Thanks - will get mine out and re-seal it. Do not understand your last post Blue C7!

Thanks have ordered the Geocel version

Found this too!

Have had a brief search for that and so much inappropriate stuff was suggested! Will dig a bit deeper!

Going to reseal the base of the scuttle to the top of the foot well panels. Any views on what sort of black sealant to use - any sanitary ware sealant with reasonable temp resistance? Thanks Garth

Have removed the top of my scuttle by drilling out the rivets connecting it to the vertical panel etc. The seal at the base of this vertical panel (between it and the horizontal panel over the foot well) was pretty ropey so I have been cleaning it up which is a bit of a mission! I have just seen some pics on Facebook which suggest that this vertical panel is not actually fixed to the chassis but just slots into a gap between the chassis and another panel? Can anyone confirm if this is correct? This being the case it would be much easier to remove it completely to clean it up properly - could even give it nice new coat of spray paint and then reseal easily? Looked at the pic on the Caterham parts website and this looks straight, but not the best pic. Thanks Garth

Thanks - will stick to my 4 points for now!

Thanks Ian - does the crouch strap run over the front of the seat?

MR Doctor ! Probably a silly question, but can one use a six point harness on standard leather seats? Thanks Garth

Thanks Alan - it s Graham Janes - not sure he is making them anymore or if he frequents this site!!

Thanks Elie - on order!

Hi Curly - have posted the mirrors to Pete so sorry. Have sent you a PM about where I got them. Garth

That is different to my heater box - the top of mine is sealed against the lip of the scuttle - I had to remove the heater box to get at the rivets behind! Am going to have to bolt through the lip of the heater box through the scuttle into the firewall! Just a bit tight and the heater box is not that robust!

Sorry not sure what is happening but I cannot seem to edit my post! This is what I have been trying to add.... Pair of carbon effect flat lens clip on mirrors for driving without doors. Clip onto door hinge mounts on stanchions. Lenses are 110 wide by 50 mm high. £50 + P&P. Apologies for double etc post!

I have a single unused CR500 195/45 R15 looking for a good home. The markings show it was made in Sept 2016. It was kept as a spare and never fitted. I collected it from an ex-Caterham owner recently but cannot use it as I run on 13" rims. Prefer for it to be collected from the SW20 area and a small donation to a charity could be appropriate if it is put to good use?

Thanks Colin

I presume none of you have heaters to deal with?

I have one unused CR500 (been in storage for 4 years) I could let you have if you could find 3 others!

Thanks - still going to need to get mine out to measure thread and pitch!

Will get mine out thanks - wanted to order one before taking it out!

Anyone know where I can source one of these? Cannot even find the standard one on the Caterham website! Also thinking of getting one for my Ford diff? Cheers Garth

As I have nothing better to do I removed my scuttle today with a view to leaving the vertical (firewall) section in place and fitting rivnuts in this vertical section to re-fix the scuttle. All relatively straightforward, but just wondering how people who have done this have dealt with the heater box? There were about 7 rivets behind the top flange of the box which was just stuck over them with silicone! Looks like one needs a reasonable seal between the top of the heater box and the scuttle. If these rivets are replaced with bolts they will protrude much further than the rivets did? Is the answer just to use button heads and lots of silicone? Ideally not silicone so it is easier to remove in the future? Could one use a neoprene seal instead of the silicone and screw right through the flange (and the neoprene) on the heater (probably with a thin s/s plate for strength?). Any ideas welcome please. Thanks Garth
