Tillets not found yet

To me the main question is "what do you do with your car"? Engine upgrade does not involve brake upgarde (on a Caterham). Even with standard brakes (and right pads) your brake power is more than enough. Upgrading your brakes will give you the ability to push hard during 20laps on a track without any fadding, but I'm not sure you will break shorter. My 2 cents...

I have a post in this wanted section where I propose to switch a pair of leather seats in A1 condition with a pair of tillet seats in vgc

Now sorted as I fitted the mecanical OPG this WE. Although my electrical gauge has been displaying between 0 and 1 bar for the past 2 years, I now read 65psi at iddle !

I'm after a crutch strap only...

I appologize I think I was not precise enough (my English will be better and better...) In my previous post I wrote "braided" and thought "steel braided". After a closer look, the nylon hose I received from Think Automotive is braided, which should be fine. Thank you for your replies !

Followong all the smart posts I read on the BC, I dedided to install a mechanical gauge on my R300. A call to Think Automotive on Monday and on thursday the kit arrived at home (in France). During the call I was asked whether I prefer nylon hose or braided hose. According to Think Automotive, the nylon hose is far enough to support the oil pressure, and the braided hose can be the source of electrical issues in the dash. Nevertheless, most customers are opting for the braided hose. I said go for the braided hose. And guess what, I received a kit whit nylon hose. What do you think, should I install the nylon hose or should I buy a braided hose (I know where to source it locally)? Note : the (mocal) gauge provided by Think Automotive seems really to fit perfectly with the other Caterham gauges Edited by - Catastrada on 30 Jan 2009 12:18:43

Brooksy, please come back to me as soon as you know you will sell them. Assuming they are in perfect condition I should buy them (we both know the market price)

Tillet seats still wanted

Had no one the chance to drive both cars and would like to share his feeling?

Thank you I found useful information in it. The schedule seems to be the same for all (Ford) engines...

I'm after the service plan (maintenance) of the R400 and the R500 (duratec engines). Plus I would like to know of the engine of the "new" R500 needs to be refreshed as often as the "Rover R500". And, I would be happy to read experiences of people who have tested both cars, the R400 AND the R500 (especially with the quaife sequential gear box). Cheers.

Thank you for your link

Still after a pair of Tillets. As I'm back from DVA ( ), the tillets will need to be sent to France.

and now ?

Phil did you get my message?

Phil, YHM.

One of my best friends is after a pair of Caterham Tillet seats, in composite, in good condition. We are located in France, but I will be at DVA's shop on late November, so I can pick them up there. My friend has a pair of S Type seats, in black leather, perfect condition, less than 6,000 miles. I guess he could be interested in a swap. Edited by - Catastrada on 24 Oct 2008 12:58:16

If stu doesn't take it I may be interested. Used parts or new ?

Anyway thank you Ric Stuart, YHM2.

Hey you're quicker than the light! The one that clips into the buckle Edited by - Catastrada on 25 Jul 2008 13:31:13
