Hi Valcalla, If your based in York, you should join the GT Enthusiasts Club, the North East have a good group that meets every second Tuesday of the month, the venue is just South of Leeds. The website is here. https://www.gt40enthusiastsclub.com

I have a Ford Mustang Modular 4.6 but the 16 Valve engine fitted to my GT. It required the chassis to be special built by Southern GT so it would fit, but it fills the engine compartment and looks very impressive.

Hi Randy, One of our guys in the Club has had his wrapped, I was impressed with the final outcome, he said the guy who did it managed to overcome all the angles.

Hi Bill, I had the same problem with the door moving up and down, and the bolts that hold the hinge were fully tight. Mick at Southern GT said that to rectify this I had to loosen the top bolts, then tap the hinge down gently, tighten them up and that solved the problem for me. Obviously the...

I had mine fitted before painting, my painter did a fantastic job of pealing back the rubbers, but he did say he would have preferred to paint the car without the screen in. Good luck.

Hi, This just came my way, it shows that if you knew then, what you know now, we could all be millionaires.

Racing fluid just arrived and Zircoflex in transit, will let you know in a couple of days. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply’s, I will look into heat shields, also told the main item I need is Racing clutch fluid, this has a boiling point of 360 degrees as opposed to 210 with normal Dot4 fluid.

It’s a Mustang 4.6 litre with a Renault UN1 box, all on a Southern GT Chassis. The main problem is there is very little room between the slave cylinder and the pipes.

Hi Guys, Since getting my car on the road I have not done a large mileage. The next day I always have difficulty in engaging gears, on inspection it would appear that the exhaust pipes are too close to the slave cylinder and I am boiling the clutch fluid. Now I can wrap the pipes in a Lava...

Hi All, after help from Mick late of Southern GT, found the problem, the bearing carrier was sticking out too far and was rubbing against the clutch plate. That’s why I could not work the gears normally. Mick is shortening my carrier and it should be ok once it’s back in. Don.

To date I have done about 100 miles on my car since the IVA Test. All going well till the other day, started it up, but it would not go into any gear,(Lots of grinding). If I switch off the engine put it in gear then start it up, bring up the clutch and I can move off, but it wont change gear...

Hi Shaun, I had a similar problem with nothing turning, turns out I had trashed the bearings that the gearbox shaft went into. Easy job to replace but a bugger to get the lid bearings out. Good luck. Don.
