YO22 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 With the intention to do a couple of club track days this year I have upgraded from the standard roll bar to a track day bar. As a result I now have a half hood and shower cap for a metric S3 which no longer fit correctly.The half hood is vinyl and has a Caterham tag on the side so I assume it to be made by Oxted. It was not new when I got it with the car two years ago but I have only used it twice and is in good condition. £150The shower cap I bought new less than 2 years ago from Softbits and have used it only 3 or 4 times so is still in excellent condition. It is the new design as advertised on the Softbits site with silver on the reverse side and allows for parking tickets to be displayed. £60.I have been that pleased with both that I will be purchasing exactly the same of each to fit my new FIA bar.

Dansuddaby Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Certainly interested in both - just need to try and gauge if they will fit on my S3 given its H1 type rollbar. Do you have the dims for the half hood it was made from with SBSF?Is the Shower cap a general one size? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YO22 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Both came off my S3 which had a H2 type rollbar. The half hood is from Caterham, so I assume it will have been manufactured by Oxted. The dimension from the seam which goes above the rollbar to the seam above the windscreen is approximately 830mm. But looking at the difference between an H1 and H2 I think the issue would more likely to be the actual shape of the bar as to hood is quite fitted. The Shower cap is from SBFS but again to suit an H2 bar. It will still fit with my new bar and I’m sure it will fit most but with it not being an exact fit I would have my concerns if it was windy. Hence why I’m changing it.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansuddaby Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Thank you Sir. Well at least my measurements are similar in as much my bar to windscreen is also 830mm. So I guess as you say it maybe the rollbar shape that may differ.Do you have any pics possibly of your roll bar for comparison at least to mine? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YO22 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 I don’t currently have the original roll bar on the car, but the best way to compare the two is via the below link to the SBFS roll bar classification page. It looks to me that there is a significant difference in the shape between the H1 And H2. I hope this helps. https://www.softbitsshop.co.uk/caterham-classifications-12-w.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
