It looks to me that this is the 917 from the former Rosso Bianco museeum. Looking at page 243 of the book Rosso Bianco Collection there is a picture of the engine room of the 917. When comparing this with the video on youtube, everything including the earthing strap and the cable ties is...

I too would like Fr 235 55 R 15 Rr 295 50 R 15 preferably Z-rated. I got 7" rims at the front and 10" at the rear. Would these sizes fit?

You will most certainly not find titanium square tubing because there is no market for it. Titanium in various grades and alloys is available as sheet, round tube and pipe and mainly used for process equipment in chemical plants. Welding of titanium is a very specialized area. Titanium must be...

Sorry,don't know much about them. I think I read somewhere that they were based around a KVA chassis but don't know exactly. There used to be a website from Hermsen which I saw last time about a year ago but I can't find it anymore.

The greatest country in the world. But they also love their speed cameras (every policeman has at least 2). If the country, the weather and the people could be combined with the rules of the Autobahn, it would be perfect.

This is a Hermsen Gt40 replica, the car is offered without engine, transaxle and rear axle. The car is in rolling condition, the car needs major overhaul, the car was last de-registered in 1/2000. Registered engine was 2800cc, 109 Hp. Tyres front 225/50-15 on Revolution wheels, rear 2 on...

Don't know but here is an interesting 1/2 scale GT40 for sale: 1/2 scale GT40

This car has been for sale over here for the last 18 months. No chance of selling at this rediculously high price.

Re: GT40\'s 40th Anniversary at the Nurburgring As far as tracking down original cars, there is one just around the corner from me in the Rosso Bianco museum in Achaffenburg / Germany. I believe it is #1071. I took a picture of it today.

Re: GT40\'s 40th Anniversary at the Nurburgring High Ande 4o, The idea is excellent. Would also be great if as many GT40 replicas as possible would be there. As to your suggested date, the Formula 1 GP of Europe will be held on the Nuerburgring over the weekend May 28-30. For me,it's only 200...

Chris Melia suggested to me that I should get a release bearing from a Ford Escort Mexico as it is narrower than my present one. Does anyone know where to get this from?

Thanks for the advise so far - it is actually not restricted to people who drive red cars. Julian, I think my problem might be different to yours because the clutch cover is touching the release lever above the pivoting point. So if the arm would release further, it would reduce the clearance to...

Jasper, I measured the height of my clutch cover. It is 54 mm.
