For now I am the "technical information coordinator" for the new website 😬

I can add stuff like this to the "Guides" section of the new website which has lots of technical info on it. We will authorise some additional "technical authors" over time and I am keen to add WiKi functionality as soon as we can (a bit busy atm with getting the site live ).

If Caterham are happy for us to publish these then I will.

We haven't received our finals so no tickets available yet. The Anglesey Circuit website says £5/day. I think we'll be camping so also arriving Friday evening - not normally an issue.

Details here.

Hi Pat - you'll need the "correct" sender. There will certainly be a cheaper alternative but the std Caterham (non-Stack) sender might not work. You'll need to check the specs of both. I'm sure someone has found a suitable alternative but I still have the original Stack one so can't help.

On my P2 I was a bit enthusiastic with applying the power out of Sawbench - .

Is there specific class for L7C @ Anglesey or are we class 2?

Enjoy Llandow - it's a challenging little circuit to get right. It's also very grippy in the dry so a dry sump is a good idea. If you've not been there before then a little taster 😬

On our way to Loton Park - sorry we didn't see you.

Here's a belated virtual wave:

No rolling road result is required but if there is some evidence that a car may not meet the regs for the class it is entered in then the club can request and pay for a rolling road power run (or the comp sec can simply move the car to a differenct class at his discretion). We've never had to do this and rely on competitors honesty. We have a pretty good understanding of what power a car makes based on it's specification. The speed a car achieves through the speed trap at certain events is also a good indicator.

Nice run Matt.

New uprated clutch fitted and engine now back in its rightful place

Still need to road test it but should be at Loton (fingers crossed). Radiator 'O' ring appears to be OK but have some spares on order!

A big thank you to Dave Gemzoe for helping me with the refit.

BTW Gill can read you know 😬

So this is what my clutch plate looks like!

New plate and cover hopefully arriving tomorrow - fingers crossed I will have it all back together for Loton.

Definitely NOT stainless. High tensile steel bolts should be used: 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9. I'm pretty sure that all the rollcage fasteners on my car are 8.8.

I always used to use Apex Fasteners in Slough when I lived there - they don't have a website but you can call them.

Namrick have both Hex and Cap head in 7/16" x 1.5 inch

Bolts are High Tensile steel capheads and I recommend plenty of loctite. They do tend to vibrate free regularly, especially on high revving engines. The manual says tighten to 25lbft.

Yes please - one for team Elwell.

😬

I've heard that Avon CR322 as used by the Academy are now the tyre of choice :-)

 

Some fronts for sale here.

Hi Stephen - get the bolts welded to the runners. Caged did it for me when I had my roll cage fitted and it makes removing/refitting the seats so easy

Thank you

Yes please Andy - I shall use it as evidence next time we have to buy tyres 😬

Actually to be fair, Gill does pay half our tyre bill

AD08R are list 1B but the normal AD08 is list 1A so it depends which class you fancy for sprinting. As a 1B tyre the AD08R is unlikely to be anywhere near as good as Supersoft Kumho V70a or Avon ZZR but I am pretty sure a few class 1 and 2 runners use the AD08.

For road use I am sure the AD08R would be fine and certainly better than many alternatives.
