Standard mirrors and VX Rad Hoses

[simon67]

Looking for a pair of standard Caterham side screen mirrors and good top and bottom radiator hoses for a '91 VX HPC. Any help gratefully received.

 

Do the standard mirrors simply bolt through the sidescreen ?

 

Cheers

You will need to drill the side screen. Get a "sharp" 6mm drill for this as mine got blunted last weekend when I fitted mine 🙆🏻 ☹️. You will feel a metal frame just below the window, site the 1st hole about 15 - 20 cm from the front edge.

 

Someone one here must have one or both, and they are reversable so fit either door.

Simon,

I have a radiator bottom hose in blue silicon same as part number 594-6 as shown here.

It's off a K-series but the part description seems to indicate it will fit a Vauxhall with carbs - not sure which VX though.

It is in good condition having been on the car for 18 months or so. If it is the correct one for you then it is yours for £15 plus postage.

Thanks Shaun but i'm looking for a black one - want to keep it as original as possible!

 

Cheers

Best to get new hoses from CC. Used ones tend to be distorted and not reseal properly. They're not expensive (for Caterham parts that is 😳)
