Nice pics Jim.

Many thanks for posting the pictures of the clutch and wiper motor.
Its interesting to see the wiper motor is the same as on the MKIIs, but the mounting, shaft length, and lack of drive cable are all different.

What does it say on the calipers ?
They look like 2 pot jobs - I thought the mkIV had the 4 pot Kelsey hayes ones as used on the later mkIs ?

Also very intetresting to see the amount of offset on the rear uprights when compared to mkI uprights.

Can I be cheeky and ask for some closeup pics of the dash and fuse box

All the best.
John.

Thanks Jim, I thought the caliper looked like a KH, just it looks like a 2 pot job.

Does your wiper motor park, or do you have to be a dab-hand at flicking the switch at just the right time ??

Just wondered as my motor has no self parking mechanism.

Haven't seen any posts on P4/5 for a while. I guess your too busy out driving it :p
Cheers,
John.

Hi

No the wiper switch has a park position that is spring loaded that lets you park it.

Just turned 2K miles in P 4/5.

She may be at the FOS this Summer.

Your stable of cars is to envy, especially the MkIV GT40. Absolutely stunning!

Hi Jim, beautiful work on the chassis cleaning and polishing, care to share a few secrets?

Brian

Jude The Obscure · 04-07-07, 12:13 PM

Hey Jim, what happened to the "Race Patina"? You sell it?

MK -IV J6 · 04-07-07, 03:16 PM

Sal mixes up a batch of secret Silcilian stuff and does it by hand. Every 10 years we give her a clean. Here's the gear box.

MK -IV J6 · 04-07-07, 03:23 PM

A few more including AC system. As current Le Mans Coupe Regulations require AC we put one in, in case I decide to go back there...

Nope. Part under carbs is air box bottom. Linkage is now vaccumme secondary not mechanical as raced.
