Just spoken to Mel Williams and ordered a pair of 215/50R13 in K11  Hopefully get them fitted for Gurston. No idea what other sizes they have but it sounds like they've had a delivery if anyone else is needing some.

Working now Simon 

Matthew - not much wrong with that. Looks like you could probably carry a bit more corner speed in places and get on the power a bit earlier in others but I'd have been delighted with that as first sprint!

I had to turn the sound down for David's - can't stand all that screeching 

Not much to say about Dan's run apart from missing the Fradley apex by a country mile on the 2nd lap 

I heard that the commentary for Mr Rogers was along the lines of: "Simon is lining up now and deciding which program to use, now he's pressed 'Start'"!  

Well we do have a Land Rover product on the drive - it just doesn't get to tow the Caterham very often 

Hi Simon - your video is set to private so we can't see it.

If you are referring to the Tillet seat then the Tillett B6 is actually a better design as it has the headrest tilted back making it more comfortable with a helmet on and larger HANS compatible seat belt holes. In other aspects it is identical to the Caterham one. Can be ordered in carbon fibre or fibre glass.

Hi Ian - I can't answer about the Longacre stuff but I have discovered that Lifeline do FIA approved padding to fit 32mm bars - I've just bought some!

I suspect you'll be able to make the Longacre stuff fit with some zip ties and tape. Chris above has a cage which will be 32mm diameter.

My T3: 

88.66s for both of us on the 3rd time run. Rob went first as we were trying to go fastest first so he got the win. He would also have got it on 2nd fastest time as he'd gone quicker than me in a previous run.

So slicks vs power = dead heat 

I'll get the video up later - there was water on the chicane from a car hitting the barriers which led to a slighlty "lively" finish to my run  

Looking for pair of rear wings and a nose-cone. Prefer black but anything considered. Not required to be cosmetically perfect but need to be solid/no significant damage.

Anyone upgraded to carbon fibre and want to sell their old fibre glass items?

I've never measured the movement but, having taken some material off my de-dion to leave a lot more than the 0.2mm gap above, I still got scratches on the inner rims. I don't know if it's wheel flexing, some movement in the bearings or something else but I would suggest creating a static gap of at least 1mm - maybe 2mm would be safer. This was for Cateham 8 spoke 13" rims. I now use Image 2 piece and not had the issue since.

1. Either type some words or paste the link into your post

2. Highlight those words/the link

3. Click the link button above (looks like a chain link) 

4. Paste the link into the box labelled URL in the dialogue box that appears

5. Click OK

It's bit disconcerting to have to take an angle grinder to the de-dion but that is what you have to do. Take more off than you think you need to - it's surprising how much a wheel flexes!

Thanks Malcolm - see you at Curborough.

Hi Richard - I thought Malcolm was going to collect mine but if you have them all then I think there is a 1st place for me (class 6). If so please deliver to Goodwood.

Anybody got one of these gathering dust?

As long as it is firmly attached you should be OK.

We repaired my very badly damaged wing with carbon mat and resin (thank you Mr Gemzoe). Not pretty and I've had to cover the top of the cracks with gaffer tape (to prevent splinters!) but it's held together.

The better you prepare it the longer it will last - we were a bit rushed so prep wasn't perfect.

Looking for a complete aluminium boot cover as used on Caterham race cars. Any condition and even an incomplete kit will be useful.

Thanks,

Shaun

30th September would be very popular with the sprinters  

You must have upset Graham and Paul somehow  - my role seems to involve  and then a bit of  later in the afternoon. Oh apparently I have to show some people around - might be nice to stretch my legs a bit.

Having suffered a trailer tyre blowout (on the same day Michael Calvert lost 2 tyres  ) I switched to 8 ply as suggested by Mark. My local tyre fitters ordered them in and fitted for me.

On a twin axle trailer, if one tyre blows then the adjacent one will likely shortly follow as it gets peppered with steel from the blown tyre.

Hi Chris - as far as I can see there is no MSA regulation on this so it will come down to what the scrutineer thinks of the solution. A couple of the Caterham race series mandate that modifications are done by Arch and certified as such. I had mine moved at Arch last week - they drill the top rail, braze in new bosses in the correct place (as measured with you in the car) and then cut slots in the bulkhead to allow the belts to be bolted the bottom of the rail thus lowering their mounting position.

Shaun

Hi Les - what condition, new or used? Also how old are they?

Thanks,

Shaun
