A few little upgrade's

After seeing the idea on blatchat fitting a high level brake light seem'd to be a very worth while addition, Keeping visible and maybe a bit safer can only be a good thing.


I've mounted it on the r/h side just below the level of the half hood which is on most of the time at the moment(english weather), You need the high level brake loom from caterham which fits easily to the connections already fitted to the r/h side of the fuel tank, just take out the plastic bung behind the wheel where the indicator electrics pass through and fit the new loom, you can't go wrong as they only fit one way.The light is a FIA approved led unit from car builder solutions picked up from the stoneleigh kit car show. I must admit so far i've been impressed with it and its certainly a lot brighter than the main brake lights.


Next up was to fit a power socket for my phone and sat nav which I bought from ALM electrical solutions at the classic car show, Once you have found the cables for the charger ,pre fitted by caterham hidden behind the other cables under the dash its just a case of a bit of wire and crimping on some male & female spade connectors and plug them in, easy.
I have fitted the unit to the passenger knee guard just drilled into the ally panel and screwed the charger in place a quick test to make sure that it works and job done.  :-)
