Hello All I am close to finishing an RCR40 build in the UK. Motor is a Chevy LS7 with Kinsler stack EFI which means CATS to get through the IVA. I think that the LS (or other modern V8) are fitted to a number of 40s in Australia, also requiring CATS. It would be most useful for me to see...

What Ho For all you RCR GT40 fans. Terry Hennebery has just got another 40 through the IVA, which is great news (bit like a production line now:cool:). However the most important news is that he is now fitting the body to mine and organising the paint job prior to me submitting the car for...

'Ello all RCR GT40, recently IVA'd registered today, taxed and ready to cause mayhem on the UK roads (only jokin'). Built by Terry Hennerbery (speedwell-replicacars.com), it will be collected by its happy new owner on Saturday. This will leave Terry time to complete his next...

'Ello Terry Hennerbery has successfully got his RCR40 through the IVA, I think this is the first in the UK, and is currently working on his second one (speedwell-replicacars.com). Great news for the rest of us working towards achieving this goal. So well done to him, a pioneer amongst...

'Ello Has anyone out there fitted a rod selector to a RH drive RCR, pictures would be good (I am attaching to a Quaife ZF-Q). To provide a little more cockpit room I am looking at replacing the RCR supplied selector with a narrower smaller unit and one of the options I have found (Southern...

'Ello all Early stages of wiring my RCR so noddy question from non electrical engineer. What battery capacity (I guess in amp output for 10hours?) should I be looking for. Running EFI, aircon and standard GM LS7 Alternator if that makes any difference. Best wishes to all hooligans...

Guys Got my ally SPEC clutch/flywheel, Chevy LS7, Quaife ZF-Q bell housing, Quaife ZF-Q tranny and Powermaster starter all assembled and ready for the mono. Will post details on my build next week. V. chuffed. Thanks to Fran, Chris Melia and Spec for their special efforts. John

'Ello The main reason I joined this Forum was the high signal to noise ratio and all the good ideas and technical information. The other stuff is important too but unfortunately attracts a disproportionally high number of the for Gods sake get a life sad fringe of nutters. You know the sort of...

'Ello Having been sorted by Tom in part 1 as to fitting the next question is optimum sizing; the engine will be on about 550bhp. Plan is to mount at the rear just just in front of the left hand rear clip back panel cut out. Air flow in this area will not be as good as a front mount so I guess...

'Ello Any of you SLC (or WHY) guys fitting LS7's have any pictures or schematics showing where to plumb in the oil cooler given that the (dry sump) engine has a seperate oil resevoir?:embarassed: Technically embarrassed of Lindfield Thanks John

'Ello I am planning the layout of my Kinsler supplied fuel system to feed the Kinsler stack EFI. There appear to be two types of stainless steel braided hose available, Nitrile Rubber and Teflon. The Teflon hose is about half the cost of the Nitrile and both claim to be up to the job. What...

'Ello Has anybody out there fitted bag tanks to an RCR yet. If yes what is the easiest (:laugh:) way to cut the holes in the mono for the fuel pipe filler and breather hose since work space is tight under the scuttle? Also from a positioning point of view I plan to align the holes so that...

'Ello all As shipped my RCR40 comes with 550lb springs front and rear with dual adjustable QA1 dampers and a front sway bar dia of 1" and rear of 3/4". I have followed Deans set up for ride hight, camber and caster at the front and plan to do so at the rear. Sway bar lever arm length and...

'Ello all Has anyone in the UK found a source for SAE 8.5 grade UNC and UNF fixings, these are normally finished with a light gold coloured plating and have the six radial markings on the bolt head. I've tried all the usual searches but without success so any help would be much appreciated...

Fran A big thank you to Casey who despite some difficult family problems has really pulled out all the stops getting some additional parts to me over the last few days. I have not made it any easier for her since I often don't know what I want till I get there on the build manual resulting in...

'Ello all Interested to know the for and against arguments for solid mounts v bushed mounts for my RCR/LS7. Fran has (kindly) supplied me with some excellent solid mounts for my LS7 which he made up in his shop. These could be re-engineered to accept bushes but I don't which is the best route...

Fran This posting has been made after a great deal of soul searching and with genuine regret by a group of very frustrated guys. We are all delighted with the design and quality of your products and each of us would still choose to build an RCR if making the choice again. However we have all...

'Ello all I am fitting a 157tooth Flywheel to the back of the LS7 with a 10.5 inch dia clutch. Three questions for those who know. 1. I would like some recommendations on which clutch manufacturer/model people have used successfully with 500+bhp 2. Billet Steel or Billet aluminium (6075...

'Ello all Anyone fitted a Chevy LS to a ZF? I will shortly be fitting an LS7 to an Quaife ZF-Q using the Quaife/Chris Melia bellhousing which has been manufactured so that it can fit either Ford small block or Chevy LS. Chris has kindly offered to come over to my place and assist with this...

Hi RCR GT40 build is progressing well, when I figure out how to downsize pics I will post some details. In the meantime I am working out precise location and fit of remote reservoirs. Trawling through the site they seem to come in a variety of shapes and sizes. So am I right in calculating...
