  1. I don't recall those being hard to find. Have you checked the fastener pack for the cooling system?
  2. Here are a couple of photos taken during my build that show the mounts in place. As seen in the second photo, the factory didn't sufficiently bend the bracket to create a parallel mounting surface for the radiator, so that had to be done to fit. It's a thick piece that took some persuasion to get right.
  3. I used slightly shorter bolts which just squeezed in under the diagonal but were still long enough to extend past the chassis tube by ~4 threads. The bolts supplied with my kit were much longer than needed.
  4. I fabricated a simple removable block off plate for the oil cooler to minimize its effect in road driving. It seems to help, but it's still quite slow to warm up compared to my Westfield. That car has a 230hp Duratec with Raceline wet sump, no oil cooler, and a much smaller radiator. It's never had issues with high oil temps on the road, even in very hot weather, and operating oil temperature is also reached much more quickly. Factor in the Caterham's dry sump with extra oil capacity and the oil cooler, it seems overkill for the road. The Laminova-style oil cooler, as mentioned in many threads on this subject, seems the best solution for road use.
  5. Really nice work! Someone needs to sell that throttle cable adapter. I tried to radius the edges of the factory opening to reduce the likelihood of snapping a cable, but this is a far better solution.
  6. I had to place the throttle cable in a large figure 8 to run the linkage in the back but it's worked well thus far. The lack of space in that area was certainly challenging, and it's even more so with your closer-to-stock setup. Looking forward to seeing your final solution.
  7. I had trouble with the upper hose as well. My set up is a little different than yours as I'm not using the submarine mount for the water temp sensor, the throttle linkage is on #3&4, and I'm using a different belt tensioner setup, but it might give you some alternate ideas. The key for me was using a convoluted hose and printing a bracket to hold it in position. Pictures and a few details are in this post: https://usa7s.net/ips/topic/13992-520r-sv-build-has-commenced/?do=findComment&comment=134367
  8. A similar question was asked and answered here on USA7s about the tachometer. Based on the photos, it looks like the connector is the same. Provided someone can confirm they are, you'll have your answer. -John
  9. An Admin can configure which editing functions show based on device size. The default limits the options for small screens (i.e. mobile) given the limited space, but you can control which show. You can also change carriage return behavior so that there is no extraneous line inserted. Drop me a PM if you want me to walk you through the necessary steps in the admin console for either change. -John
  10. I did a little more digging and this is an iPhone setting that will transfer a photo in a compatible format when emailing or texting, which is another way of saying it will convert HEIC files to JPEGs given the former is not universally supported. To enable this, go to Settings, then Photos, then at the bottom of the screen, set "Transfer to Mac or PC" to Automatic.
  11. Interested to hear what you find. My sample size is small, so my experience is certainly not definitive.
  12. I'm not a Mac user, but a simple online search revealed the following. Might try that and report back to the group. In my testing, the HEIC issue is not present when using an iPhone. Just as they automatically change an HEIC file to a JPEG when emailing the image, they also upload them to the forum as a JPEG with no other changes. I'm not sure if I've simply been lucky or if that is consistent across Apple's mobile devices. I will say that in every instance where I've seen an HEIC file uploaded, logs show the device used was a Mac, not an iPhone. You can convert HEIC images to JPEG format on a Mac using the built-in Preview app. Here are the steps: Open the HEIC image in Preview. From the top menu, select File and then Export. In the Export dialog box, select JPEG from the Format dropdown menu. Choose a location to save the new file and click Save.
  13. And since we know it's the title, if you further filter to search titles only, it is the only result returned.
  14. No, I simply pasted the phrase with no quotes into the search bar, set it to Everywhere, then once I had the initial results, clicked on the phrase filter beneath. I just tried it again and had slightly updated results:
  15. When searching for "Banner Battery model is 053 034", then clicking on "The phrase "Banner Battery model is 053 034"" located under the search box, since I know I'm searching for a specific phrase, I get the following. Three results with the most recent on top. Pretty good. The key is to use those additional filters based on your search terms. Are your search terms a specific phrase with the terms in that specific order? Do the results need to include all the terms in any order? Or are you just looking for as many of those words as possible? Invision also provides other search filters when you click on "+ More search options" that further help you clarify what you are looking for.
