I found the plate for the pedal box and the grommet after all.
I've confirmed with Caterham Midlands that the correct fitting order is harnesses, full cage, rear suspension to save having to undo lots of stuff so I have been desperately trying to find out how to fit the cage. The instructions seem horrendously out of date, plus I then discovered that half the fixings are missing - it didn't help that they were all in the 'Misc' bag with 100's of other fixings! James Gibson at Caterham has come to the rescue again on that front.
So, the fixing method is:
Rear legs to brackets inside rear panel
X2 BF5/16X2 Bolts, X4 WPH5/16 Washers, X 2 NFYF5/16 Nuts. 1 washer is to be used either side of each bracket.
X2 SFH1/2X1 (Special bolt with reduced size head) to be fitted from underneath up into the legs which mount on the upper rail behind the seats.
X4 SF7/16X5/8 Bolts, X4 WSH7/16 Spring washers to fix front legs. 1 bolt either side of each bracket.
Looking from the rear of the car, the correct sequence is:
BOLT > SPRING WASHER > INNER PANEL > CAGE | CHASSIS BOSS | OUTER SKIN < CAGE < SPRING WASHER < BOLT
taking note to fit the inboard cage plate between the inner panel and the chassis boss for a neater finish.
The one car that CML have had delivered already had the holes cut in the skin/inner panel, but typically mine doesn't so I'll have to drill them.
I'll post pictures when I've fitted it!
