Holiday time nearly over but not got as much done as I had hoped




Unfortunately Caterham have been closed down for this whole holiday period which meant I couln't get the rack brackets. I have also found (or not found!) that I don't have the left-hand cycle stay and as this has to be fitted onto the stub axle before the top ball joint is located, so this side of the suspension is not completed yet.
The break did give me time to do an inventory check so I have identified a number of items also missing, but will get all of these ordered this week ready for the weekend.
As to the right-hand suspension build I had no real problems as the manual is pretty good but I think the brake pipe is not located correctly in the inside of the chassis as the lock nut is taking too much thread.
At least I managed to get the engine and gearbox mated up and this now ready to go into the chassis when the front suspension is completed.
