Re the high level brake light, you should have a spare plug for this in the loom under the boot near the drivers side wheel arch. Easy job. I fitted the JAL one.

Very nice car. I would like to be at this stage, but I'm just building my Locost. Built mostly the frame, and installed the engine and transmission. Duratec 2.5L and MX5 6 speed. I want to install the whole rear end of an NC Miata, that is why I did not finish the rear end of the frame. I would add a Caterham sticker in the middle of the steering wheel, looks kind of empty there. All the Caterhams have that wheel gap at the rear? I will go with 17" wheels.

They are clear lens with orange LED bulb. From “Just Add Lightness” I think.

How did you get on with the beam angles with Cafe Racer led headlights?
@StuartSutherland-1
@StuartSutherland-1 2 жыл бұрын
No problem at all. Just set up on the garage wall making sure the beam was angled down (checked height on wall compared to headlight). They are a game changer compared to the old ones.

Awesome video! Could I ask what phone holder you've got? and what's the boot cover on your car? Very smart, and love the colour! :)

What phone holder is this? Do you just isolate the battery neutral?

Hi, it’s a magnetic one that clamps onto a vent. Just happens to fit great on the bodywork. Yes, just isolate the negative on the battery.
