Default Great track car I heard...My brother's friend has a shop that builds Caterham clones......
His shop is in Manila....He actually started his business building and servicing Jeepneys. Then He one day bought a Caterham from an Australian...loves it.Realizing how very simple its profile and shape, he starts making matching piece parts taken from his original Caterham...but using tuned Toyota or VW engines and custom motorcycle double dampers on wishbone swing-arms.He calls it something else obviously being a custom kit.

Default When I ordered them...it came with the bolts,OEMs have diff. seats & 1/4" too short.........
I would go to a Wheel shop (like Wheelworks) where they can provide you bolts with proper length and seats when they inspect your car and TSW rims......goodluck

They sell them around Dallas and set up for racing. You can get them with the Honda S2000 motor for a *mere* $32k.
