I have a new windshield that fits a Roaring Forties but i believe it is the same as a Factory Five…..

The temp control switch (turns the compressor on/off depending on the temp of the evaporator coil) are a known weak link. If you don’t have power to the AC clutch that is the first place i would check.

I am in Huntsville, also about an hour and a half away.…… welcome to the forum. Keith

OH WoW!!!!!! Soooooooo happy for you. Now the real fun begins!

Now the real fun begins. Congratulations!!!

This RF has a dash mounted ignition switch and i believe it had a ford logo on it……but, it has been two years since i last saw it. i have ordered two TC/TX key blanks off eBay to see if they will work.

I agree, would not go much further without measuring crank end play because something sounds radically wrong here. Almost sounds like there is no thrust bearing….. With a pry bar and wood block push the crank towards the rear as far as it will go, set up a dial indicator and push in the clutch.

I just looked on eBay, you are correct the key does look like the Ford TC/TX key. Going to order a few and measure them up. Thank you, Keith

Now that we have completed RF 036 the owner is concerned that he only has the one ignition key. I have not been able to locate a suitable key blank to cut a second key. We have a locksmith here locally looking as well as a locksmith in the UK but we have not been able to find a match. I am...

Yup, got a 12 cylinder Ferrari 456 in my shop now.......

Not sure, it was something the original owner supposedly purchased at BJ Auction. Aluminum body looks pretty good; frame looks like it was put together by a ten year old. We will only use the body, going to start from scratch with a frame that was built to replicate an original. Keith

I have added photos......it is boxed but no shipping crate.

I have a windshield that will fit a RF GT40. When I completed RF #36 we purchased two just in case we broke one during the install. I don’t have a photo but we all know what they look like...... I have more than $200 in it but I will take that for it.
