Tony Martyr Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Why are all the battery isolator switches that I have seen on Caterham etc on the driver's side? It seems easier to run shorter cables if it is fitted on the passenger - battery - side. Is there any rule or what am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dent Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Having just taken off the scuttle, there is the wiper motor sitting where the switch would be on the passenger side. My general thoughts on the harness when the scuttle came off was - what a mess. 4 wheels on my 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heskyboy Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Andrew, was it easy to remove the scuttle? Will Caterham supply new ones? Cheers Heskyboy 6ft 4 squeezing into R996 VCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver 21 Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Spot on Barry Whilst competing the driver should be able to 'kill' the engine whilst still strapped in 😳 😳, theres an MSA reg somewhere but can't be bothered to find it!

Andrew Dent Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Heskyboy The scuttle came off with out too much trouble. The hardest part was undoing the nuts that hold the scuttle onto the chassis. A bite of brute force and ignorance later off came the scuttle. Now waiting for the new one to be painted. 4 wheels on my 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 It also makes life a lot easier/safer if we marshals know where the damn thing is in an emergency. It's bad enough when you have mixed saloon races where they can be in different places due to the different cars, let alone the 'same' cars with 'em all over the place!
