Cam cover |
|
The cam cover was sanded, to remove the paintwork on the raised sections and expose the aluminium. |

Odyssey Battery |
|
The heavy OEM battery supplied by Caterham was ditched in favour of this much smaller and lighter one. |

McLaren Badge |
|
A friend at McLaren gave me a badge from the nosecone of an F1 roadcar. It seemed churlish not to put this discreet badge on the the car! |

Lowered headlamps #1 |
|
Used some alternative headlamp brackets to lower the headlamp and indicator slightly - this is the difference as seen from the rear. |

Lowered Headlamps #2 |

... and from the front. Also shown are Minty the Duracell Bunny and some new clear indicator lenses |

Carbon/Kevlar seats |
|
I managed to acquire some free Tillet seats, so they have replaced the original leather ones which now live in a Westfield! |

Rewiring the Battery Master Switch |
|
For some reason the alternator-to-battery lead went all around the engine block, despite a feed from the starter solenoid being about 3" away. I reconnected a spare, short battery cable to the starter solenoid |

Rewiring the BMS |
|
...and attached the other end to the alternator. Works a treat and it's much neater. The job is very fiddly done in situ tho! |

Rubber P-clips for the brake lines |
|
Some 4.6mm rubber-lined P clips replaced the manky old plastic things |

New engine loom |
|
The wiring loom for the engine was stripped down and the runs made neater and cleaner.. |

New engine loom 2 |
|
Against all probability, everything worked first time! |

More reliable fan-switch |
|
The Rover thermostatic fan switch gave up after almost exactly 2 years - which is apparently about par for the course. This much more reliable VW item is a straight swap. I bought it direct from Raceline, whose service is superb. |
