A sensible number of people on track which reduced as the day past. The weather was perfect and the track..... wow. What a perfect track for a Caterham. Fast corners, quick changes of direction and a not a lot of run off to keep you on your toes.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjikTxJkFMKsZwVEm_2jElgUAa06zXInWmJB0-Mrr_HKnlpd-jrtaw-Xo5a3KYbT_Zz3hZ_vK_7At6S3ZI1460hxgZoQXD9noVGn7U88T4gFK82iVT3_nYIUEVv9J1rnJixMZ8LDj8AeIc/s2048/MIT_2349.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjikTxJkFMKsZwVEm_2jElgUAa06zXInWmJB0-Mrr_HKnlpd-jrtaw-Xo5a3KYbT_Zz3hZ_vK_7At6S3ZI1460hxgZoQXD9noVGn7U88T4gFK82iVT3_nYIUEVv9J1rnJixMZ8LDj8AeIc/s320/MIT_2349.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBVsnBmbsKosIUUSndriBNoaMJqWTIufFymYbHHkwloMuqC6CjRi9EyR1pbdCKdBpAewh-Q04MRmzDXcLvY3T8geuUaOw6YaqIYeCc-cC87oWTMPXS1lmgyAYfM_kXq0DeQlAaYSdne2c/s2048/MIT_2690.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBVsnBmbsKosIUUSndriBNoaMJqWTIufFymYbHHkwloMuqC6CjRi9EyR1pbdCKdBpAewh-Q04MRmzDXcLvY3T8geuUaOw6YaqIYeCc-cC87oWTMPXS1lmgyAYfM_kXq0DeQlAaYSdne2c/s320/MIT_2690.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN6tU-G7pGZOnQ9dGx4QMg_6lyYXTTtDTjoI7EN0P5nUHXcyvFZi6Uf7CiUmZ8Rq-t5LzS6BdregRHSQtkPzJYrdU6l3VIlaCxrjOJUvRPHYDL8UuoKqR4qjO7GWvrYSBchWVAz-nv_Rk/s2048/MIT_4756.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN6tU-G7pGZOnQ9dGx4QMg_6lyYXTTtDTjoI7EN0P5nUHXcyvFZi6Uf7CiUmZ8Rq-t5LzS6BdregRHSQtkPzJYrdU6l3VIlaCxrjOJUvRPHYDL8UuoKqR4qjO7GWvrYSBchWVAz-nv_Rk/s320/MIT_4756.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXYFuUUn58K3w4cre_yPlKsLUxBCjsSuWv-wrYXKtZhFz0mCQwd7bU26yei5UMBNKhzW5BH_L_PwPHnnYPR-RNKQKm_MP-KIfBZeTAckQZH4GYojDry7AkKjw197xcWFRRmAidy0NENM0/s2048/MIT_7748.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXYFuUUn58K3w4cre_yPlKsLUxBCjsSuWv-wrYXKtZhFz0mCQwd7bU26yei5UMBNKhzW5BH_L_PwPHnnYPR-RNKQKm_MP-KIfBZeTAckQZH4GYojDry7AkKjw197xcWFRRmAidy0NENM0/s320/MIT_7748.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>apbissellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16850862628737663510noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116692445705936384.post-78287460229090041142020-08-13T22:58:00.004+01:002020-09-19T13:42:07.202+01:00Forest of Bowland again. <p> I love this car.

As it happened the lamp holder in the reverse light housing just needed some TLC to ensure good electrical connection with the lamp. However as I was checking fuses the headlight fuse had effectively melted itself into the fuse carrier. <div><br /></div><div>In my 2014 Roadsport the fuse carrier is made up of 6 units of Ripca modular fuse and relay holders. With the headlight being fuse No. 12 (from the top) then it meant breaking apart the collection of 6 modules to insert a new Ripca module.</div><div><br /></div><div>I bought a pack of 5 modules inc. connectors from Polevault (RELF_1KIT)</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://polevolt.co.uk/acatalog/3-way-interlocking-fuse-box-plus-1-relay-socket---terminals-RELF_1KIT.html#SID=151">https://polevolt.co.uk/acatalog/3-way-interlocking-fuse-box-plus-1-relay-socket---terminals-RELF_1KIT.html#SID=151</a> </div><div><br /></div><div>The unit is held in place by two set screws under the top and bottom relays with nylocs in the engine bay just behind the air filter box. The Ripca's just slide apart, or at least they would have done if they were not superglued together. 20 minutes of messing about with a stanley knife to cut through the superglue bond and the units came apart.</div><div><br /></div><div>The connectors need a firm push from teh front to get them out. I used the end of the long nose pliers. However once you get the connectors out you will see that the pins (flaps) which hold them into th Ripca carrier have been bent back on themself. For all but two of the pins I will able to bend these back and they fitted firmly into the new fuse carrier. However three of the connectors had broken pins. One of the Relay spaces and two of the fuse connectors. The Ripca kit comes with the connectors but you do need a special crimper. I got one from Sealey. Be carefull which way your put the connector into the crimper. I dedcided to sacrifice two connectors to be sure I had them the correct way around.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3k91-d3SR8ffe3IjD1LO6zaLfXPaV4cPKOovOXggHPFk82szbp6Jtd0l5NdPHsZKtP2-S7BEf70pFmx40qf0j1lFt_FMDCGoAxwIRKs5av2G3ccGw4gRYO1vQPChFyvzyf4JXR7k2Z2M/s2048/20200620_153415.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3k91-d3SR8ffe3IjD1LO6zaLfXPaV4cPKOovOXggHPFk82szbp6Jtd0l5NdPHsZKtP2-S7BEf70pFmx40qf0j1lFt_FMDCGoAxwIRKs5av2G3ccGw4gRYO1vQPChFyvzyf4JXR7k2Z2M/s320/20200620_153415.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Melted Fuse.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgifoiWYGZ_0yV03UO4zRl_Llyny0inUmj8Gsh7d6T4_NkEiDzCOj8N6XULs63_dqqJuBwzCctZNoFkjpfGYi5MEUqpKvSGkQU_UOjBu3ph-H2Q6qs2k0ioP9gB4gPRGhz668HVsPAeJBc/s2048/20200620_153533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgifoiWYGZ_0yV03UO4zRl_Llyny0inUmj8Gsh7d6T4_NkEiDzCOj8N6XULs63_dqqJuBwzCctZNoFkjpfGYi5MEUqpKvSGkQU_UOjBu3ph-H2Q6qs2k0ioP9gB4gPRGhz668HVsPAeJBc/s320/20200620_153533.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ripca Modular Fuse and Relay Carrier</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxMnxICl8Sp8d9JeQRPu7ZoSHLTu0XJfmiqmKsap6wtegHxfCWdbeQMgVCkeNbph2r-kOK0nj9ryIyRNo9DALltQXUrF3DvAi4bvSUPdt1l-_CSZorOz18nAHC7jziq9lG4ojIauzS2w/s2048/20200627_123328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxMnxICl8Sp8d9JeQRPu7ZoSHLTu0XJfmiqmKsap6wtegHxfCWdbeQMgVCkeNbph2r-kOK0nj9ryIyRNo9DALltQXUrF3DvAi4bvSUPdt1l-_CSZorOz18nAHC7jziq9lG4ojIauzS2w/s320/20200627_123328.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Damaged Pins</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4PFuW5MPyhZhqLzstwSGTnqP8MVfXFSK_R6xRCyWEPpcgD0kP-4Db_7AVmkl89o4VAmjw72rCWC42kUszJbC3XnbhT3o6iDDSyBJAuALcjDO8FjPU-gzm0gCfAl25bHH5eGfCgRgrXLA/s2048/20200711_101531.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4PFuW5MPyhZhqLzstwSGTnqP8MVfXFSK_R6xRCyWEPpcgD0kP-4Db_7AVmkl89o4VAmjw72rCWC42kUszJbC3XnbhT3o6iDDSyBJAuALcjDO8FjPU-gzm0gCfAl25bHH5eGfCgRgrXLA/s320/20200711_101531.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Replacement Kit (minus the one I used)</div><div><br /></div>apbissellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16850862628737663510noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116692445705936384.post-89832878326184655742020-01-31T23:23:00.001+00:002020-01-31T23:23:36.897+00:00Still Loving ItNeeded to go to my Mums to do some jobs so took the Caterham.

There were a few bikes, a 3 wheeler Morgan and my Caterham. The was superb with the only issue being a dodgy speedo as the temperature hit 37 degrees. Once the temperature dropped the speedo worked fine again. Once at home I found the exhaust bobbin had split badly. That has now been replaced.<br />

As it happens my cycle wing drivers side indicator wasn't working. I ordered another from Caterham just in case (super fast delivery as always) but thought I would also check if power was getting to the indicator before replacing it. Having taken the wheel off and looking under the cycle wing you could see some corrosion. I took out the nut and bolt where the indicator was earthed and it was obvious there was no chance of a connection. A quick clean with a file, re-connection and then waxoyl over the area and my old indicator is working again.<br />

Not easy to photograph all the connections due to other components covering things up. A good source of info is Tom Woods blog and his pipe diagram. <a href="https://caterhamssr.blogspot.com/2013/08/day-7-8-full-days.html?m=1" target="_blank">Tom Wood Blog</a><br />

<br />

<br />
Last week I saw another drop of oil and a quick check showed the leak appeared to be coming from the same place. However closer inspection showed the problem was that the right angle pipe had come away from the orange valve on the breather plate. As I re-attached the pipe to the orange valve I realised the pipe is 15mm too short and is essentially being pulled away from the orange valve. Given that the pipe carries oil vapour and a bit of oil to the air intake then it gets well lubricated and before you know (well in about a year) the pipe has come away from the orange valve.<br />
<br />
I cut a new pipe today and the extra length means the pipe is essentially pushing itself onto the orange valve. Time will tell if this works.<br />

I have been left trying to find a trackday supplier as L7C trackdays are not an option. With that in mind I started looking around and the most surprising thing was how much cheaper non L7C trackdays are, also there is a fantastic choice of tracks and days.<br />
<br />
I decided on a midweek trip to Oulton Park in early March and it was first class. The organisation was spot on, not too many on track (16 tops at any one time), there were 7 No. 20m sessions for each group of cars and it was plenty of time in the car. £129 well spent. I will be doing some more with MSVT.<br />

They push through by just over 40mm and didn't look right. So having wanted to try some 3D printing for a while I have built a crude (24 segment) centre cap in sketch up and sent it for printing as a trial. If it seems like it may be the answers I'll smooth it up in Blender and get it printed to a higher resolution. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So the 3D printed prototype arrived, see the pictures below. My first thoughts :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. The printing is very accurate as the facets of the 3D model has shown up clearly. This will mean a new model using 100 or maybe more segments for the circles and curves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. The surface finish is quite smooth and so maybe a switch to the 100 micron material will give a smoother finish. This prototype was a 200 micron material.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. The legs have been hollowed out. That is something the software does which is clever with regards saving material, but not so clever with regards removing the strength where it is needed. One leg broke just putting the unit in the wheel once. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. The dimensions are spot on with the exception of 0.5mm needs to come off where the leg clip sits against the wheel. How repeatable this technology is I am about to find out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. The inside of the seven is very rough. I guess the software needs to add another face to where the seven has been removed. On the other hand my plans are to fill this void with an enamel which will hide the lines of the print.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
The day started at 8.30am with the first qualifying sessions although we only got there at 9.10am. The day finished at 6.30pm ish and had passed in a flash. As always with Caterhams there were clusters of very close racing in every group. Sir Chris Hoy was there and did very well in his second race getting from 13th or 14th up to 6th.<br />

I hadn't done a track day before in my own car and so I used blatchat for a list of things to take and relied on good luck for the rest. <br />
<br />
Prior to the day I had ordered new R888R's and some new minilites, alas the minilites didn't turn up in time and so I swapped my Uniroyal Rainsport tyres for the R888R's. That would turn out to be a bad move with the track being so wet on the day.<br />
<br />
I loaded the car up with oils, spanners, tyre pressure guage and other bits and set off the night before with the Donington Park Farmhouse hotel booked. I can't recommend that place enough. <br />
<br />
On the day the weather was as promised very wet. I watched the die hards go out first and after 40 minutes a dry line appeared and so I tip toed out onto track. I found myself letting a lot of people passed for a few laps until I found out about the car and track and then started to push for 12 laps. On the 12th lap I had 3 near spins and so I decided to head in as I was clearly getting too confident.<br />
<br />
I had a 30 minute break and then managed to get another 10 laps in and then just before lunch I managed to get 8 more in. Sadly that was that for the day. Although some ventured out in the afternoon I decided with the R888R's on the car and the need to drive it home, I opted to leave the track at 3pm and head home. <br />
<br />
Book a Track organised the day on behalf of the Lotus 7 club and I hope they do that more often. BaT don't require the FIA roll bar which the L7C do. As I have no desire to have an FIA roll bar I cannot attend L7C days which does make me wonder if there is any point in being a member of L7C. BaT were excellent and the set up is fantastic. I will definitely do another day and hope for better weather.<br />

I had tie wrapped the pipes together but the J Pipe had rubbed against the black water outlet box which is mounted to the engine. I have therefore removed the tie wrap and added another 25mm P Clip and fixed that to the black water outlet box. There were no fixings for this in my multitude of extra nuts and bolts from completing the build so I had to scavenge what I could for now.<br />

Not the best of roads for a Caterham as you got near to the Tarn but lovely scenery. The cloud kept the sun out for almost the whole journey which was a little bit out of order to be honest but otherwise a fabulous drive.<br />

However today I took it out for a few.<br />
<br />
With so many journeys in and around Bowland I decided to head south! My 66.6 mile route took me to Denshaw, Crag Vale, Hebdon Bridge, Mereclough, Rossendale and home. Some of the more open roads were also quite bumpy, not potholes but bumpy enough to make you slow down to protect the sump.<br />
<br />
I took a few pictures along Turvin Road where it meets Rochdale Road.<br />

Have to say that March and April have been very kind with regards the weather and free mornings to go for a drive. Today I decided to drive up to Ribblehead Viaduct, ~43 miles. The idea was to get onto the road under the viaduct to get some pictures but access prevented that. Instead I took some pictures from the west side of the viaduct with the light passing through the arches. <br />
<br />
Getting home was touch and go and the last 15 miles were driven with great care as I was approaching 200 miles which is roughly where I run out of fuel depending on how I have been driving.<br />
<br />
Dropped a bit of a clanger when driving out of Slaidburn and instead of trusting the sat nav I went with instinct and found myself clocking up an 10 miles I could have done without giving I was running out of fuel. #Lesson Learnt.<br />

I always felt I had enough oil in there but the dip stick barely had any oil on and it always seemed to be a bit of a thin film of oil.<br />
<br />
I read a while ago about removing the 'o' ring at the top of the dip stick and so decided to give it a go. The idea is that the 'o' ring creates a good seal and so pushes the oil out of the dip stick tube thus giving a false reading. So today I took a reading and the oil seemed to just be touching the minimum. I took the 'o' ring off and suddenly the oil was just over maximum !!!<br />
<br />
So I have drained some oil, taken 3 more reading to check I am in the middle of the min and max. Interestingly, putting the 'o' ring back on gave me barely a drop of oil on the dip stick.<br />

Between builders work last year and the snow, ice and rain this year it feels like I should have SORN the car this winter. None the less, the weather report looked good and so I headed out on one of my 70 miles routes around the forest of Bowland. Found a few nice spots to take some pictures aswel. The car ran perfectly as always albeit a bit dirty.<br />
