Update from Rob at Ratrace Motorsport

Phonecall from Rob to update me about the car, viz.

All four (4) CR500’s worn out and o/s/r has a nail present. I was aware they would need changing. Confirmed that Rob can change tyres and agreed I would order a set Avon ZZS to be delivered to him.
The De Dion tube is original and is one of the thin wall models which should have been recalled by Caterham. This is a safety issue and should be replaced. Agreed.
Rear springs are very compressed at the current ride height and a new perch is required. Agreed.
Braced engine mount is very worn and should be replaced. Agreed.
Rear anto roll bar is set up incorrectly and as a result when the car rolls the anit roll bar will try to make contact with the body. This shoould be rebuilt correctly. Agreed.
Mini track rod ends have been fitted which (a) will make the steerting unecessarily heavy and are very difficult to adjust. These could be changed. Agreed that they should be changed.

As a result of pts 4,5&6 car will need to be flat floored and geo checked. Will be flat floored for a 115 kg driver and 4.5 imp. gallons (20.5 litres) of fuel

I am very impressed with Rob’s diligence, SWMBO is less so!
