As long as the cable sheath is securely fixed at the shifter end and at the transaxle end it should work fine. In my experience the whole run of the cable sheath does not need to be restrained only the ends.

If you port the crankcase ventilation into that port it will upset the air fuel mixture. It would be better to connect the crankcase ventilation into the filter side of the MAF so it becomes part of the total air flow measurement flowing through the throttle bodies.

Hi Bob. Go to Woollies and buy some stainless kitchen scrubbing pads and stuff them up the exhausts till you get the quietness you need. Dimi

Hi guys, I am also still here although life has been getting in the way of fun things. My wife's GT40 is still going ahead although slowly. I have just fabricated a new cooling thermostat housing / radiator filler cap assembly for her 40 and also for another friend that is building a 40. I have...

Hi The way I set mine up was to get the rear wheels squared off with centre line of the chassis and then string line these with the front wheels to get everything parallel. Once this was confirmed that all wheels were facing straight ahead then depending on the weight, driving style, and...

Hi All All this talk of EV's tends to forget/miss a couple of things. The range between charges and the outrageous cost of a new set of batteries when they fail, which they will.

Hi All Clean the calipers thoroughly with solvent that does not leave any residue and then sand blast them and spray with high temp caliper paint which will not be affected by the brake fluid. I did this to mine 8 years ago and they are still like new. Dimi

Hi All I have to say that I have an Odyssey battery in my 40 which was purchased in 2007 during my build and it is still working beautifully in 2016. I use an intelligent charger once every 2-3 months for a few days and the 40 starts easily every time. Best battery I have ever had. Dimi
