dodgedavidson Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi all,Bernard Scouse told me this morning he's sold the moulds and design rights to Eliseparts a couple of months ago and they will be in production with the full range of airboxes in the next week or two.They are making the Caterham boxes, R400/500 and Jenvey body flavour.Bernard's working closely with them and the first parts out of the moulds are of excellent quality.Their email is sales@Eliseparts.com, contact there is Geary, the owner.Cheers,Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I have been liaising with Bernard and Geary while materials and components are being evaulated. I expect to be able to do a test install some time soon to make sure that it all works as expected.Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi Dave,I spoke to Bernard on a few occasions regard airboxes for Duratec Caterhams..... do you know if these are more realistic likelyhood of these being on the radar now..?

oilyhands Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Today Geary from Eliseparts came over and we did a trial fit of the new Caterham K series airbox kit to a Carterham I have here.There were a few adjustments to be made , some dimensions to alter and some small parts to design and manufacture so it will be a few weeks before all the modifications that are Caterham specific are incorporated and a working prototype is available. The kits looks pretty good and some of the parts have been redesigned and are beautifully crafted.I will keep you all informed of progress.Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Duratec airboxes.. It's unlikely as the molds are specifically for K series engine and Geary's main business is with the Lotus Elise, the Caterham airboxes are being made as the majority of the parts are common with the Elise airbox. I don't think that Caterhams and Duratecs are his area of expertise.Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 The final incarnation of the new airbox kit for jenvey TBs will be coming over for evaluation next week with the intention of producing them for sale over the next 3-4 weeks (although as with all things there may be a little slippage). I will report back as soon as the airbox has been examined for fit.Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilyhands Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That is one ancient airbox..Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That airbox has suddenly ended. No doubt another dodgy eBay seller that sold it outside of the bids process. Very tiresome when they do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Dave, will the new kits be available to buy from yourself or eliseparts.com? (or both?)Did you get any photos during the trial?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 EP don't usually deal in Caterham installations so I think the preference is for them to be ordered from me as I have installed a large number of Caterham airbox kits in the past and can probably offer better after sales support.Both kits are going out to customers who wil be in touch to ease the installations. As soon as I have an installation (Covid rules rather scupper that at the moment), then I will make a chronicle of installation to replace the existing one on my website, the existing instructions are around about 90% appropriate, but there are some detailed changes with the trumpets , the fuel rail mountings and the throttle trunnion.Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasin Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hi How is this coming along? I would be interested in one airbox. Kristoffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The airbox kits for Jenvey TBs are now available from me, currently in dialogue about airbox for Titan TBs and Roller barrels. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb_ms Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hello DaveHow are you?Do you know if the air box for Titan TBs are still available?I would be interested in one in GRP.Kind regardsJack Morgan-Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Sadly not available. Originally Bernard and I canvassed owners to see of there was interest and had a number of interested parties so some were made, by then most of the prospects had gone with Pipercross airboxes (some of which fell apart I'm told), as there were few takers the molds were not adopted by Eliseparts and the boxes are nor more...Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
