Ralph45 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I would be more than grateful if anyone who has a copy of the fitting instructions for the Apollo anti cav system kindly email me a set of fitting instructions?Thanks,Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevehS3 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Ralph, Would that be for an Imperial or Metric chassis (the tank is located differently depending upon the chassis - I have the Metric chassis instructions only)? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I think there's one on mycaterham.com (Angus' page). I do however doubt that there'll be much difference between imperial and metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Steve, my chassis is imperial but it would still give me a good heads up as I have had to to piece together my kit over a few months.r,j thanks again I'll have a look and if Steve sends me over a copy it should stop a novice like me drilling in to the roll bar thinking it was a chassis member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I think once you offer up the base plate to the roll bar you'll find that it doesn't fit.It is more or less self explaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevehS3 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 No problem. Just remember it is for the metric chassis which involves relocating the header tank. The Apollo tank location and fixing brackets etc are different too for the imperial. The drilling of the cam cover is the same though. I think I’ve got the article from Low Flying as well which is for the imperial chassis. PM me your email address and I’ll get it all scanned.

Ralph45 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Steve,your a star,looks quite straight forward I just need to be very careful drilling the cam cover.as a thought can you not run the air return pipe to a catch tank rather then drill the cover?anyone?

StevehS3 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Maybe someone knows better than me but I think it would quickly fill a catch tank as it is under oil pressure (4 bar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I also think that would need a larger sump and a lot of oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Ok,I thought it was just air from the oil once it had been separated and not realised it was an oil supply as well.As always,thanks all for your invaluable help,im getting there slowly.

Ralph45 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 One more question,do I really want or need the foam inside the rocker cover having read all about the sump foam issues some people have encountered ? that cover will definitely not be coming of every year or so,or should it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 It is only air that passes through the little breather pipe on the top of the Apollo tank. The oil doesn't get that high. But ... connect it to cam cover, not a catch tank. No foam in my cam cover ... the kit was second hand and didn't have any. Never been a problem without.

Ralph45 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 OK,what size is the hole that is needed in the cam cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Big enough for the threaded part of the fitting to slip through.Sorry, the kit is on the car and I guess it'll be easier for you to measure the diameter rather than us to remove the cam cover to do the same :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Yep I agree 100% just thought someone might remember.I spoke cc yesterday and the ant cav systems are supposed to be in by the end of November,in the meantime I managed to source a used tank with the sump bolt,top,bottom and top vent fittings attached.It had a few stone dings in it and a load of road salt tarnishing but nothing a few hrs going back with wet and dry,a scotch bright and a final once over with Autosol couldn't fix.Not sure whether to keep it as a spare as it cost peanuts compared to the new price on the cc web site or order the Hose kit, bottom mounting plate and a temp sender,or fit a blanking bolt in its place as I don't intend to fit an oil temp gauge and just use it.
