It's the accelerator that's piquing my interest. I'm having a roller in mine but the two 'real rollers' I have are a bit crap. Years ago I had a roller skate wheel on a beetle and it was great. I'll probably do the same.

What have you done with yours - it's hard to tell from the picture?

Roller skate wheel should go straight onto the accelerator spindle if got the right bearings then just a circlip on the end

thats all i did, its worked a treat for the last 3 yrs

theres no hurry, Im just interested to see how they work,
mine uses bolt down anchor points, but looks like yours uses bolt and eye mounts, and I was just interested to see if the brackets on your harness just clip on so to speak.

Steve from what I remember when Chris had the buggy the harnesses at the top clip onto loops welded on the roll bar and I assume eye bolts on the floor, the harnesses themselves have the sprung clip mechanisms the same as mine and I guess your Luke ones

Looks like I need to get a roller skate wheel then. Ta for the replies.

arh, so the clips are a bit like a carabiners ?

mine are bolt mounts on the top and the bottom, hence the reason I can only use caterham ones with bolt mounts which only Luke do.


A metal sleeve sits in the holes, the bolts then go through the sleeves and through the mounts on the cage, the sleeves allow the harness to move freely.
bugger..you just got me thinking, I could have just bought the eye bolts which would have gone through my mounting holes, and then I could have bought any make of harness with the spring clips  after the rubbish customer service I have had from LUKE.

this is the correct answer

Yes you could have Steve Oh well hindsight's a wonderful thing 

I suppose you could still send back the badly coloured one and get a complete new matching pair possibly cheaper

they picked them yesterday, they are going to have a look, and more than likely, three weeks down the line I'll get a reply 

Feels like a bit of a w.i.p hijack 

to get back on track 

Roller skate wheels are the future ....smooth acceleration 

Roller skate wheels are the future ....smooth acceleration 

And available in a multitude of colours and styles. Even ones for the most chromosexual of individual   

  still feeling hijacked  .......... good job this ain't a plane !!

Soz, let's get back to your buggy
