christian.v Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Does anyone have any favourite fixing method or strut design that they are particularly proud of 🤔 Or what doesn't work 🤔   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I used the template avilable from Geoff Pickin and cable tie mine on to the grill  not an elegant engineering solution but it works  rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian.v Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Thanks Rob--I was looking in the blue book, and apparently the strut should be not more than 200mm from the ground and the top not less than 454mm from the ground--which means that if it's 254 high then it has to be positioned exactly 200 from the ground if it isn't going to be less than 454 at the top. So what's the real story 🤔 😬  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 errrrrr  if you attach it to the grille I cannot see there being a problem I have never seen anyone measuring this  rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenEvans Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Mine attaches in 45 seconds to two holes drilled in the top of the number plate (if you have one) using wing nuts. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxseven Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Mine attaches in 10 seconds 😬, yes honestly, by 2 clips, which clip it to the '7' on the grill. Simon Emmens Caterham and Pussy Photos here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 it usually takes me 5 minutes of frantic searching just to find the cable ties and then another 10 minutes looking for the strut 😬 rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattj Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I'd like to see some spin-off competitions to liven up those lunch breaks at sprints... Maybe 'Timing strut attatchment championship 2004' could be one: Competitors are scored on both speed and attatchment quality. As well as one in which the first person to return an entry form wins something like a booklet of first class stamps...ooooohhhh..... 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 aha - but we would need classes dependent on whether the competitor was using an standard design strut or not 😬 Ii am sure I can live up to my 15minute boast  rob 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
