Aye, Robin built a place other side of the river to the farm known as ‘Forty Towers’. Foundations included a large cellar for his plonk. A 351 if I remember right, white with blue stripe. Maybe an engineer by trade? Ken, Mike & Robin pictured on cover of Aptil / May 1997 edition of the magazine...
I knew Mike Osborne editor of GT40 club (UK). He built a Tornado (BRG with yellow stripe) & moved to a farm in France with Ken Saunders c.1999. Vague recollection of a family connection with Canada but memory is foggy. No contact for years.
I have inherited the same... large push button external on driver's B pillar & small push button on the dashboard which is illuminated in the centre with a red dot when live. Works great.
Hi Scott,
I've read all the threads, videos etc available on wheel spinners & safety wire, not found a definitive explanation to date of which way a spinner thread should go & consider safety wiring only as a 'safety net'.
So I did some homework....
Physics suggests a male spinner should try...
Ditto, but after drawing blood when cleaning wheels now folding the final twist flat behind the spinner ear out the way. My high school physics suggests the internal angle of the ‘Y’ should not exceed 120 degrees to avoid multiplication of tensile forces on the single strand.
