RiF Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I don't know if anybody can tell me whether the vertical uprights on the front hub assembly on a Series 2 and 3 Lotus 7 are similar to the current Caterham models? What I really need to know is whether or not it is possible to simply bolt a new calliper that would fit a current model onto the vertical. Many thanks.

Englishmaninwales Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think they are Herald/Spitfire uprights with a trunnion. Prehaps similiar to early LA Caterhams, rather than the current ones with a spherical lower joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think so - in that I took a set of Caterham calipers and bolted them to a set of Triumph uprights used on a real kit-car - a Dutton Phaeton. And I believe Caterham S2 and 3 uprights (with trunnion) are Stanpart parts. Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverSedlacek Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 The early Caterhams use the Triumph Spitfire Mk4 uprights, and as far as I know Caterham initially didn't change anything from the Series 3 Lotus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
