quickly - about £55 for the pair incl. fittings www.mycaterham.com here Videos here 94,000 miles -1st 1.6k Supersport, '95 Motor Show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 The tab would be at the front - think of it as the "hinge" when peeling the door off... Just had a look & yes that's the way they're fitted. Enjoy the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
