I thought I'd start by fitting the steering rack first which was easy enough although having spent ages looking for the sva poly bag which contains the track rod end sleeves I can't fit the the track rod ends
Looks like the sva bag has not been delivered .My first call to derek will be this morning.
I do have a shortages list of parts which are due hopefully to be delivered in about a week these are;
Air box, Rear axle, Bonnet grill's, Gear lever, Steering lock, Roll over bar, and the wheels.
Today I'm going to fit the front lower wish bones and have a look at the head light assembly.
Nice... I notice your engine has the shiny water pipe already fitted. (Mine wasn't and that gave me momentary stress)
ReplyDeleteI must admit i've only just noticed it! My main problems today were trying to sort out the light's and wires after 3 goes and a fare bit of cursing.Several hours later got the L/h sorted and then the r/h side was fine. although there was no way i could pass the wires through with the grommet in place, I will have to think of a plan B for that.
ReplyDeleteMichael, you definitely need the grommet at the bottom of the headlamp bracket (it will be a big hassle to solve it later as the front suspension is connected to the light bracket). For the top hole, where the wiring goes in, I understand that Caterham have a way to sort this at the post build check (or so I'm told). I found Holts rubber lube made getting the wires in much easier.
ReplyDeleteI have already spoken to derek on this he knew that i was missing the grommets and just told me to carry on, he did explain that the solution is to cut them in half and use super glue which i will do as the iva inspector only needs to see them there. Better than pulling them out again which is a last resort.
