jakeandlizzy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Adjustable platforms (bilsten) like these here with the shocks. -- off of a 2002 S3. ...that is all good... but, the bad is the front shocks are toast and the rears are probably OK, but I am not sure. They are in good cosmetic condition. The springs on the front I wouldn't bother with, but the rears have standard caterham progressive springs and they are pretty good. Also, a widetrack extender piece will be attached to the front two shocks but they can be binned or sold on if not needed. They have done 24k miles, most of which (20k) over the last 1.5 years. So why mention the shocks? Well, because I don't know how to take the platforms off and don't have the time! so £80 for the lot sound OK? They should retrofit any bilstein shock to be adjustable. Pick up preferred (I live in Cambridge) and I will try to take some pics this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankee Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 If the widetrack extensions are not needed, please let me know as I need some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rullingen Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Will these adjustable platforms fit on standard shocks? I've always been under the impression I'd have to change the shocks if I wanted to go to adjustable platforms. 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Russell Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yep you can just fit these to pretty much any caterham Bilstein. There is a circlip around the body which located the standard fixed seat on; its just a case of dismantling the assembly, sliding the seat off, moving the circlip to a lower groove and sliding on the threaded collar & locking rings.

Rullingen Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Ooooh! In that case can I have 2nd dibs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Bowler Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Interested in the rear springs if available and you want to split. Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeandlizzy Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 These are sold to Bert320 ... ...including the entire shock. I do know he does not want anything but the platforms, so you may want to ask him if he would part with the leftover bits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
