drB Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 blue (9/16") front arb and mounting bushes needed for standard width front suspension for a 2002 K series..... if you have one available please drop me an email using the "contact" icon, thanks adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Are you sure? My notes say front anti roll bars go: orange 1/2" red 5/8" green 18mm Don't think there is a 9/16" front anti roll bar option. Rear anti roll bar is 9/16" and takes a blue bush, could that be what's causing confusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrolhead Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 No, he is in fact correct, There is a 14mm (9/16) front arb using blue bushes. I have one but its for a widetrack car Orange - ½" (13mm) Blue - 9/16" (14mm) Red - 5/8" (16mm) Green - 18mm R500 no 65 😬 I am after a pair of half doors and an QR aero screen.

Chelspeed Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 OK must be a new thing, or perhaps widetrack only? Last years Academy (narrow track) were using orange, red or green only hence my post. I think if there had been a blue bar someone would have used it as red and orange bars were the usual choice and an in between would presumably have been popular.

Petrolhead Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Have a look here for confirmation here and that article is a year old R500 no 65 😬 I am after a pair of half doors and an QR aero screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drB Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 i'm hoping there is a blue one! i got the different sizes off the caterham web site. got the red one fitted at the moment but it feels a bit too stiff and understeery, thought I'd try something a bit softer and see what happens.....

Petrolhead Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Sorry, yes I have the blue one and a red one. The blue is fitted replacing the red and I noticed the difference R500 no 65 😬 I am after a pair of half doors and an QR aero screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Just checked last years Academy regs and it specifically lists orange, red and green only so that explains why no-one used the blue one. Interesting. Wonder why they excluded the blue one? Perhaps because whoever wrote the regs didn't know about it, perhaps they just felt picking three out of the four would save cash. If you're not forced to use a standard anti roll bar by race series regs, have you thought about the Freestyle adjustable bar? You can adjust from softer than orange to harder than green with the twist of an allen key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Just read 05 regs and it says orange, blue, red or green for inters (which use widetrack) and ornage, (blue not available), red or green for roadsports B (which use narrow track). So looks like blue front only for widetrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrolhead Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Seems a bit unfare? R500 no 65 😬 I am after a pair of half doors and an QR aero screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Unfair because they don't allow it in racing? Nope they're two separate classes, all inters are widetrack, all B's are standard track, so no advantage / disadvantage to either. Unfair because Caterham are penalising standard track drivers by giving them less choice? Not sure, does narrow track mean less roll so they can run softer bars so no need for that particular bar? Who knows. Easy answer, go Freestyle adjustable and you can have whatever bar size you feel like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrolhead Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 No aware of the rules so it was probable a very ambiguous statement R500 no 65 😬 I am after a pair of half doors and an QR aero screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
