hi all ive baught myself a caterham replica

need to start making brackets for cycle guards, headlights and all others

could some1 show me some pics of theres or links to guides please

thanks in advance

hi mate, do you know what uprights you've got? cortina's or sierra. if they are sierra's I know GBS stock them with insert mushrooms already welded on. and not too expensive i think

What actual car is it though?

You said before "based on plans he bought". So it's a Locost? Based on the Ron Champion book? Or a Roadster by Chris Gibbs? A Tiger Avon?

They're all very different beasts when it comes down to it.


Cheers,
James

right i start again...

... im new to kit cars and i will be asking alot of questions

what are uprights?

i think (find out tmoro for sure) its a caterham replica and i think he used the ron champion book does that sound about right?

thanks

also im going to make my own pannels
alli or steel better? & which size thickness?

thanks

If it's based on the orginal Ron Champion book then it's a Locost.

You'll have a much easier time of it when posting if you stick to calling it that!

The uprights are the big chunk of cast metal that the wishbones attach to. They hold the hub to which the wheel bolts!

If your car has been kept to standard Champion plans then your uprights will be from a Cortina.

However, a lot of people used the similar Sierra upright as it is/was cheaper.

Hope that helps!
