.....and I regret buying. I still have an ear-to-ear grin from driving with you in that wonderful GTD, a rare bird she was!! Tim

Re: Braces For Our p2285 . . . Nick, I have a set of canards that came off SPF2091 Mark 1 as shipped from SPF if interested. Different style than Olthoff’s that Rick posted (no gurney lip, fiberglass and squared off vs curved) I prefer the curved styling over the squared style so had a local...

I did too Mike but I found the adrenaline being chased and ticketed by the CHP more appealing, how about you!!

After removal of the fuel cells and replaced with factory stainless tanks I'm in need of the plastic closure plugs at the door hinge pillar holes. Where to buy? McMaster Carr had some similar but not a perfect fit. Any suggestions?

Hi Mike, Short of dismantling and re-engineering your system to a reservoir tank to feed the carbs I don't see why your idea can't work with one critical caveat. The Weber's float bowl valve seat are very sensitive to pressure, get it down to 3psi. 5psi will force the valve to raise the fuel...

Good suggestion Rick. I'll do a full service on the front suspension but first the removal of the cell. I was hoping the filler hose access was through the plastic closure plugs as you recommend but I didn't want to break the seal until I was sure, thanks.

Thanks a million Rick. I've never had to confirm until now but my "R" was advertised and sold as FIA FT3 fuel cells. Inspection with the front sponson cover off, appears a cell inserted in an aluminum shell within the confines of the sponson ribs. 1) What's the procedure to get access to...

Any threads here on procedure to 'remove & replace' a fuel cell bladder. All I can find (search) is it's necessary to remove front suspension and remove from sponson through front wheel well cover. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated. Tim

Re: p2348 are you opposed to mounting battery in the passenger foot well? No particular issues in my car other than immediate access.

Audio Mike or they don't exist :pepper:

Way to steer that one Rick.....

Mike, Knowing your fellow GT40 brethren admire and desire fine auto jeweler as you do, I know you're not so selfish that you would make only one set of those beautiful billet knockoff's so we're just waiting for you to tell us what a production set is selling for. But if you're sharing...

Oliver, I would be hesitant to recommend since I installed on my Tornado not my SPF. QA1 had a pretty responsive customer service that help me get the correct shock, contact them.

^what John said. I too have had real good results with the QA1's.

Great thread. Certainly reminds us again how special the men of this era were.
