Fitting a blacktop
Now, i may get boo-ed for this, but i am looking at fitting a blacktop zetec into a caterham SV chassis but have been informed that some caterham
chassis' have an issue with a tube that fouls the waterpump on the blacktop.
Does anyone know anything about this. any info would be grand.
Cheers.

I wouldn't have thought there would be a problem, the chassis is that little bit wider, Here is a pic of a duratec in a SV chassis.
Water pump looks in a similar place.

Excellent, thanks for the pic.
I could see if it was far enough forward there may be a problem, but i cannot imagine the zetec being any longer than a duratec.

I think you are refering to the thermostat housing coming in contact with the back of the engine bay, ive fitted a raceline water rail to get over
this (see pic below)
