Hi Guys,

Here's a part for our ZF equipped "Series 100" CAV GTs. It's a rear body support with Le Mans Quick Lift Jack Tabs. Designed to work with our ZF Transaxle Bracket or can be used with the original Cape Advanced Vehicles (pre Autofutura) ZF and Rear Sway Bar Bracket.

The new part is retained by four 10mm socket head cap screws. It will not fit CAVs after s/n 100 as there is no provision to hold up the transxle from below.

On ealier cars, the CAV Canada beam weldment transxale bracket takes care of all load carrying and shudder issues on ZF cars.

Shown is a prototype part and we're quite pleased with the results. As goes all things in developement, an apparently simple looking part can be a real challenge to make, even before considering the costs of low volume production.

Like all CAV Canada parts, the purpose of the part is to increase the performance, function, reliability (if an issue) and cosmetics of a particular component or vehicle system. This peice certainly makes the grade.

The plan is to supply the part powder painted black, with an aluminum lower pan and easy to adjust mounting plates so installation can be done with hand tools and a couple of jack stands. Removing the rear clip for major driveline service becomes a matter of two bolts, a harness connector, ground strap and pop off the struts. More importantly, it goes stait back on, no more fiddling with shims and slotted mounts!

As shown the gas strut mounts for the rear clip aren't in place and we're using the original plates off the old bracket in the hinge hardware. That will change. Anyways, I hope you like the part, it should be available soon and the first six buyers will get the 10% GT40s Forum discount that CAV Canada has on for a limited time, even if the sale is over...

Cheers
