Re: Member in US with GTD questions

Tony,

I have a GTD and offer the following:

• My fuse box in under the dash on the passenger side.
• The GTD wiring Diagrams I have are pathetic and don't match the car very well (although I could try to e-mail them if you get no other offers with better info)
• Cockpit venting is a great idea best achieved by removing the window entirely, unfortunately
• Fuel fillers: it sounds like your tanks are not vented properly. There should be a small return line that equalizes pressure when filling.
• Drivers seat in my car is bolted to the floor with adjustable seat tracks. These were not installed when I got the car. The seats were just bolted directly to the floor and my short legs could barely reach the pedals. Having the tracks helps, but makes my tall upper body wish I still had that extra inch of headroom. Adjustable pedals are the way to go if you're up to changing your set-up.

Hope that helps a bit. I have family in Pittsburgh. If you're near there, I'd love to visit next time I'm in town.

Mark
