Sorry for this stupid question but how could you make any adjustment with a car that has no wheel in contact with the flor ?

I replaced all the rubber boots on mine, they were opened or cut and the dirt was going inside. I bought a set of various diameters and sizes on amazon and found the approriate ones.

Nice begining, what type of shock absober are you using ? It is a gaz tank on top ?

I checked how my engine was assembled on the engine mount (done by the previous owner) and it was done with lock wire on the engine side (hot) and nyllock ont the frame side [cold)

Questiion, does the color will be keep with age, it will not become yellow ?

No Nylock, but spring washer but I preferer Loctite, it is the best. Aviation component is may be too much.

I changed all the gaskets of the parts making up the injection. After reassembling, the tension of the throttle cable had to be adjusted on the capstan, which was new because before, the cable acted on a small lever on the side, not through the capstan. This forced several modifications to the...

Welcome Mike, You are at the (only) right place ; I am a rooky too, since a few months and I got plenty of good or clever answers for any problem that I had on rebuilding of my car.

Today, I removed the front and back clam shells, and I discover that the front wheel seem to touch the body near the gas tank, and also the back of the arch on each side. As a reminder the car never took the road, but only did a few turns in a parking lot. The adjustments on the suspensions are...

I fanally found a photo

I saw that several GT40 are equiped on the front cover with self ejecting fasteners (1/4 turn), but with an aerodynamic profil. Instead to have 2 large lobes, the one oriented to the front of the car is smaller than the one of pointed the back of the car. I tried to show you what I am thinking...

Thank you for those contributions. I got the information from the car vendor that the engine on my car was the one used to publish a report in Mustang and Fast Ford. The difference with it is that the inlet is now done by a Borla injection with Accel electronic instead of a carburator. I am not...

JacMac, you are completely right, but to run the engine in my garage, at least, I need oil in the engine. Presently the engine is running but the type of oil inside is a mystery and I do not want to spend 60€ to get the info. Dry sump will be the next step...

Hello, My RCR GT40 is equiped with a Dart Aluminum block SBF 302 strocked to 370, full roller, wet sump, with Victor Junior heads, Borla injection. But what kind of oil shall I use for a race track use only. I went on the Dart web site and nothing is specified.
