    Tach removal

    Thank you guys. I just spoke to Bob Wood at SAFIR. On his Mk 5 there are 6 screws just under the windshield that will allow the entire dash to come away. We shall see how far that gets us...

    Tach removal

    Hi Walter, SPF 2438. It's a Smiths gauge setup for a 4 cylinder from the factory so the revs are double what they should indicate and adjustment is in the back. From what I've read the dash is assembled first then put into the car. We're not sure if he should go down through the defroster grill...

    Tach removal

    My yet to be completed build #2438 needs the tach to be adjusted for an 8 cylinder. Any tips on getting the tach pulled out enough to adjust the back switches? My installer is pulling his hair out. Thanks

    It does seem high but I’m wondering if that price included the clutch and other parts. Thanks.

    You guys know this stuff inside and out. Any you advice you can share is greatly appreciated. I’ve been out of the country for two weeks so all has been on pause. I’m ready to hit play.

    Gordon Levy has quoted me a graziano trans at $25k which includes the L140 package and stouter internals. I’ve seen superlite indicate a $12k price for the trans on their site but I’m assuming and will confirm what Gordons price includes.

    I’m still waiting on a final chassis price. The one sent to me didn’t have my deposit credited and had wheels I didn’t order. Like I wrote, two dealers is one too many.

    Do you know of any transaxle available out there we should look into? I've been told by Hillbank that she's out 5-6 weeks, arriving at Olthoff, then needs to get shipped to Levy in AZ.

    Everything else feels like public transportation. Well, maybe not the Cobra... I'm planning on having Gordon Levy of Levy Racing do the install. I've been in limbo for four months so Gordon hasn't been working on a transaxle. I know it can be problematic.

    I've met Mike Murphy. He was kind enough to reply to a request to see a GT40 way back in 2019. He lives a couple of miles away from me in Meadow Vista. I'm up in Colfax. I agree, he has a beauty of a track car and a good vid of his driving from Laguna Seca to match. Mike took me out for a spin...

    Hi Ron. Yes, I know you are local, Roseville? I'm just past Auburn. The latest info I've received is that I do not have to purchase the 15s so I have none for sale although until she arrives nothing is for certain. I'd love to meet you and see your GT sometime. Although I have a SPF Mk3 I...

    SPF extra wide body 15x13 BRM wheels

    I apologize for all the confusion. This is an arrangment between myself and two separate dealers who are sharing in the sale. One arranged the sale, the other ordered the car. Like I wrote at the outset it's a long story but it seems to be sorting itself out eventually for the better. Gladly, I...

    SPF extra wide body 15x13 BRM wheels

    Randy, yes the realities of having the best looking tires ever! I live in the Sierra foothills above Sacramento so it does get into the triple digits this time of year. Krausse advises lifting the car to get the weight off the bias tires otherwise I might be driving for a while with the car...

    SPF extra wide body 15x13 BRM wheels

    Thanks for the feedback Dave. I've read nothing but praise for the CRs you have. What I've been told from Krausse is that the tires I'm referring to above are Avon Bias Ply A24. The come as slicks and are hand grooved. There are two sizes that fit the rear rims. I'm looking for some real world...

    SPF extra wide body 15x13 BRM wheels

    Hi guys, Long backstory which I cannot go into. I'm finding myself with a delivery of a new SPF GT40 extra wide body very soon. It is coming with the 15x13 BRM wheels and Avons. I originally intended to go with a set of 17s or 18s and running Continental radials as I understand from Krausse that...

    Rod's GT40

    Rod, Thanks for the reply. I certainly understand the Covid complications. and that companies are running into supply problems for raw materials affecting everything down stream, even worse if there are international suppliers and quarantines. Next time I talk to Fran I'll ask specifically...
