I use tire straps for years. Works on any vehicle.

Be aware, oil filled coils don't like to be sit horizontal. They need to sit vertical.

Usualy yes. But GT40's are allways the other way around. You keep drilling welding and fabbing things to improve cause after driving your freshly build GT40 you experiance the need for upgrades (things you should have done better before painting).

Today at Spa, 4 mufflers, measured at 101db.

Its very related. Today at Spa...

I binned that shifter short after I bought it, couldn't throw it from left to right without bending the shifter. Ending up with a Toyota MR2 shifter box soon after which is easy to set up. Running a Citroën transaxle which needs some force to shift.

Things to consider.. Quote Pegasus racing: Fuel cell foam reduces fuel sloshing and minimizing the chance of explosions, but it does deteriorate over time. As the foam breaks down, it can quickly clog fuel filters, fuel pumps, and carburetors. We recommend replacing fuel cell foam baffling at...

Well, it started with Ford Capri. The car you always promised yourself.. I now own all models including the mk1 V8 and a Zakspeed build mk3 3.0 RS widebody. Even "the Sexy European" Mercury Capri. GT40 was a dream car till a few years ago as I own a mk2 now. Next dream car is a GT40 mkIV and I...

Heatgun would do the trick, heat it up and form. Just aply some presure, and when its hot enough it will deform easy in its new shape. So no need for to much heat. Cool down with a wet towel inmidiatly when its in form. After cool down you can release pressure and usualy it stays in its new...

Its all about common sence. Building a GT40 aint difficult but it does take effort and common sence. Ive build my mk2 ground up together with my wife. Took us 1 1/2 year, 3 days a week total devotion. Covid quality time. No experiance with kitcars, but 30 years experiance with restoring European...

So while its a beautiful GT40 in every way, in essence its a mk2a with just the snorkels removed and not a mk2B. I sure do like the twin Holley setup as Holman Moody did with P1047. Again the detail work is astonishing.

Looks great, I just wonder why is has a decklid vent as it shouldn't be there on a mk2b. It looks more to a mk2a now with just the snorkels removed as it still has the mk1 front clip and dashboard. Otherwise way better in detail then my mk2a. P1047 was as smooth as silk as a mk2B

Thought the EWP needs to be installed after the lower rad hose as its designed to pull, not to push.

That not an airlock. If a temp gauge reads an air lock (=steam) it should read hot and not cold. There's no need to purge the cooling system. That airlock should be long gone since you have driven many miles even long distance trips for years. The electrical system needs attention.
