Hi Sean, you might find a use for this document. Regards Martin

You will need 100mm cv joints which have a pcd of 86mm, you should be able to find these with splines to fit your existing drive shafts but you will likely have to get new shafts made to correct length.

My clutch master is 3/4" bore.

Oh and another thing, if you have the opportunity while the box is being overhauled maybe, get the casings vapour blasted and powder coated. Likely the gearbox will be very visible on your car and without it they can quickly look quite ugly. I have two units, one powder coated and the other...

Hi Sean, the gearbox was used in so many vehicles, if you have a DQS or FRF then it will have come from something that had a 2.5tdi v6, Audi A4, A6, VW Passat, Skoda Fabia, Seat, who knows. I used a cable system originally but later changed to a jointed shaft, my selector is centrally mounted...

Hi Sean, realise you may by now have committed to something but I used an 01E in my GT40 replica mounted behind a coyote crate engine and it works just fine. The particular 01E to go for would be from a 2.5TDI V6, being a diesel motor the gearing is for low rpm and suits such a conversion...

I did wonder

Hi Eddy, the wheels are from Image, very helpful and familiar with offsets etc associated with the GT40.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The issue with the reflector at the rear is that in any situation with panels open, you must still be able to see a certain amount of the rear light (reflector). If you break down at the side of the road and open the rear body, the rear reflectors are...

One other thing I will do is fit access panels in the front wheel arch panels to allow access to the tank filler connections without having to struggle around the dash and close out panels.

Hi Steve, I realise you probably have things sorted now but just wanted to let you know how I worked my fuel system in case you are still working it, so here goes. I have the normal two tanks in the side joined by a -10 pipe at the rear, in my case both tanks have a -10 outlet at the lowest...

Hi, I know much has already been discussed about the 01E and apologise if anyone feels I am recycling but just wondered if there is any better information around now regarding choice of 01E gearbox to use. I recently had an issue with the gearbox I had originally fitted to the car and during...

Got my car passed through the IVA recently, some minor issues caught me out but all well after the retest. I had not considered the increase in the size of the opening at the nose of the bodywork when I decided to remove the unsightly moulding lip around the edge, I had measured this previously...

Hi Tom, I recently presented my car for IVA. I have perspex side windows and bulkhead window also made from perspex supplied by Plastics 4 Performance, they supplied with E marking. The markings required show two things, first is the authorisation number that the supplier has and the other...

Hi Lee, my advice would be to visit the manufacturers you are considering and make sure you are speaking to someone who knows about engineering. There are some very pretty cars out there that are based on sub standard engineering. Whoever you consider do no make a decision until you have...

Wish I read this thread before ordering headlight and spotlight perspex online, no answer to any efforts at trying to contact Darren at GT Forte or Autosport GP Engineering. Someone ring his neck for me when they see him.

Hi Colin, I have the same chassis I started in July 2014 but I am using a Coyote engine and an O1E trans. I am just down the road in Uxbridge. I might be able to help you avoid a couple of areas I got tripped up with.

Hi folks, I am some way into my build but thought I would introduce myself and maybe pick up some tips for the rest of the way. I have a GT Racing (MDA} chassis with a Coyote engine and a 01e gearbox. I started my build at the beginning of last summer after succumbing to a serious case of...
