Re: Lance's GT40 Australia Build

Dave,

You're welcome to come and have a look. Let me know when you're in town. In advance, if possible. Workshop access to be sorted.

I've given up on guessing when it will be hitting the road. My lotto picks have been closer.

I will be putting emergency door actuation inside. I'm actually going to use the standard internal door handles, but mounted on the rear bulkhead. I'll also be running a cable pull to a secret location on the car somewhere for external access in the same scenario. It sounds like a lot of work, but there are several advantages including removing a water ingress point on the doors. My doors have quite a bit of electrics in them. In addition, we're reinforcing the door latch mounts on the bulkhead. The mounting into the tin doesn't fill me with confidence. Hopefully, I'll never need the additional strength.

Regards,

Lance
