Today was spent catching up on some iva trim around the lower wishbone then fitted the washer bottle and hose. I took off the jet first and added a small amount of sealant underneath.
Having set the track rod ends at 11 turns in,The discs were not in line with the car, 3 additional turns out each side seemed to do the trick, Having checked with derek who confirmed that each car is slightly different the final set-up will be done at the post build check.
Washer bottle fitted and zip tied in place.
Heater control cable in.
Heater valve fitted and ready to be connected.
Gear box extension fitted and mount bracket, It took me some time to figure out the bolt arrangement for gear box to engine.
Closing plate, clutch bracket and starter motor ready to be fitted.
I only have one of these fittings which are the bottom 2 fixings for the bell housing to engine(I think), I have contacted derek for another. The manual is rather vague regarding these fittings,...
Handbrake assembley fitted and compensator just behind.
Number 1 son, a budding caterham owner i think! (seats and steering wheel not fitted!!!)
Hi there great build read btw.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you had any idea what the gearbox is typically found in (except Caterhams! ;) ). I've heard rumors of what they're out of but nothing confirmed?
Cheers,
