catastrada Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 My "new" Caterham (R300) has just been painted, and I asked for a nose band. I just get the pictures of the paint shop and obviously the band is really too wide : 11,5cm After a search on the BC I found one post telling 7cm is OK. Can someone confirm to me that 7cm is OK. What I'm after can be see on this picture here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catastrada Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Mark, Your cars look very nice but not sure your nose band is 112mm wide (your stripe may be 112mm) ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozz Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Catastrada Just measured the nose band on mine (done by TSK) and reckon 7cm is about right. See below. Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catastrada Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Matthew, I've read this post and to me 100mm is too much. Now my nose band is 7cm wide it it seems fine in the picture. Maybe 5,5cm would have been even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Willoughby Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 When I took my car to be painted a 4" band looked far too wide when it was masked off. Phoned Caterham Midlands who measured the noseband of two cars in the showroom - both had a 2.5" band. That's what I went for - if you want a picture of my car please let me know (it looks right to me). Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
