Geoff Dixon Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Those of you who have the black finish option - windscreen surrounds, headlamps, exhaust shield etc. - do you also have black bonnet catches and springs? I am gradually swopping my car over to black and now want to replace the bonnet catches and springs as they are now marked and tarnished.Where is the best place to get new catches from - Caterham, James Whiting ?

EFA Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Geoff.....Your wing stays were full of water. I watched them explode in the oven!

WILL FLY Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 What were you doing putting wingstays in the oven Arnie ? See willfly.net for more info. If you don't spin you ain't trying smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 My springs were black when I got my car, and I upgraded to polished S/S as the black ones started to show slight rust marks. If you go for black ones, make sure they are a decent material as well! Phil Waters 1600 X/flow - soon to be 2000 Zetec wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Bl%dy hell. Instead of a larger radiator Geoff's got extra cooling capacity via the wing stays eh? Neat!!! Don't Caterham now supply SVA black catch covers (well I've seen them for the 'non spring' ones) that would cover a std 'bright colour' catch? I have the Jim W ones and they are lovely, but in chrome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelspeed Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 The latest Twats catalogue shows the spring type of fastener, ie the front ones, in black. I'll be doing this change, bound to be lighter than all that copper, nickel, chrome electroplating stuff. Look much nicer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
