dalongbloke Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Before I stick on EBay... See photos... I don't know if is the low or high bar (I suspect low). Very good condition, if I was refitting I would powder coat again as minor scratches on diagonal and 11 years of use! Simplicity itself to fit. Complete with telescopic petty bar. Also UNUSED half hood (mark 2 with window panel) in black from Soft Bits For Sevens, never fitted, complete with unused fittings. Would prefer to sell as a complete transformation package, but will consider splitting. Delivery not a problem as I have parcelforce facilities (approx £10). Car is a 97 live axle long cockpit. This FIA bar will NOT fit a deDion car as has no bolts from underneath. Car from the side: http://i44.tinypic.com/30j2qrq.jpg From the back: http://i41.tinypic.com/33vdhe0.jpg I know these beasties are rare, but am not sure how much to ask. Half hood alone is £150 new. Offers or interest please to me via blatmail or dalongbloke at aol dot com. Edited by - dalongbloke on 7 Jan 2009 18:17:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalongbloke Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hi slider, I would prefer to sell as a package, but would be looking for £100 (+ post or collection) for the half hood. Dibs noted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slider7 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Thx - forgot to say : half hood needs to fit a 2002 DD car with FIA bar “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away” Antoine de Saint Exupery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano7 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Second Dibs on the Half Hood, I'll take it at £100 Cheers Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalongbloke Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Slider... I have no idea if it will fit a deDion. That is one of the reasons I wanted to sell as a package. Suggest you contact Soft Bits to get thier opinion... Regards Andy Second dibs noted Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slider7 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Mmm ... just had a look at those pics (in first post). Gives the impression to be a different FIA bar then mine ☹️ Dean, over to you “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away” Antoine de Saint Exupery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalongbloke Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Dean, you have first dibs. I will leave open until close of play tonight. If no one wants the whole package, the half hood is yours. Edited by - dalongbloke on 6 Jan 2009 15:44:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalongbloke Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Dean, thanks for Email. NO dibs on hood now. So still available, SBFS have informed that half hood is ONLY suitable for roll bar shown ie single diagonal FIA axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltec Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi does the normal hood fit properly with that rollbar? VX 1600 Live Axle T440LKK rFactor: caterham.miltec.biz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Miltec, although it will be a bit tighter it will fit so long as this isn't a tall FIA bar. Are you still thinking of sprinting this season? If so I think you'll need a petty strut as well which can be picked up cheaply. I look forward to seeing another 1.6 VXer at some events ASBO orange 1.6 VX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltec Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Already got a tall Fia bar, want the short bar so the hood fits better. VX 1600 Live Axle T440LKK rFactor: caterham.miltec.biz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalongbloke Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi Miltec... this is the lower bar... Fellow blatchatter came here tonight to buy my half hood. He had measured his FIA bar which turned out to be identical dimensions to mine and DOES work with a hood. I never tried a hood with mine, hence I owned the half hood - which I never used anyway. Please note this bar DOES come with the petty bar... all for £150 (plus postage if needed). All you need is a fitting kit from Caterham (less than a fiver, or supply your own). Cheers Andy Jingers seems to have dissapeared.. he has first dibs until 10am tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
