I think plastic versions are available on the caterham site, though I find it hard to navigate. The cast versions are no longer available new. You need to keep an eye on the bay they occasionally come up for sale.


Second that, they rarely come up, i worked out the cast one is too big to fit under the bonnet of the st, but the plastic one might just fit.


They have a newer better inlet out than that now though that is an even better fit wink


Would definatly fit if i relocate the battery to the boot

No major developments, been awaiting an alternator and fitting kit which finally turned up the other day. worked through a few drive belts until I got one that fitted. Currently working through the Ford / Mazda catalogue to find an uprated clutch that fits/works and attempting to join the gearbox to the engine. Worked out and fitted some plumbing to the engine, hoping to start on the chassis fairly soon.

The Mazda clutch plate was too big so no good, have found an uprated Ford Focus plate, right diameter right number of splines so good to go.



Found an off the shelf spigot but too loose fit in the crank, got another coming tomorrow, from a Mazda Tribute. I'll definately get one machined if it doesn't fit. Obtained a Mazda slave cylinder which has the push fit type pipe fitting. as luck would have it, after a bit of digging around, found an adapter to screw thread for it. Anyone have a spare circlip?



Inner drive shaft cleaned painted and fitted after drilling and tapping a new hole in the block and modifying the alternator bracket.



Made progress into putting a build table together, two trestles built, may do a third one, I'll see how rickety it is. Height is a bit high but I'll use a hop up or cut them down if its a big problem
