caterhamnut Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Having just had a cracking day at Brands, my mechanic (PC) and I have come to the conclusion that we do not need to fit these items. Only got them from Caterham last week, still wrapped in little bits of tissue! Also got the 2 1/4" top caps needed for these. I guess these platforms are for the standard Bilstein dampers. I will send them back to Caterham, or take them if no one here wants them. List price, (cannot remember what that is) so it may save you a courier cost. Also got 2 300lbs springs, 2 1/4",and 8" long (I think). teeth.gif21,000 miles in less than a year! cool.gifthumbsup.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver 21 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Angus May be interested, can you confirm price for platforms and springs and whether they are for wide track or standard Graham confused.gifNew Competition Secretaryid=blue> confused.gif cool.gif1700 Live Axle X/Flow, got the engine upgrade, got the new tyres, now got to lose some weight id=red> cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterhamnut Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 Will do, as soon as I get home later. Our car is not wide track, but not sure if the adjustable paltforms are different for each version or not. Pack of bits consists of: 8*Ali platforms (for two diameters of spring) 4*Black Ali threaded sleeves 1*adjusting 'spanner' As mentioned, also got 2 ali top platforms (?) for use with the larger diameter springs. teeth.gif21,000 miles in less than a year! cool.gifthumbsup.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Platforms are the same for wide and standard track post '96 de dion with the Bilstein dampers. Only difference between wide and standard dampers post '96 is a spacer that doesn't affect the spring fitting.
