8.0) Preparation and installation

of the differential

The Caterham differential is attached to

the chassis via a carrier that comes with

the differential. The differential until is

supplied with drive flanges – these can be

discarded at a later stage in the

installation process.

installation (CAD image)

NOTE

Install the handbrake mechanism and

cables (see rear suspension section)

before installing the differential and

propshaft. The handbrake cables are

connected to the rear brake callipers and

are adjusted later.

8.1) Procedure

1. Install the Propshaft into the chassis

tunnel.

2. Check oil level inside the differential

(14mm allen key) – if the unit is a non-

LSD variant it will have oil in it.

NOTE

The oil should still be checked and topped

up if necessary with Caterham Differential

Oil. If the unit is a LSD then please use

the additive supplied.

3. Install the handbrake cable down the

tunnel (you may attach your clevis/clevis

wheel to the handbrake at this stage). The

white adjuster is located on the RHS, the

chassis mounting for the yellow top hat on

the cable is utilised on the LHS.

NOTE

If building an SV vehicle there is a longer

clevis used on the handbrake (part

number 50P014A).
