StephaneM Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Hello, Initially, I planned to buy HPC seven, wich is very hard to find here in France. Now, I investigate also another solution, wich is to buy a new 1.6K "GT", wich is used in the french Caterham cup, & road legal. The car is sold without confort equipment, with 13" wheels & 032R, with wide track, with cycle wings, race seats & rollcage. I think this reasonnable engine is a good way to "learn" the car on track, & I still have the possibility to improve the power to ~160 bhp with this engine, & if it is not enough to mount a Zetec, a Duratec or a bike engine... As a sum up, the car can evolute next to me! I asked to Caterham racing france what is the price regarding 6 speeds gearbox & SL rollcage (only for aesthetic, I admit) My question is regarding this SL rollcage assy: I have been told that it needs a chassis modification, wich is quoted ~220£, in addition to the over priced rollcage compared to the standard one (+~280£). I read in another thread that this chassis modification for the SL rollcage is now standard on new chassis, so who is right? Do I have to pay... or not? Thanks in advance. Stéphane.

Dave York Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 I have just fitted a SLR cage to a standard Roadsport chassis and can confirm the required threaded bushes are present. I am not sure when the factory or Arch started installing these from standard though. My chassis is a 98yr model chassis shipped new in December of 2001. Hope this helps.

Stuart Faulds Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 The 2003 'sva friendly' chassis probably doesn't have the appropriate bushes - I'd check with Arch. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
