    Wilwood Master Cylinder Replacement

    I own P/2171. I am experiencing braking problems. There is absolutely no pedal resistance when pressing for the first 2-3 inches. I get limited braking when the pedal gets pushed all the way. I went through a brake bleeding process. The front brakes bleed properly. However, no fluid comes out...

    Draining Coolant

    I own SPF GT40 P/2171, Roush 427SR. I am uncertain how to drain the coolant from the vehicle. I see what appears to be a drain plug on the radiator (lower passenger side), but it's on the inside of the front clip. If that is the drain plug, how does on go about draining the coolant from a plug...

    Road Clearance Issue

    I took delivery of my GT40 Mk2 (P/2171) in April of 2008. I live in Maine and travel the roads of Southern Maine and Central New Hampshire. Many of these roads can be unforgiving in terms of left over frost heaves, dips, and uneven pavement. I always attempt to be cautious and avoid road...

    Water Temperature Gauge Not Working

    I own P/2171. It has a Roush 427SR. I've noticed that the water temperature gauge is no longer working. I'm thinking this should be a relatively easy problem to diagnose, but I'm not certain where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have a couple questions. Does water...

    Brake Pedal Does Not Return When Pressed

    I haven't made too much progress determining my brake pedal issue. I added (topped off) the brake fluid to the level discussed earlier in the forum. This did not cure the brake pedal from returning. I removed the four bolts that secure the pedal assembly and moved it forward enough to...

    Brake Pedal Does Not Return When Pressed

    I removed the front clip to discover where the two brake master cylinder reservoirs are. I am however puzzled to determine just what the proper level of fluid should be. There is a brass rim that with treads on it for the caps to screw into. The fluid in one reservoir is approximately 3/4"...

    Poor Amp Meter Reading

    Thanks to all of you who responded to my inquiry. I've contacted APT Instruments to acquire the volt meter. I'll follow Lynn's instruction on how to install it. The forum has been a very valuable exchange of information for me when I encounter an issue that I need help with. Thanks, Don in Maine

    Poor Amp Meter Reading

    I own GT40 II 2171. It has a Roush 427SR. Recently I've noticed the Smiths amp meter reflecting the following: 1. Upon starting the engine, the amp meter reads approximately 25, then gradually decreases to about 5 over the next couple minutes. It basically remains a 4-5. 2. While driving...
