Dicky Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 All, I have just taken delivery of a Caterham passenger side harness and when I went to fit it, I have discovered that the bolt for the shoulder straps will not go in to the pre drilled hole 'cos the FIA bar is in the way. I have now found that I need to remove the roll bar. I have loosened all the bolts holding it on only to find that it still does not move ! So I now know that it is bolted from below also, and I have to remove the rear suspension to get at the lower bolts. This prospect fills me with fear, so does anyone have any tips for this process ? Are the bolts easy to find etc, will they be seized up (I think I know the answer !....), how do I un-seize them ? etc etc Thanks in advance Dicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I reply to every thread Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Do a search - There's plenty in the last year. This: http://www.blatchat.com/T.asp?id=63596 is a good start . It's an hour & a half job to remove & refit at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I reply to every thread Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 The bolts are easy to see once the dampers are off. The 🙆🏻 is that they have an extremely shallow head so you will probably need a ground down socket to remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted May 18, 2005 Support Team Share Posted May 18, 2005 Dicky - are you sure you need to take the FIA bar off to fit the harness? The harness should share one of the FIA bar bolts. IIRC you require a slightly longer bolt to go through both the harness and the FIA bar mounting plate. See Section 7 Page 6 of the on line build manual here. Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
