Custom-made Shim Set (De Dion axles)

Manufactured from precision laser cut stainless steel, use of our shims is a unique engineering solution to ensure highly accurate set-up of toe and camber settings for the rear hubs on De Dion axle Caterhams.

As well as being essential for an accurate race car set-up these shims are ideal where the use of slick tyres requires a rear camber change.

RACELOGIC Video VBOX system for video and data logging

We provide a specialist installation service for the Racelogic Video VBOX GPS based video and data system including a predictive lap capability.

This is an easy to use video and data system that is plug and play straight out of the box.  We are able to link sensors such as for braking force and throttle position into the data acquisition functions performed by the system.

Vinyl Car Wraps and Graphics for Caterham road, track or race cars

We work with BOSS DOG, a Surrey based  vinyl specialist to ensure the vinyl wrap is to the required quality but competitively priced.

We have switched from painting to vinyl wrap for a number of our customer race cars and have been surprised at the durability.  Not only is there a lower up-front cost but repairs are significantly cheaper than paint.  Applying a vinyl wrap is ideal during a winter refresh.  The side skins and rear panel are wrapped in our workshop with the suspension removed.  The more challenging components (nose cone, scuttle and bonnet) are wrapped by BOSS DOG in his nearby workshop.

Resin Bead Seats

The resin bead seat system is the optimum method to build your race car seat. All drivers can benefit from an enhanced driving experience by having direct connection with their race cars.

Even if the manufacturers seat is available then, apart from poor fit, it is likely to seat the driver too high in the car compromising the optimum driver position. With taller drivers there can be insufficient clearance between helmet and roll cage which, without correction, will fail scrutineering. 

The problems with the messy two-part expanding foam seat building method are well known; the rapid cure time makes any seat-fitting adjustment near impossible. The resin bead solution has a longer cure time (50 minutes +) that is not subject to the vagaries of rapidly expanding foam.  As the seat structure hardens, the resin bead seat outline can be fine-tuned to ensure a close fit to the driver.

In  terms of driver safety, the resin bead seat offers much more impact resistance than foam which is why resin bead seats are the preferred choice in most categories of racing around the world.  The Real seat can be  supplied with a professionally fitted race cloth cover with an option to include personalised logos.
