    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.

    Lovely! I ve only had mine for a month, but my upgraditis led to LED lights, better camshafts, softbits, phone electrics. It is a lovely hobby!

    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.

    nice vid! where did you find the bulbs for the side indicators? are they orange or plated?

      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 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    Hey there. I think you've got your eccles' mounts upside down. I do custom made ones that attach to your door in 3 places, not 2, if you're interested.

      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.
