I&#8217;m sure many of you will be relieved that I&#8217;m not going to spam you with any more posts than I absolutely have to, and so I&#8217;ll combine a few together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sept 5th &#8211; Bonnet Arrived (for a while)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The bonnet (Americanese: hood) of the kit had been the only known part that had not been shipped when the kit first arrived (if we ignore the shorts box that should have been on the van). It had a couple of defects that Caterham were going to get fixed and then send out. However, it had taken a few weeks before the van was back in our area, which wasn&#8217;t a problem since the idea of having the bonnet kicking around the garage was not something I really needed, given our small play area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the bonnet was dropped off by the Caterham delivery guy today in a rather snugly fitting cardboard box. I had half a mind to leave it in the box to keep it safe but decided I&#8217;d better check it had arrived ok&#8230;. unfortunately, it hadn&#8217;t. There were some scratches and scuffs on the paintwork at the rear of the bonnet. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the paintwork &#8211; which to my eye &#8211; is immaculate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I emailed Derek and he assured me it had left the factory ok and he had no hesitation in saying that it would be sorted, just needed to find a time when the van was back in the area and could pick up the bonnet again. I&#8217;m not going to post pictures of the issue here, I think that would be an unfair publication of an issue that Caterham are on top of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, I needed somewhere to keep the bonnet safe while I waited. I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I have a trolley left over from the days of having a 911-996 C4Cab &#8211; used to store the hard top when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2927.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" data-attachment-id=\"994\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/09\/09\/build-session-15-odds-and-ends-bonnet-and-radiator\/img_2927\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2927.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3024,4032\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1507668531&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_2927\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Bonnet Trolley&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2927-1536x2048.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2927-1536x2048.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2927-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2927-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2927-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Bonnet Trolley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The new bonnet fits nicely on it (with soft rubber moulded rests for it to sit on at the bottom and foam pads at the rear).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2241.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" data-attachment-id=\"995\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/09\/09\/build-session-15-odds-and-ends-bonnet-and-radiator\/img_2241\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2241.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3024,4032\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1504648110&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_2241\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Bonnet on the trolley&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2241-1536x2048.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2241-1536x2048.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2241-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2241-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2241-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Bonnet on the trolley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this was still going to get dinged if I left it in the small confines of the garage like that.

My first look at the bonnet didn&#8217;t show any defects. It was only when I got really close that I saw them. That&#8217;s not to say they&#8217;re small, I just didn&#8217;t see them straight away. The point of this thread is to say&#8230; if I&#8217;d seen the scratches earlier then I would have put the bonnet straight back in its box and kept it safe there. But, I&#8217;d already broken down the cardboard box to use with the trolley. I guess it would also have been the case that if I&#8217;d have put the bonnet back in its box after a cursory look, then I probably wouldn&#8217;t have seen the scratches that night and it would have been weeks before getting it out of its box again. Swings and roundabouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sept 6th &#8211; Test Fit Radiator and Heater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This week was turning into a week like any other&#8230; able to grab the odd hour or 30 minutes in the evenings away from a conference bridge. During one of those hours I started to see how the main water radiator, oil radiator and associated plumbing was going to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d already had a bit of a look at the radiator a couple a week earlier when I&#8217;d gone through the manual and tried to figure out where all the pieces for this part of the build were located. This is where I couldn&#8217;t find the &#8220;inner radiator cowl&#8221; as called for in the manual. I had sent an email out to Derek asking if I was missing it and got this response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;We no longer fit the cowling to the 420R as we felt the cooling was better without it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This must be a reasonably recent decision as I&#8217;ve seen what I thought were recent blog posts from people where there clearly has been an inner cowl fitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to this test fit though&#8230; this time I wasn&#8217;t just &#8220;part picking&#8221; I was loosely hooking everything up and trying to figure out how this would work with no cowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were two discoveries here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The manual describes how to fit everything together in the section on the Sigma and Duratec wet-sump engine build.<\/li><li>I was missing the radiator fan legs. The radiator fan should have 4 legs that slot into the fan and have flanges that have holes in them to fix to the black &#8220;bat wing&#8221; extensions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick email to Derek again and he popped the fan legs into the post. Even without the fan I was able to hook most things up and look at how I was going to drill out the holes in the SV extension brackets to take the upper oil cooler fixings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2251.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" data-attachment-id=\"997\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/09\/09\/build-session-15-odds-and-ends-bonnet-and-radiator\/img_2251\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2251.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3024,4032\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1504731912&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.058823529411765&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_2251\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The radiator extension brackets for the SV chassis attached to the outside of the chassis mounts&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2251-1536x2048.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2251-1536x2048.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2251-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2251-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2251-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The radiator extension brackets for the SV chassis attached to the outside of the chassis mounts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Its fairly obvious which way up the extension brackets go.

Notice the plastic bows out from the firewall leaving a gap &#8211; not a problem IMHO.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the image above, there&#8217;s a gap between the heater assembly and the firewall\/scuttle edge. I&#8217;ve seen some people post and say they&#8217;ve added a bead of silicone to the heater edge to seal the gap. Perhaps I&#8217;ve got the wrong end of the stick with what they&#8217;re doing but I don&#8217;t see how this helps. In the picture below you can see the foam strip that runs around the aperture, behind the round vents at the bottom of the picture, where the air is actually blown into the passenger compartment. That is what is providing the airtight seal for the heater, not any silicone added to the top edge. Silicone is also nasty stuff&#8230; not nice to remove if I ever need to remove the heater, or anything else afflicted by the use of it. I&#8217;ll use silicone sparingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2237-e1507666906489.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1327\" data-attachment-id=\"1002\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/09\/09\/build-session-15-odds-and-ends-bonnet-and-radiator\/img_2237\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2237-e1507666906489.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3296,2136\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1504570339&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.04&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_2237\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Looking at heater assembly with passenger vents still attached.
