From the Caterham Blatchat forum. No idea if it fits. Looks great if you like carbon. Name of supplier in Germany at the bottom of guide.

One of the many ideas on my wish list.

It may be a long shot, but provide measurements - he may be able make to size required.

Mate - that's no good for your car, irrespective of whether it fits or not! WHY?..... it's REAL Carbon Fibre

Roj - he needs no encouragement on here - however on the track it may be required due to his limited skill set

Abbott - we've had this conversation before, "them' fighting words!"

Don't worry - my talent (or inherent lack of) will be more than made up for by the fact that I have FAR MORE POWER than you. No replacement for displacement baby!

[Abbosevolution]

Thanks all for the comments - have a couple of options I like and will post when in - Nigel your lack of lsd will be your undoing .......

Satsuma v Jaffa - should be a grin

So just waiting for the leather gaiter - gonna give this a go and if I don't get on with it will try deadscoob's version.
What do you think ?

[Racing Roj]

Nice but I like Ult-Jims version better.

[Abbosevolution]

Yes I like that one also but wanted a quick solution - the one I've installed is the same as the Brabus and I find that very comfortable.

How difficult do you think it would be to change my right hand shift to centre shift?
If I could do it would I need a complete new linkage as well as gear lever and support mech.
I have a G50 001-1-J.
Thanks
Roj

Hi Roj - Having looked/helped with a buddies build with right hand shift I would suggest you'd need to change to a newer box that could be operated via cable. Other than that I'll leave it to others more qualified than myself to comment.

There are a few "kits" available for this.

I have a G50 cable shift conversion and it works well. Mine is from cable shift systems.

Just a quick follow up to say my carbon handbrake sleeve landed this week and it's a lurvely bit of kit! As pictured by Jim above, it's a great addition to the car. Carsten has said he's happy for other Ultima owners to reach out to him for a commission too

[Abbosevolution]

I have also gone this route - big thanks to Ult-Jim and Carston for as Mark says a quality bit of kit

[UltimaCH]

Looks like this hand brake cover could also end up in my build...
