  1. What's the nominal current of the starter motor? Are your cables particularly long? Jonathan PS: Are those cable sizes 20 and 25 sq mm area? They are sometimes sized by diameter which might cause confusion.
  2. Car still drives ok apart from the very brief ‘stutter’ when the fault occurs. Does it lose power for a short time or is the stutter only in the instruments? Left hand indicator light in rev counter doesn’t work but indicator does. With two indicator warning lights what normally shows with hazard warning lights? And what shows now? Jonathan
  3. Aluminium RIVNUTs from Car Builder Solutions with hole and thread sizes. You can also get stainless steel. Jonathan PS: There's a trick of using nylon bolts (and nuts where fitted) in the hope that they'll give way before the bodywork.
  4. If you'd like an Assembly Guide please send me a Private Mail with your email address and details of the Seven. Jonathan PS: ... the only known caterham 7 on the road in Nova Scotia. Where are you?
  5. Gauge brightness looks consistent... did you change the full beam warning light, and how bright is that? Thanks Jonathan
  6. How many functions have you lost? There's a well-tested workaround for the starter relay. ... and if i knew how to search the archives i could check...... The best method of searching that I know is to use an external search engine with site restriction... click the second link in my signature and then enter the search terms etc. Jonathan
  7. Is this the new pictorial style with the chatty balloons? There has been a bit of discussion of that, mostly around the beta version IIRC. And either I’m not very good at using the search function on this forum or there hasn’t yet been a review of the new manual.

  8. POR-15 has its adherents... previous discussions! Jonathan
  9. Have you got an Assembly Guide with a diagram of the handbrake assembly? There are at least two versions of this for de Dion Sevens and it might help to have both if you're building from scratch. Please send me a Private Message with your email address if you'd like them. Jonathan
  10. Please send me a Private Message with your email address. Jonathan
  11. 'Mite' - Small insect that can affect quality of timber Ahem... Jonathan
  12. Have you spotted the windback tools in the Equipment Register? Jonathan
  13. ... in the boot the wings attach with nuts, bolts and penny washers but in the engine bay rivnuts?. In my 1998 build the rear wings had some blind rivet nuts and some nuts and bolts. And as soon as I heard about the advantage of fitting sacrificial bolts I changed them all to nylon. Does anyone do that for clamshell front wings, and, if not, what's the difference? Greater aerodynamic forces? Jonathan
  14. The convenience of only needing access from one side? Jonathan
  15. IIRC it was very expensive. ... seems to have everything I could need in one handy place. This phenomenon has never been reliably observed. :-) Jonathan
  16. 2016... that's only yesterday! :-) Jonathan
  17. ± Penetrating fluid before removal? Jonathan
  18. My talents are limited to twisting the wheel and hooting the hooter Replacing the bits inside the drive is intricate. Are you planning to do it yourself? Jonathan
  19. Anyone... can you recalibrate these at the instrument? What does the button do? Jonathan
