jmracing66 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi all,Probably a fairly obvious question here, but worth checking. I am replacing a standard roll bar on my newly acquired CSR with a track day roll bar.There are two extra bolts that you get at through the wheel arch. This isn't a problem on the CSR as the shock isn't in the way. The two bolts are provided but there doesn't seem to be a washer in the kit. It looks to me like it needs a washer as the bolt head isn't that much larger than the hole in the chassis. Am i missing something obvious here or should I just add a washer.thanksJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmracing66 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks, doesn't say anything about a washer but still seems a bit odd to me. I'll double check with caterham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 15, 2016 Member Share Posted December 15, 2016 How strange.When I built mine in 1998 IIRC the bolt came up from below and was received into a thread, and needed a lock washer. I'll check some other versions of the Guide.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robjjones Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 James,No washer indicated in my current build, which includes a track day roll-over bar. There is a spring washer and a plain washer on the set screws though.Details of my install and hopefully useful photos here: Roll-over bar install.Good luck.

jmracing66 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks all, I also just heard back from Caterham and they also confirmed that no washer is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
