Hey there,
since I bought my 7 earlier this year I've been making a few things for it that you lot might be interested in.

My first problem was struggling with heel-and-toeing in the 7, as the gap between the pedals was too big to get with the side of my foot, and the footwell too small to twist and get the pedal. so I made these Pedal Extension Plugs I've sold about 50 sets of them so they seem to be well liked.

the other problem I found was the caterham mirrors were atrocious. I replaced them with convex Spa mirrors and now I'm not scared of changing lane!
to mount the Spa mirrors I tried the Eccles mount but found it a bit.... wobbly, so I came up with a better solution

if anyone is interested in any of these, you can find all the info at https://graearea.github.io/

I also made some self-cancelling indicators with buttons on the wheel and magloc cabling for quick release. they use accelerometers to tell the controller when the car has stopped turning and to cancel the indicators. I'm not sure if I can sell these, as they're safety critical, but they're pretty awesome.

any questions? fire away!
