Thanks for the photos. I'll take the steering rack@$75 (as well as the free rack connector and wheel). And I'll also take the Koso gauge if Rich passes on it. My zip is 39120. Jack

It’s from an SLC. I can measure when I get home. Yes, please do. I need width measurement to see if I can use the rack on a project I'm working on.

Do you know what production car the RHD steering rack fits and the rack width less tie rods? Jack

I'm interested in your RHD steering rack and Koso gauge, if available. Do you know what car the rack is from, and it's width? And which model Koso gauge are you offering? Thanks, Jack Dunn [email protected]

Scott, thanks for your detailed reply, and for sharing the information from your aero guy. Lots of great information there. Much appreciated! Jack

Inlet should be ~40% smaller than the radiator core Outlet should be ~14% larger than the inlet Do these inlet/outlet opening areas and ratios stay the same if the radiator core is tilted significantly from upright, and/or if the radiator core area is made up of a very thick core? Jack

Avon 12.5/27.0-15 treaded on 15"x 14" rims on my Pantera Gr4 style. Works on the street, but race tires throw a lot of stones up into the wheelwells. Also, thin sidewalls lose air pressure quicker than street tires. Jack

From Corvette Forum, as noted in a Chevy engineer's notebook, the C8 dual clutch transaxle weighs 341 lbs.

There is much to recommend using modern Corvette suspension for your project, and I respect your decision. In my case, I find that getting a project up and running in a reasonable time keeps my enthusiasm up to finish the project. Everyone has their own priorities.

Dave, have you considered using the rear suspension you already have? If you were planning to use matching C5 suspension front and rear, I could understand changing the rear suspension, but you aren't. While I realize that the montage V8 rear suspension uses 1980s FWD front uprights, the...

I ordered my SPF Mk1 with RHD and RH shift. I, too, have an RBT. I have enjoyed driving the car for ten years, and the shifting has always been exceptional. Light and positive, like a smooth bolt action on a rifle. The shift is one of the great pleasures I get from driving my GT40. The RH shift...

They had this chassis on display at the GT40 reunion at Elkhart Lake in 2009. It was an incomplete roller at that time, iirc. I remember noticing the wide wheels/tires sticking out from under the rear flares a bit. The bodywork and paint was really nice. Jack

Jon, at the time I was having my SPF GT40 built, it was popular to use the new at the time Quaife transaxle. I chose the RBT because it is time tested, parts and service are readily available, and you get to select the ratios to suit your engine. It has performed perfectly behind a 440" 630hp...

I ordered the car new from the factory. It went straight to Dennis Olthoff's shop to benefit from his expertise, and he chose the wheel/tire sizes I've listed. (BTW, the 17" Michelin Pilot Sports on the front are 245/40ZR17, which are about same diameter as the 15" Avons, about 23.5"). I'm...
