ChrisC Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hi All Well last night I finished my winter project, ready for an MOT today. As I was putting the finishing touches on the car I fitted the coil cover (plastic rocker cover), only to find I have misplaced the little push in cable clip that holds the throttle cable. No problem I thought can't be expensive, but a phone call to Caterham this morning advised it only comes with the coil cover. Caterham did advise it wasn't a part they had manufactured, but would have come from Ford, but what ford? Can anyone with that clip post any numbers that are on that part? I am hoping to find the ford part number. Obviously once I have purchased a new one (or a new coil cover) I will find the clip, but that is just the way life goes. Chris.

martyn Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hey Chris, No part numbers on mine I'm afraid. Removed it and checked the underside but nothing.Maybe a good excuse to upgrade to the carbon cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Thank Martyn Carbon only true man maths can turn a £5 lost part into a £200 cosmetic upgrade. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Perry Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I made a replacement in titanium which does away with the clip altogether. Want one?!/sites/default/files/images/users/1932/IMG_1294.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone Rat Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hi,Mine just snapped in two - looking at the pics & description I assume it's a Sigma. I just ended up fashioning a piece out of a DVD box - cut a strip out rounded it, drilled it. It's held the cable for 4 years and looks OK.Sod buying new bits.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Perry Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hello,It would not really be worth me making just one coil cover. I could do a bulk buy if there is enough interest, say 10 people. They might be about £40 without the bolts each. £5 cheaper than the naff plastic caterham one!Its not rocket science, there is no reason why you cant buy a bit of aluminum sheet off ebay and drill some holes in it and bend the sheet to suit.Thanks,Chris Perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domus Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I made two fingers out of ally strip, one longer than the other to hold the cables in place, look ok polished against the black cover. However they do not look as cool as the ti one Me want, if you ever decide to make some more put my name on the list please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyboanerges Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Oh yes! I like the kook of that. A matching pedal box cover would complement it rather well!Please put my name on the list if you decide to make some more.thanks, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Perry Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Dear All,I have added a post in the bulk buy section if anyone is interested.Thanks,Chris Perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Chris, good luck with the bulk buy, I am not 100% sure, but I might be looking at a big bill, see my other thread, and for that reason I am out Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
