Alan I bought a pair of Rizoma (RIZBS132B) mirrors from Moore Speed Racing in Poole as they were the only place I could find who had them in stock! I also bought the Rizoma fitting kit (RIZBS887B) which, not only extends the mirrors a touche wider, but includes a range of M bolt sizes one of which i...

You can buy new 2" or 3" 4 point harnesses suitable for an Atom direct from Willans or Sabell and they are reasonably priced! - buying used harnesses is a safety gamble as you don't know the history or stresses they have been exposed to (been in an accident?) As the Atom has no roof, they ...

When my Atom was completely stripped right back to the bare frame by the Ariel factory during 2018 the frame went back to the fabricators to then modified/upgraded to the full 3.5R spec and then re-powdercoated with the latest Gunmetal then rebuilt by the factory from scratch as a 'fill blown 3.5R (...

I have an Atom 3.5R (360bhp) rather than an Atom 4 and virtually never use 1st gear to launch

As it's such a light car 1st gear, in my opinion, is virtually redundant on an Atom!

SPA also offered a steering wheel with a flat top!

Have a look on Demon Tweaks or Merlin Motorsports

To fit a front wing to an Atom 3 the permanent wing mounting brackets require the optional front towing eye bracket fitted to the Atom nose assembly - the wing is then bolted to this bracket (retained nuts) with 4 bolts!

Still no one has explained to me why Ariel decided to move away from such a long and successful partnership with Alcon to untried non servo assisted AP brakes for the Atom 4 - moreover to an AP model of brake that is normally designed to be servo assisted? Additionally why choose AP and not (for exa...

As the owner of a 3.5R fitted with Alcons front and rear which are simply epic I've been watching this thread with interest! Can anyone tell me the reason why Ariel decided to move away from Alcon to AP for the Atom 4? Why specifically AP for which the reviews I've read are somewhat mixed depending ...

FYI - just to let you know that your eBay advert says that the engine fitted to your Atom is 3.5?

Can't say personally that I've ever had a problem with visibility but I probably, as everyone does, automatically move my head a bit more to compensate?

The extra weight is more than made up by the windscreen markedly improving the aero!

I'm using the same tyres and I am currently using :

Front : 16psi (1.1 bar)
Rear : 19psi (1.3 bar)

Which work well for me!

Are you from the USA? ("tires")

Winmoz I assume that this insurance is simply against theft? When actually towing my trailer (plus cargo) are covered by my car insurance. FWIW - I use both a wheel clamp and very sturdy Hitch Lock (both Bulldogs) plus various areas underneath have had a good dowsing with coded 'SmartWater'! The Sma...

Hope that the weather's good for your camping !

It's a hotel with a comfortable bed and decent restaurant for me everytime!

Rooney Absolutely fine. . - criteria is that most of the towed weight should be over or in front of the trailer axles/wheels - the trailer nose weight (weight pressing down on the car towball) should, as a rule of thumb, lie somewhere between approximately 5% to 7% of your trailer's gross laden weig...
