Hello all,
I'm in the process of converting my Caterham 'track only' vehicle into a street legal car. I will not be needing the following items:
1) Eight Panasport Street Wheels: 13 x 6, 4x108 bolt pattern, 16 o/s---these do clear my "Big Brakes" without issue by the way. Goodyear Racing Slicks (Formula Eagle) are currently mounted on these wheels. One set of 4 tires (7 x 20.5) are good for a few more track sessions. The other 4 tires (2 are 7 x 20.5, 2 are 8 x 20.3) have only been heat cycled. Mostly I'm simply selling the wheels---think of the tires as a bonus.
2) "Tall" FIA roll bar and petty strut (side brace). This bar is 50mm taller than the stock roll bar and it cannot be used with the standard top. On the plus side, this bar is taller than my helmeted head (I'm 6 1.5 and a helmet will add at least an inch to the top of your head.
3) Brooklands windscreens: complete and Brand New as received from Caterham. Includes mounting stanchion and all fittings.
4) Race Ears---what the hell are these you ask. If you are running bias-belted slicks you will discover that they need very little negative camber. The "Ears" mount to the end of the DiDion tube and your hubs and brakes are attached to these. The 'standard' ears yield about 3/4 degree of negative camber---the "race ears" are machined to give about 1/4 degree negative camber. Your bias-belted slicks with thank you with a much longer life (the tire's life that is, but it will help extend your life on the track too). These race ears are Caterham parts, not something that I had fabricated.
The wheels have had about 10 (well actually more, but don't tell my wife) sets of tires mounted so they have the typical nicks and chips that the 'professional' installers leave behind as their calling card. But most important, the wheels are true and have never been curbed or needed to have any type of repair.
Shipping: well yes, I can do that but it will probably be expensive and kind of a pain. As an old retired guy I don't mind delivering these items (it will help a lot if you live somewhere that I find 'interesting' or can meet me half-way).
I would be happy to bring items to LOG in Gettysburg this fall and that way you can examine the items to make sure they meet you needs and expectations. My wife and I will also be heading down to Skyline drive in Sept and to the Watkins Glen area of NY.
I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have about these items.
Thanks,
