Fixed the oil temp wire to the apollo - got the right one now (twirled around the LHS upper chassis rail). After a few discussions with Caterham they have agreed that I need to get some longer bolts for the seat fixings - the lowered floor now has strengthening strips that make the two choices of bolts supplied unsuitable. They're going to send some. The solution to the adjuster catching on the chassis rail is low-tech; bend it. Caterham also confirmed that I've got the wiring right for the battery/alternator (the manual is wrong if you have a battery master switch fitted).
My other bag of goodies arrived today so I've replaced the knackered radiator bobbin. The missing 'water' hose arrived and was actually a fuel hose; I already had an off cut of fuel hose from the lower pressure return but assumed the water hose was different! Oh well.
The expansion tank still doesn't sit properly on the apollo pipes so I need to shave a bit more off. Still got the bloody rear wheel protection bar to fit.....
1 hour today, 61.5 hours total.
